It's Earth Day and a Hodgepodge
Joyce Asks the Questions..
We Answer the Questions...
1. April 22nd is Earth Day…what’s the most “out of this world” place you’ve ever visited? Tell us something about it.
One of the most “out of this world” places I’ve experienced was in Alaska....I have traveled to many places, but I totally enjoyed our trip to Alaska.. My favorites were the train rides...Train ride from Anchorage to Seward...AMAZING. I could take this train ride over and over again... And then...our train ride on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. So much beauty and I find train rides to be very relaxing.
2. A favorite quote, verse, or song lyric with the word earth in it?
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” – Psalm 24:1
That verse always centers me. It’s a reminder that this world isn’t ours to control, but to care for, appreciate, and walk through with gratitude.
3. What’s the most trivial thing about which you have a strong opinion?
I'm not sure it is trivial, but my strong opinion is teaching young people to have reverence in church. Hats, caps, shorts, tops that show a little more than they should. All of these things seem to be acceptable now days. I could write several pages of thoughts about this topic, but I'm sure that you all understand my point here. What has happened to the reverence in honoring God?
4. What’s your most commonly used kitchen utensil or tool? What’s the last thing you made using that tool?
My most-used kitchen tool is probably my good old wooden spoon. A wooden spoon—feels like home. The last thing I made with it was a big pot of chili. This one wooden spoon has probably stirred more memories than meals in my house. Not only has it been used for my cooking, but the grand-kids (when they were younger) used it to play drums with when beating on the pots and pans. ❤️❤️
5. What is your greatest extravagance?
My greatest extravagance.... Hmmm... I'm guessing it might be our pool. It wasn't something we had to have, but it was something that we wanted. Our family enjoys the pool and especially during the summer holidays and Birthdays....when we have big cookouts.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I agree with your thoughts on reverence. I understand people without the means or wardrobe to dress being welcomed into church but mostly what I see falls under the heading of lazy or I just want to be comfy. I have been to more than 3/4 of the US, but never to Alaska. Maybe someday.
