Sunday Stealing

Hosted by  Bev Sykes. . Welcome to Sunday Stealing. 

Bev's  friend, author, artist and theater critic Alec Clayton decided to write a series of more complicated questions to answer during this coronavirus time, when we are all looking for something to do if we are staying home. She thought his questions intriguing.

1. If there's a personal god, what quality would you most like that person to have (and why)? 

Well, there is a great God, the God of the Universe,  the Creator of the world.  Because of His great mercy and love He provided a means for us to  know Him in a personal way. John 3:16.  His being surpasses  more than   one  attribute,  for He is all-knowing, all-present, all- powerful.   At the same time He is all love, mercy, compassion, grace.  He is, also,  completely holy,    and without  saving grace  through  believing on the death and resurrection of His perfect son, Jesus Christ,  we would not have access  to Him  for He cannot look upon sin!Unless we  repent and turn from our sinful self reliance  and wicked ways, ..believe Jesus did what the Bible said He did,   and  trust Christ as Savior, , then we are lost.  But  why wouldn't  anyone choose to accept  these truths and be saved?  That is beyond my understanding.

2. What's your death-row meal? 

I do not think I could eat,  and if I did I'd  probably feel very ill all night!

3. Assuming we make it through this outbreak with minimal loss of life, what do you think our big takeaway should be?

Appreciate  the wonderful opportunities we  have,  support    those businesses that have  given us  those opportunities like shops,  restaurants,  schools, churches, etc..and hopefully we come out  trusting God and  loving Him even more!

4. Whom do you find yourself missing more than you would've predicted?

Well, I can see and talk to all of those who mean the world to me  just as I usually can,online.   I miss  going out to eat with dear friends like Dot, Bill, Gerri, and David.  We didn't get to go out to eat  on our monthly  dinner with Lynn's cousins so I miss them.

5. What brings you the most joy? Not happiness, not contentment -- JOY.

Enjoying    times around the Word of God with  my church family, and  being with my daughter and grands.

6. Do you find yourself regretting anything you've said or done on social media?

yes

7. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your body and face?

 Favorite-  I hope I respond to people with a loving smile... I have  lovely hands just like my mother

least favorite,,  my out of shape body  and    extra pounds

the double chin I inherited from dad ...even  had it  as a child and I was  pretty  skinny

8. and your life?

I am grateful for  everything in my life.. it either came to me    through the God's ordained or permissive  will...  I accept it all  as being for  my good...

9. How's the self-isolation affecting your libido?

What is that?  Ha

10. Which three places in the physical universe would you most like to visit?

My feet are best suited for the ground. so I prefer earth... Yorkshire Dales and Cotswolds, 

Stirlingshire, Perthshire, and Invernessshire regions of Scotland, and Braunschweig, a city in Lower Saxony, Germany, all places from which I hail, according to Ancestry.com.

11. On whom did you have a crush years ago? Have you ever told them?

I had a long term crush on the  western star, Robert Fuller..  and yes, I did meet him as a teenager and got to tell him,  at which time, he actually kissed me on the cheek!

12. How have your religious views changed since you were in high school?

I am a new creature in Christ, I am forgiven  for all sins  from my past and future, and I do  bring my  sins before God  seeking his  forgiveness and restoration.  for I do not wish anything to separate me from  His presence.  My hope now is in heaven.

13. If you could change one law, what would it be?

I would change the Constitution to  make Congress  have term limits.

14. If you could add one commandment to the original ten, what would it be?

I do not feel comfortable messing with God's  law.. even though Christ came to fulfil the law,  we are not to add  anything to His  written Word!

now if I could  add back an element to blogger, I would reinstitute   the spell checker!
