I saw at Laurel’s that there is a new meme at To Know Him called Know and Tell Friday. I thought it looked like fun.

This week’s questions are:

1.What scares you?

Oh, my — too many things. I regularly have to wrestle with fears and “what ifs?” and entrust them to the Lord. A few would be: something drastic happening to my kids or husband; anyone on my family falling away spiritually; heights; the dark; bad guys of any variety; spiders and snakes and creepy things; health issues….

 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (Psalm 56:3).

2. Coke or Pepsi (Diet counts)?

Diet decaf Pepsi. I used to drink Dr. Pepper, but had to go decaf for health reasons, and didn’t care for its decaf version. Then at a church fellowship I tried decaf Pepsi and liked it, then switched to the diet version several months ago. Since the only decaf soft drink in most restaurants is Sierra Mist and I’m not real crazy about it, I usually drink water out or root beer if they have it.

3. I would love to try… 

Painting. Not big portraits or masterpieces, but I’d love to learn enough to paint a little flower on a note card, things like that.

4. Spiritually speaking, do you have a Quiet Time? If so, where, when, and how long have you had one? If not, what is stopping you from having a Quiet time? (Quiet time is defined as time alone with God. It can consist of praying, reading God’s word, and worship among many other things).

Yes, I do. It took a long time to get regular about it, and then the problem is staying awake and alert and truly concentrating and meeting with the Lord rather than just “doing my duty.” There will always be some kind of battle involved with it, but it’s very worth it to do whatever we can. I wrote a few posts in connection with this, listed in the “My favorite posts” section of my sidebar.
