Rooftop Reflections – Guatemala 2016 – Monday, July 18, 2016

rooftop-reflections-monday-july-18-2016

I spent two weeks in Guatemala in July.  Each morning, I woke up before anyone else in our house, and I climbed up the steps to the roof of our house in Santo Domingo Xenacoj.  This is where I started my day with prayer, reading, and rooftop reflections.

Each morning, I recorded a video documenting my “Rooftop Reflections.”  I initially posted these on Facebook, but I realize many of my readers aren’t connected with me on Facebook.  Over the next several weeks, I’ll release these videos to you here on the blog.  These videos provide another glimpse into my experiences in Guatemala.

Video Blog: Table Topics – Spring and St. Patrick’s Day

The past few Wednesdays have featured video posts.  This provides an opportunity to practice my speaking and to try something different.  Here is today’s video post.  After you watch the video, answer the questions in the comments.

Questions for the comments:

1.  Why are you excited about spring?

2.  What would you do with the gold in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

3.  Tell us about a time when you felt like luck was on your side.

4.  St. Patrick is the patron saint of engineers, and he was a missionary to Ireland.  What is your mission?  Where are you serving?

Watch the video to hear my responses.

Ice Breaker – Burning Down The House

Each week on The Stretched Blog, I ask an ice breaker question.  The questions are designed to help us get to know each other here in The Stretched Community.  I’ll provide my answer to the question here in the post, and then you can leave your response in the comments.  While you’re in the comments section, see how others answered the ice breaker question.

I’m going to try something a little different again for this week’s ice breaker question.  I’ll be leaving my response on video.  I did this a couple of weeks ago, and the response was pretty positive.  Let me know what you think.  So here goes….

Question:  If your house was burning down, what 3 objects would you try to save?

My Answer:  You’ll have to watch the video below.

Answer this week’s ice breaker question by leaving a comment.  I look forward to reading your response!  (As always, feel free to share links.)  And keep STRETCHING!
