I was tagged... forever ago.

This is a little late...


Kansas Bob tagged me, asked me to give “8 Random Facts About Myself” and gave me the following instructions:
  • I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
  • Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  • At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
All about a very uninteresting me:
    1. Food: As a corn-fed Nebraska girl, it will always be a steak for me. Nothing fancy, just a good cut of rib-eye or filet mignon and I'm happy. However, I can't cook one to save my life. But I'm great with chicken.
    2. Family: Love them more than anything. The best parents anyone could ask for and they just celebrated their 40th in January. I have two older brothers who also live here in the Husker state. One's a farmer (like my dad) and the other is a banker. I am single and will probably remain that way for the rest of my life. I have no desire to have kids. I have enough friends and family that do have children to know I would be a terrible mother.
    3. Exercise: I loved to go hiking back when I lived in Colorado, but that's obviously not anything I can do here. My friends and I love to walk downtown - if only to get a latte at the local coffee shop. I really love to play pickle ball. (It's like life-sized ping-pong on a tennis court. Our team kicked butt at the last Community Olympics.)
    4. Profession: My full-time job is Graphic Design at a lighting company. I also have a part-time job directing the worship ministry at my church.
    5. Obsession: Music. Any kind, at any time, no matter the style. I play it, sing it and listen it to it just about 24/7.
    6. Faith: My faith is in Christ alone. He is my light, my strength, my song. See? I told you about the music.
    7. Ailments: I haven't been to the doctor since I sprained my ankle while performing in a community theatre production of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". That was about 5 years ago. I can always tell when the weather's going to change as a result of it.
    8. Games: I have a very competitive family when it comes to playing Spades. It drives them nuts that I don't get as fired up as they do. My friends and I are Pitch players, and one friend in particular is so competitive it can get a little uncomfortable, yet still a lot of fun. And I love to watch football (that was born and bred in me of course.)
See? I told you it wasn't interesting.

I now hereby tag the following: Scott, Tony, Lindsey, Eric, VLR , Ariah, PTG, and Amy.

What is the 8th fact? The intro says 8 Random Facts, but then there are only 7? HMMMMMM! It is a conspiracy.

Nothing boring about someone who likes Jesus, worship, spades and filet mignon :)

The Dichotomy of Country Music

-

I spent Sunday afternoon in our family farm's shop, refinishing a dresser I found at a local antique store. I'm a farmer's daughter, yes, and certainly what some would call a "country girl". But most who know me are surprised when they find this out about me. Maybe it's because my vocabulary doesn't include double negatives, or maybe it's because I don't like country music. Who knows. I need to have music on when I refinish anything. It keeps me in the groove and passes the time a little faster. I realized I'd forgotten the ear buds to my ipod, so I was stuck with the shop radio, where I was only able to get one station to come in. Of course, it was a country music station. (After all, I do live in Nebraska, where throwing a rocks ensures you to hit a country music fan.) I can put up with said music for a time, so I left the dial where it was and kept it low in the background. Then my ears perked a little when this came on: I am weak and he is...

A Dilemma for Good Friday

-
In my effort to build a Good Friday service with the theme of "by his stripes we are healed", I have hit a dilemma. Here is my order of service: Video “Resurrection” Reading of Isaiah 53 Crimson (Vocal Solo) Reading: John 18: 1-18 #302 Lamb of God 1, 2 Reading John 18: 19-40 #323 Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed 1, 2, 3, 5 Reading: John 19: 1-16 Love Song (Vocal Solo) Reading John 19: 17-42 #324 When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 1, 3, 4 Video “A Better Way” Cross Painting/Communion Prayer All of the readings have music in the background, mostly stuff from "The Passion" to create a mood of sorrow and awe at the same time. Both vocal solos are focused on Jesus very intentionally, as are the videos. For communion, my idea is to have a small bucket of paint sitting at the foot of the cross. As we all come forward for communion, we will have the chance to paint a stripe on the cross, to remind us of the price Jesus paid, the "stripes" if you will. During that ti...

Promise

Wednesday night on my way to church for my last praise team rehearsal, I accidentally took my usual route, forgetting that two weeks ago my usual exit was closed for construction. So instead of taking an alternate route I ended up having to drive about 4-5 miles out of my way. And as I turned the corner and drove down this strange road I realized why. I was overcome with emotion. ( That tends to happen when I'm driving. ) I had to pull over, pause, take a picture and let my heart be filled. I don't think I've ever been so scared and so worried about anything in my life as I am about moving to St. Louis, starting a new job and beginning my seminary education. I'm not having second thoughts; I'm not even worried that I might have made the wrong decision. I'm worried about how I will adjust, and how I will make a new and completely different life for myself. I will be desperate for my home, my friends, my family and the comfort my current life provides. I am worrie...
