What would you do if you won the lottery?

If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is give the Lord thanks, then ask Him for guidance on how to use the winnings.

For sure, I would give to the Lord’s work, pay all household and personal debt, give to my siblings and their families, and give to charity. Then, I will invest and save the rest.

But this is if the winnings of the lottery are money.

The winnings could be like that in Shirley Jackson’s short story called The Lottery. If that’s the case, I think I will pass. Thank you very much.

What books do you want to read?

I would like to read more Victorian novels like something from Wikie Collins or Elizabeth Gaskill. More novels of that period to add to my growing number.

Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

My favorite and most precious tradition, but I will call it a value, is our family worship. Of course, this is extra to our own morning devotions to the Lord.

As far back as I can remember, and even when my parents worked shift jobs, we will have our family prayer.

Never would they let us go to school or even leave the house without committing our day or our ways to the Lord.

Grown up and on business trips or just away from home, we will do it even after our private devotions just before leaving going outside for the morning.

Dad would do a short prayer and read a verse and ask the Lord for guidance before we leave the house. This would never be long, only about five or so tops.

We all still do this in our individual homes. Then, when we get back home, we never fail to give the Lord thanks for a good journey and his mercies. Even before we drive off in the car, we quickly commit our way to the Lord.

It is a blessing to put him first.

The family that prays together does stay together.

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

On a lazy, easy day, I love having a nice hot cup of coffee or tea and sitting at a window in a quaint but not too busy coffee shop watching the people outside go by. I like people watching. I am not a voyeur.

If it is raining outside or it is breezy and the wind is lightly blowing, moving things around, I like to watch that, too.

Even if I am at home, I like sitting in my fav chair looking out the big back window, sipping my hot brew with the dogs lying at my feet as I look at the sunrise or the sunset.

I don’t think of anything for certain. I just sit,watch, sigh, and smile.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

I would like to complete a morning hike through a lush forested area and over bedrock to the cascading Tiffany Falls.

The conservation area is said to be waking up in the spring with the “roaring” of the waterfalls during the spring thaw.

Nature can be so picturque.
