OK - Answer these three questions about yourself. No skipping! If you don't want to share, just wait until there are new questions. After five people respond (I'll start - - it's only fair), then whoever posts in post #5 will ask three new questions after answering the previous questions.
These directions seem complicated, but I think it will be clear once we start (famous last words). Here I go:
1. What was the last fictional book you read?
I am currently reading "Wildfire" by Nelson DeMille. Post-911 domestic terrorism thriller.
2. When was the last time you cried?
I read a facebook post from my 92 year old friend that shared that her sister had passed away and requested prayer. I prayed, expecting things to be quick and mechanical. While I prayed for my friend's emotional and spiritual comfort, I had a great sense of loss. I felt the loss of someone who not only appreciated the cultural things she lived out, but of someone who had experiential knowledge of all these things. She would have seen "Gone With the Wind" and other movie classics in the theaters. She would have heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor as it happened. She would have conducted She would have conducted "Duck and Cover" drills when teaching in the school systems.
Anyway, as I prayed about the loss of someone who lived these things with her, tears ran down my face. This used to happen all the time when I did intercessory prayer, particularly in groups, which I hated. I don't mind this, but I didn't like always being asked if I was okay. Apparently, God is bringing this back to my life..
3. The last road trip I took was...
Camping last year with the kids from the Sacramento area to a site near Crescent City in the Redwood Forest. We also made a detour into Oregon because it was there. The kids missed their pets at home, so they adopted a banana slug and named it "Fred." My kids are weird.
Your turn!
