Markology

Yet another meme... but I kinda liked this one. Thanks to Jenny Nichols for posting it to Facebook (or at least posting it where I could see it.)

Foodology

• Have you ever had anything removed from your body? my gall bladder
• What is the last heavy item you lifted? boxes full of food from our fridge when it went out last Friday night & we had to move it all over to the church so we didn't lose any of it

Bullcrapology

• If it were possible, would you want to know the day you're gonna die? No... though a general hint might be nice
• If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I don't think so...
• Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000? A thousand bucks is a lot of board games - I'd pull a Chad Carter & give it a go. (Extra points for those who can name what city Chad drank hot sauce in... and remember (ewww) what happened about 2 hours later.)
• Favorite holiday? Christmas
• Favorite day of the week? Friday (the first day of my "weekend"
• Favorite month? June is good (my birthday, Braeden's birthday, our wedding anniversary) but April is also good (Collin's birthday, the Gathering of Friends)

Currentology

• Missing someone? the Gulf Games crew
• Mood? I'm cheerful with a side of nervous (about getting everything done today)
• What are you listening to? Steve Taylor's "On the Fritz" album - yep, I got this album back in the summer of 1985 - it still rocks

• Do you smile often? yes - I'm married to Shari & have two wonderful boys... Collin told me a couple of days ago that he wants to grow up and be just like me - "A Chinese noodle." How can I not smile?!

Questionology

• Do you always answer your phone? Not always, but I feel badly about it
• It's four in the morning and you get a text message, who is it? Someone with a wrong number

• Can you do a pull up? One pull-up, sure. Don't look for more... and stop asking about my physical fitness - it's making me feel all 90 lb weakling. I'm just waiting for someone to come along and kick sand in my face and steal my girl.
• Does the future make you more nervous or excited? Excited... I love watching my boys grow up and mature, I pastor an amazing church and I'm more in love with Shari today than ever before. The future won't be perfect - but God will walk through it with me.
• Do you have any saved texts? Yes
• Ever been in a car wreck? Yes... all fender-benders.

• Have you ever been given roses? Nope... but I've definitely given roses.
• Current worry? Getting our family financially solid.
• Current hate right now? Pin the tail on the opposition politics - it took both political parties, an avalanche of greed & a national obsession with immediate gratification to get us to this point economically.
• Met someone who changed your life? Obvious answers: Jesus, Shari Jo & Braeden & Collin; Less obvious: Keith Monaghan, Connie Grosse, Tim Formby, Fred Raney, David Nunn, Chris Herndon, Jim & Sheridyn Williamson, David Foster... note: I don't mention anyone from the last five years 'cuz the whole "changed my life" thing needs time to figure out who really made an impact
• How did you bring in the New Year? staying up with Braeden to play board games... then waking up Collin to watch the ball drop on TV
• What song represents you? I pick three: "The Finish Line" (Steve Taylor), "Little Boy Heart Alive" (Andrew Peterson), "Hang My Head & Cry" (David Mullen)
• Name three people who might complete this? The usual suspects: Paul & Lorell... and someone else
• What were you doing at 12 AM last night? reading Kurt Busiek's "Astro City: The Dark Age, Vol. 1" - excellent graphic novel, btw
• What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? if I punch the snooze button, I get to lay here for an extra 7 minutes...
