Making people and ideas findable
7 things about ME
I got tagged by Tahneesha Smith and Lisa Ralph. You can read Their 7 things here & here respectively. At first, I thought this was silly; however after reading other lists I think it is a cool idea.
1. My Priorities are GOD FIRST, WIFE SECOND, KIDS THIRD, WORK FOURTH, MINISTRY FIFTH and everything else kind of falls in line after that. I have been married for over 11 years to my beautiful wife Lisa and we have 3 Children ages 10, 8, 6, and recently got guardianship over a 16 yr old girl.
2. I have always been a Nerd, but I am very athletic. I can jump over cars... I have jumped over a JEEP before, I can run up walls up to 15 feet high. I went to State in Track & Field and ran a 49 second quarter Mile, I once Long Jumped 23'11" I used to be able to dunk a basketball from the Dotted Line inner circle ( could touch the Rim with my Elbows) & I am in the Babe Ruth Hall of Fame for batting 16 for 18 in the State Tournament and Pitching a Shutout against Columbus After playing 5 games in a Row.
3. I love FOOD. 3.(a) I once ate 10 ( thats right TEN) quarter pounder with cheese burgers in one sitting, along with a pack of "Grimace" cookies, a Shake, and a Large Dr. Pepper that I refilled 4 times and a Large Fry after a baseball tournament in Brazil Indiana. 3.(b). I can eat steak any time of day for any reason... I just love it.
4. I have my own businesses... all start with the name CATALIST ( intentionally mis-spelled) one of them As a Broker, I work with Hundreds of Insurance companies to sell Life, Health, Disability, Dental, Vision Insurance and Retirement Plans using Annuity Products(Shameless Self Promotion)
5. I Designed my Own Home and built it at Age 19 and moved in at Age 20. I am now 30. . I love Design and Build projects ( my fave toys as kid were Lego's, Erector Sets, & anything that said "Assembly Required".
6. My Right Leg is almost an Inch shorter than my left leg ... I Had knee surgery at 13 and didn't know that the growth plates were affected until age 26. Then my back problems led my chiropractor to find out that is was my legs that caused most of the problems... Sheesh. I never knew they were off that much.
7.(a) -- I HATE: Snakes, Ankle Injuries, Liars, Drugs & Alcohol, Apathy, Rudeness, Hypocrisy, SOCIALISM, Secular Humanism, Divorce, Abortion, Murder, Rotten Food, Technical Difficulties, Error Messages, War, Gambling, Scams, False Advertising, the fine print, Mean Dogs, Dishonesty, Gratuitous Cursing and Scenes in Movies, Poverty, Child Molesters and Rapists, The BANKS & their "taxes" on the poor, Mortgages ( Latin for "Death Grip"), Debt in General, Snobby Attitudes / haughtiness, Terrorists, the wiles of Satan & his Minions.
7.(b) -- I LOVE: helping people, Children, babies faces, Kittens, New Socks and Underwear, clothes just out of the Dryer, Sand in my toes, Cuddling, Watching movies with friends and Family, Brain Teasers, Sports, Impressive Feats, Nice People, TRUTH, Honesty, Steak ( in all forms), Food in General, Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwiches with Milk, Loyalty, Shiny Objects, My Family, Riding Motorized Vehicles, Paintball, DODGEBALL, Funny Jokes, Impression Comedy, 75 degree weather, Lazy Saturdays, A job well done, Solving Problems, Healing Relationships, Knowledge, Clean Environments, Building things, ART, Science, Math, HISTORY, ECONOMICS, Learning in General, Teaching others, AhHA moments, Piano Music, Hot Chocolate.. anything CHOCOLATE for that matter, New Things, Old Things, A good Sound System, Children Laughter, Letting Kids win, Piggy Back Rides, Going Faster, Friendly Animals, making people laugh, I LOVE this country and THANK GOD for every MAN & WOMAN who sacrifices their life and limb to defend its FREEDOM and LIBERTY, and Finally I LOVE Jesus and what HE did for Me on the Cross.
7 (c) I believe that our Senior Citizens are an Untapped Resource of WISDOM and EXPERIENCE that few people appreciate and take time to learn from. I believe you don't really start getting good and knowing anything until you are like "50".
