Some people in my life think these are super lame. I think it's a fun way to get to know others, sort of like ice-breaker games. Here goes:
1. I have a slight hearing loss. Along with being born with CLP (warning: slightly graphic photo), I had over 10 sets of tubes put in my ears growing up.
2. Hence, I constantly say, "What?" or "say again?" Because I usually don't hear the first couple words unless you really get my attention. Please humor me.
3. I had never been to the Amway Arena in the 7 and a half years I've lived here---until Monday night. We left when the Magic were down by 20 with 5 mins left in the game.
4. I have around 60 long lost foster brothers out there somewhere. I've tried looking up a few on Facebook, never really found them. If I did, not sure I would friend any of them.
5. I once made the front page of section C in the newspaper.
6. I've spent 4 hrs in Europe--a layover in Amsterdam--we went to the Corrie Ten-Boom home.
Correction: See #9.
7. The remaining leg of the trip was to Tel Aviv for a week long tour of Israel.
8. This was the first time I had ever flown.
9. The plane out of Schipol airport had an engine fire so we landed back in and spent the night. Flew out the next morning on a 747.
10. I grew up camping and trout fishing in Michigan and I really miss it.
11. I've moved more times than I can count--around 15.
12. I didn't have a "real job" until I moved to Florida. Before that, I worked with family doing auto detailing and repair, building homes and home repair, and then worked at Reformed Bible College (now Kuyper) in the kitchen.
13. My first job after that was in the meat department at Publix. I put myself through a good part of Seminary this way.
14. I was not going to do this for fear of being labeled a narcissist, but if I am, then so are many of my friends on Facebook. What if we're not narcissists, we just want to be known?
15. I am almost always behind the times on stuff, including music. I love jam band stuff and many of my friends don't.
16. I just realized most of the people who fill these out are women. hmmmmmm...
17. I have quite cheap taste on food. I love Totino's pizzas, much to the annoyance of my wife.
18. I don't consider myself to be creative.
19. I can be self-deprecating at times.
20. I tend to drive "with purpose." I don't follow the rest of the sheep in the lane going 10 mph if there's a perfectly good lane going 30mph. If I-4 is a mess, I will take all sorts of back roads to get home. It's crazy. I'll have to map it out for you some time.

21. I've never taken a guitar lesson in my life, but I've been playing about 12 years. Most people think I'm good, I think I'm average (see #19). I do miss having a djembe.
22. My first concert of the "non-Christian" sort was Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge in Seattle, WA. I was 23 y.o. Flew from Orlando to there and spent the weekend hanging out with Clint. One of the best trips of my life.
23. My wife was the first girl I ever kissed.
24. Our son Aidan's birth was the craziest, most chaotic, and most glorious moment of my life. Second to our wedding.
25. I'm a helpless sinner saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
BONUS: 26. I LOVE my job at Grace and am so excited I get to be part of seeing people build relationship with Jesus.
