Friday 5, Gifts and Talents

Over at RevGalBlogPals, Sally writes:

Our Circuit (Methodist) is having a "Gifts and talents day" tomorrow- we have a minister visiting from another circuit who has modified the Myers Briggs personality test and added a few things of his own to run a day where we get to look at ourselves in the light of giftings and of the whole church. The idea is to encourage everyone with the news that there is room for you in the ministry of the church- and perhaps to discover where that ministry might be.....

It should be an interesting day, and one where I hope people will leave feeling encouraged and challenged...

So with gifts and talents in mind here is todays Friday 5;

1. Personality tests; love them or hate them?

The only important personality test is the one I give to everybody I meet: it's the Molly Berner Temperament Index. The three possible results are:

Loves me

Likes me

Doesn't know what's good for them

2. Would you describe yourself as practical, creative, intellectual or a mixture ?

I am highly intellectual and creative about getting my people to serve my practical needs.

3. It is said that everyone has their 15 minutes of fame; have you had yours yet? If so what was it, if not dream away what would you like it to be?

I'm not famous? But I'm on the Internet!

4. If you were given a 2 year sabbatical ( oh the dream of it) to create something would it be music, literature, art.....something completely different...share your dream with us...

My whole life is a sabbatical. Come on over to the couch, and let's have a nap.

5. Describe a talent you would like to develop, but that seems completely beyond you.

I would like to be able to make better friends with my cats.

How about you? What talent would you like to have?

Molly, I'd love to nap with you, but I don't think my cats would be wild about the idea.

Molly, I would love to come hang out with you, and learn some of your "tips" for getting people to do whatever you want.

Well Molly - MochaJava Puppy is amazed that you can be famous and he can be famous... but as he naps now I'm sure he's already thinking of ways you two can share the stage... and maybe Scout too.

Molly, I met a Bernese Mountain dog tonight at the lake! He was a boy, but he was nice anyway.

I like your list, Molly! Sorry I haven't been able to convince The Typist to play the Friday Five today. She's been playing with her yarn again tonight. But maybe we'll do it on Saturday.

Hey Molly! I'm too busy with a GIANT LIZARD to do the Friday Five.

I can help you get along with cats. My dog, Sister, can help you, too.

Lots of love and as Melech says, "Peace to the Paw"

Your Friend,
