Here are the four Share Your World questions from Cee for this week.    Click the Share Your World link if you want to join in and play along.

1. What’s my favorite holiday and why? My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love the Advent season and the celebrations that we have at church. I especially love Christmas because we usually get to go home to Texas and get to see all our family.
   
2. Do you prefer your food separated or mixed together? I can do either, but I especially like to mix my rice with whatever else we’re having. For example, I like to cover my enchiladas with Spanish rice. I also enjoy soups and casseroles. I think the fact that I do not mind mixing my foods is somewhat remarkable considering that my dad usually only eats one dish at a time.
3. Before making a phone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? I have done that on occasion, depending on the type of call. Growing up, calling girls (and later women) scared me to death, so I would definitely rehearse my calls then. (It usually didn’t help.) 
4. When you are with your friends, do your interactions include much touching—for example, hugging, kissing, rough housing, rubbing backs?   Would you like to have more of this? With friends, I do tend to be comfortable with touching, mainly hugging. Kissing and rubbing backs is limited to my best friend – my wife! Rough housing is usually limited to family. Part of my comfort with touching may come from being a pastor. I have a tendency to touch people on their arms or shoulders as a comforting gesture. And of course, I’m always shaking hands and receiving hugs from church members. I think I do pretty well with cues about knowing who does and doesn’t want to be touched. I’m comfortable with the way things are with my friends, so I’d say I don’t need more.
