25 Random Things About Me--a Facebook Exercise

1. I am competitive by nature, to a fault. I love winning, but I think I hate losing more than I love winning.
2. Make me think, and challenge me.
3. I am passionate about my faith in Jesus Christ.
4. I love my family with my whole heart--each one lights up my world in a completely different way. Heather challenges me and teaches me; Patricia is me all over, and the first person related by blood to me I ever saw; Rebekkah is fierce with love and life.
5. I am a sports nut--just about any sport, except soccer, but especially baseball.
6. I am the master of completely useless trivia, like phone numbers and baseball statistics. I mean really, what difference does it make in the world that George Foster in 1977 hit .320 with 52 hrs and 149 rbi, except to Mr. Foster?
7. GW Troubadours--jet lag in Luxembourg Gardens, Paris; singing at St. Sulpice; friends for life.
8. My bachelors degree is in political science--and yes, it really does help me be a better pastor.
9. My first full time job was as a proofreader at a DC law firm.
10. Theater and music were really my first loves. I'm a much better musician than an actor. What memories of the Sycamore Jr. High Theater where musicals happened, not to mention wheat paste and set construction and the Sundays of doom when production week began!
11. My knothole baseball nickname was Ozzie.
12. I loved childhood summer vacations to Salisbury, MA and Seabrook, NH.
13. I love roller coasters. Ask me sometime about Patricia's first time riding the Beast!
14. The most rewarding part about being a pastor is sharing life with people I love as my life's work.
15. I was adopted into my family.
16. When I was a small child, I would spin vinyl records in my hands and sing the songs.
17. I am a dog person, not a cat person. Growing up, we had 2 German Shepherds and a Golden Retriever.
18. My best friend from college and I were from high schools 40 miles apart in Ohio, and we went to school 500 miles away from home.
19. Damn proud! Need I say more?
20. Guinness.
21. Chinese Food. Spicy.
22. Conservative in thought, liberal in application.
23. Ideas have consequences. Choose carefully. Learn from history.
24. Indiana Jones is my hero, but Monty Python makes me laugh
25. Following Jesus is a great quest. Hold on for the ride!
