5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me

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.”

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I tag Derek, Todd, and Ken.

    Anxiously awaiting the A Mac story. 😀

    If you mean “why did Dave Rahn refer to me as A Mac?”… I have no idea. I’ve never been called that in my life. I had an old boss who called me “Adam Mac!” all the time, like echoing down the hallways loud. But A Mac is never something I’ve been called.

    I didn’t exactly mean the story of why Dave called you that, but was more proposing that as the title of your forthcoming biography. Yeah, it sounded better inside my head. haha

    Kristen would like me to amend this to add a 6th one.

    6. I have been on the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, Austria.
