So I’ve been tagged by Sunny. Here goes:

*Maybe I should…learn Spanish. I think it’d definitely come in handy on the mission field. I’d also like to learn to cook.

*I love the smell of…almost nothing. I have virtually no sense of smell. I like the smell of gasoline, I guess. Probably because it’s strong enough for me to smell it. I like to think this is some kind of superpower the Lord gave me since I’ve changed a couple thousand diapers in the last 4 years.

*People would say that I…I honestly have no idea what most people think of me. I’m sure some people think I’m a swell guy; and I know of several people who really aren’t fond of me at all.

*I don’t understand why…people think Will Ferrell is funny. I just don’t get it. (Although “I Need More Cowbell” may be my favorite SNL skit ever.)

*When I wake up in the morning…I pop right out of bed and attack the day. I didn’t used to be this way. I used to hit the snooze button several times before waking up. When I started working at Madison Academy, I had to wake up by about 6:15 every morning and somewhere along the way, I sort of lost the ability to sleep much past 7:00am. Two or three minutes after waking up, I’m thinking about what I need to get done that day.

*I lost my will power to…keep my 2007 New Year’s Resolution to not eat fried foods and not drink Mountain Dew. I think I made it a couple of months before caving in.

*Life is wonderful with…the abiding peace of God. I know that even in the worst of circumstances, He is faithful and ever present. He promises to never leave me nor forsake me. And I believe Him.

*My past made me…realize that God never lets go. And He is more gracious than I was led to believe.

*I get annoyed when…people misunderstand me. Also when people read over my shoulder.

*Parties are not…a lot of fun for an introvert like me. I prefer smaller gatherings.

*Dogs are…my favorite! (I miss our cocker spaniel, Andy.)

*Cats are…arrogant.

*Tomorrow I am going to…attempt to drive 6 hours to the beach with three kids in tow. Pray for me.

*I have a low tolerance for…chick flicks. And meatloaf. And double standards.

*I’m totally terrified of…I don’t really like to talk about the things I’m afraid of. So I’m not answering this one.

*I wonder why I thought my life would be…I’ve never had any assumptions about how my life was going to be, so I don’t know how to answer this one either.

*Never in my life…have I been as content as I am right now.

*High school was something that…I really enjoyed. I had some great friends that made high school a blast. My only regret is that I didn’t take my faith as seriously then.

*When I’m nervous…I don’t really get nervous that much. On the weeks that I preach, I feel a shot of adrenaline just before I walk to the pulpit, which I guess helps combat nervousness.

*Take my advice…LOST is the best television show of all-time.

*Making my bed is…a myth.

*I’m almost always…reading.

*I’m addicted to…Mountain Dew. And books. Especially Bibles. Seriously, I have this thing for Bibles; I have them in all different translations, different sizes. NIV, ESV, TNIV, NASB, KJV, NRSV, NASB Update, CEV, NLT, The Message, Pocket Bibles, Study Bibles, Journaling Bibles, Thinline Bibles. I have some at my office at church, some at my home office, and I always have one or two in my bag. My thing now is I’m searching for a good TNIV / Message Parallel Bible. And anytime I’m at LifeWay or Barnes & Noble, I have to just walk through and see what Bibles they have.

*I want someone…to make fuel-efficient vehicles more affordable.

I’m supposed to tag someone else, so I’m tagging Lane.
