25 Things About Me

I've had this list written for a while, but after watching a Dr. Phil segment on Facebook, I've been a little tentative about posting it there. Still, it's a good list and pretty indicative of the things that swirl around in my mind.

1. I cannot imagine my life without Tiffany; no one has been able to keep me grounded like her.
2. I admit it, I’m a little nuts.
3. Being a dad is the coolest thing I’ve ever been blessed to do.
4. I love movies, especially geeky ones.
5. I sometimes get conflicted over which superhero I would want to be: Superman, Batman, or Spiderman. Superman usually always wins.
6. I wish I could own a lightsaber.
7. My favorite food is the edible kind – except seafood.
8. The Beatles are my favorite music group, though I don’t listen as much as I used to.
9. I once spent a summer trying to talk with a British accent.
10. I sometimes wish I went into the military to be a pilot and even considered enlisting as a chaplain after 9/11.
11. I received my call to ministry the summer before my freshman year in high school; I was 14 yrs. old.
12. Learning to play guitar helped me survive high school.
13. I love the creativity and freedom serving a new church provides
14. Sharing the love of God and Jesus’ story is my life’s passion, but I struggle with the organized side of church.
15. I love Disney World, and every time I go I think about moving down there and starting over.
16. I used to be a religious newspaper columnist and miss doing it.
17. I struggle with my self-confidence, and it usually stems from my battle with food (see #6)
18. I always wished I had straight and soft hair
19. I tried to grow a mullet in 8th grade and it turned out to be an afro
20. I am learning I need to encourage my son to do more social activities, even if I want to stay home and play on Twitter or Facebook.
21. I learned the only lesson I’ll ever need when it comes to honesty and integrity when I was in the 4th grade; it literally changed my life.
22. I miss my dad terribly and wonder what he would think of the man I’ve become.
23. I have gaping holes in my heart as a result of the miscarriages we have had.
24. I believe God wipes the tears away that fall in private.
25. I can’t drink caffeine after 4pm – it’s like feeding a gremlin after midnight.
