Tagged: Ten Things About Me
My blogosphere-yet-soon-to-meet-in-real-life friend, Cindy Beall, tagged me two weeks ago.
It is sorta fresh on my brain thanks to another blogosphere friend, Crystal Renaud, who challenged us admitting our strengths. So already, I am in the mindset on how God created me uniquely.
I won’t take the easy route of redirecting people to my testimony because that would be way too easy. If you read my testimony, you essentially know who I am. There is no secret left to be revealed.
But what makes up the day-to-day Joe? How do my friends perceived me? How do strangers perceived me?
So in that, I pick 10 things to share about me. Some facts, some personal observations about myself and from friends.
- I am big and tall. 240lbs and standing around 6′5″.
- I don’t eat a lot of sweets. I can always do without them. I rather have a second helping of pot roast rather than to have dessert.
- I love food. I love all cuisines. I love to cook.
- I have too much hair (see insert). It is getting chopped back this Saturday at 9AM CT.
- I think I get stinky especially when it gets hot and Texas always has hot summers. My friends promise me that I am not stinky. It is not something I worry about but I definitely do ponder over it.
- One of those same friends describe me as new like the springtime. That is one of the best compliments ever.
- I am about to take singing lessons so I can technically sing well during worship services. Pray for my teacher. Seriously.
- As big of a geek as I am, I never buy any technology that has just hit the streets for the first time. I just like waiting until all the bugs are out of it.
- I am a social butterfly.
- When I am at work, I am always barefoot. I kick my shoes and socks off almost immediately.
So tag, you’re it:
Very nice. Thank you for sharing about yourself!
Ditto. Thanks for the top-10 list. Good stuff!
BTW, we’re polar opposites. I am all of 160… (my little sister can still beat me at arm wrestling). I LOVE SWEETS. I might even forgo the first helping of pot roast if the dessert is something I LOVE. I think I smell great; but my friends correct me will correct me ….so that’s common. One friend (jokingly?) described me as old like winter but he’s just 21 and calls me his mentor, which is a huge compliment. And I am SO NOT the social butterfly. In a sea of talking people, I will be standing by the punch bowl.
But I am taking voice lessons.
Turns out there’s a whole lotta notes!
Who knew?
Crazy! Song with notes!
My head reads chords and tabs like Math. That is the best way I can explain it.
wait, wait, wait…. you’re taking voice lessons so you can sing better in church? what, on worship team? or just in the crowd? cause brother, if you are talking about in the crowd…. don’t you dare waste your money on voice lessons. God does not care if you are royally tone-deaf-all He wants is your all.
Crystal: Ha! This much I know.
If I sing softly, I can sing a long long time. But I want to sing loud! But when I do, my voice gives out and starts to hurt.
Hence, I am taking lessons on just how to sing.
it’s cute how you think you stink. that made me smile
i’ll do the tag Sunday. and since i didn’t see the original tag i’ll just steal yours and do the 10 things. yes?
love you brother!!!
Tam: it’s cool by me.
love ya sis.
Dude, it sounds like we’ve got a couple of things in common. I’m a geek…I’m as new as the springtime (or at least I like to think of myself that way)…and I love kicking off my shoes!
Great blog!
Joe, I have so always loved your honesty!
I think being honest about who you are, faults and all makes you a bigger man than most.
And a true man of God. I am so glad there are guys like you livin in this world with me!
Sorry I havent been around in so long, I feel like I am so behind!!

Brad: Thank you!
Gretchin: I was telling a friend the other day. I have lived a life of lies and that was hell in the purest sense. I live my life out in truth in hopes to be blessed.
Guess what. It is nothing but.
I figured if I am transparent then the fire and the light of God will be shone the brightest.
