Well, since I’ve been tagged on this one by both Patti and Gerrard… I should definitely do something. I wouldn’t want to be "blog rude."
- I strongly dislike some things that most normal people love. I don’t like bowling, all-nighters, Christmas, or celebrating my birthday. Though Kristen takes great pleasure in making certain that I do all of those things annually.
- While I’m not a geek about it, I like weird music such as classical, jazz, and the music of Bollywood. In the car I like to listen loud and play the part of the director.
- As a child, I had severe allergies to cats and burning leaves. There were many times when I was a kid that I had to go get big nasty shots in the ER and I struggled with breathing so hard that I was sure I would die. In fact, I often had day dreams that God had not allowed me to die so that I could become a superhero. Not sure youth pastor fits that category… because I can’t fly.
- I love documentaries and biographies. For some reason I am absolutely infatuated with people’s life stories. I am so self-reflexive myself that I used to tell my own life story to myself over and over again in middle school. My favorite place to disappear to was into a tree. I would climb high into a tree with a book or a journal and spend hours just sitting there. I’m pretty convinced that one day I’ll write the most boring autobiography ever published.
- While I am a proud graduate of Moody Bible Institute, I pretty much hated/fought against most of the experience. Let me clarify… I hated living in the dorms because the experience was a little too much for me. As a married student, I got to attend the classes I wanted and that was it. I loved that! The profs are fantastic, just the resident life that left a lot to be desired. Oh, Moody confession… I never went to chapel in the last 3 years of my tenure there. I was exempt because I worked full time. And there were times when I had to listen on the radio to Founder’s Week because I was working. Don’t tell!
