Wednesday's Quietude Hodgepodge

Visit Joyce and join the fun!

1. What's something you resolved to do this year? Have you done it?

I don't know if it is truly a resolution but I did try to start eating better and to exercise.  I have not done very well, however I haven't had soda or fast food since January :)  

2. Where do you go to find quietude?

If I can leave the house it is the beach for sure.  

If it is while we are staying home these days it is my back deck.  I sit and stare into the woods, listening to the birds and praising God for His creation.  The other day it was very windy and the trees were swaying.  I was thinking of how God created the birds, how they didn't fall to the ground from the wind.  It reminds me of the children's hymn "God Sees The Little Sparrow Fall".  One of the lyrics is 

"If God so loves the little birds,
I know He loves me, too."

3. A friend asked this question on her Facebook page and said I could borrow it for the Hodgepodge...you're only allowed to buy 5 things at the grocery store, and all must start with the first letter of your first name. Whatcha' buying?

Toilet paper, Taco shells, Tomatoes, Tea, Twix

 

4. The television show Survivor, the Gloria Gaynor song 'I Will Survive', survival mode, survival of the fittest...pick one and discuss.

I know people use survival of the fittest for other meanings but I think of Darwin's theory relating to natural selection.  I do not agree because I do not believe in evolution.  I believe that the world and all that is in it was created by God. 

5. Share a favorite quote or saying about strength.

"Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come."

Proverbs 31:25

6. Insert your own random thought here.

"A frightened world needs a fearless church."
A.W. Tozer

So thankful for technology and the ways in which churches can still meet during this time.
