To Know Him hosts Know and Tell Friday and asks this week:

Question 1: Favorite season and why?

It would be hard to choose between fall and spring. Both are a relief from the extremities of the previous season with milder temperatures. I love the colors and crispness and coolness of fall, the warmth and blooming of new things in spring after a cold, barren winter.

Question 2: How many times have you moved in your life?

If I only count the moves to a different state or city rather than within a city, as our hostess did…Let’s see… four times as I was growing up, once when I got married, twice since being married. It’s a challenge every time, but I think the Lord has something for us in every place.

Question 3: What kind of chicken wings do you like? Mild, medium, hot, or singe your eyebrows off hot? 

I am not much of a chicken wings fan, but if I eat them I prefer mild.

Question 4: Which is worse? Shopping for Jeans or a bathing suit?

I haven’t done either in a long time, but I would say bathing suit.

Question 5: What is your favorite kind of pizza?

I like pepperoni and sausage together. I think my favorite place to order it from is Papa John’s, but we like to get it from different places different times.

Bonus Questions
Question 6: What is your favorite book of the Bible and why?

That’s a hard one, but probably the Psalms. Though our circumstances are different, I can identify with a lot of David’s struggles and feelings and his wrestling through a problem to refocus his heart on the Lord. It’s nice to know someone who was “a man after God’s own heart” wrestled with some of the same things we do.

Question 7: Think Evangelism…I assume that most of my readers are Christians… I post a lot about my walk with Christ and it seems most people that comment encourage me in my journey. Saying all of that, what kind of witness (telling others about Christ, spreading the gospel) are you?

(Ouch!)  This is the area where I fail the most. I want others to hear the gospel and be saved, but when I think I should speak to someone personally, I find all kinds of reasons why it is not a good time or why they really don’t want to hear it. I am fine with writing the gospel and have several times: it’s just personally speaking to someone where I stumble. I suppose that comes from being reserved and avoiding confrontation anyway, but also because some family members have flat out said they didn’t want anyone to talk to them about it.

I hope those reading will feel free to join in on this weekly meme. It’s a interesting way to get to know people and it’s small enough that it’s easy to visit all the other participants.
