My List II

If you are new to my blog or if you are seasoned veteran - I have only done a “My List” once. The title is cheesy - so if you can come up with something better… enlighten me. Last time - I made of a list of fictional characters that I would like to meet. Today - I am going to list the top five things I am excited about at this very moment.

1. Last night at LINC - a girl raised her hand saying that she accepted Christ. Freaking Awesome. This is why I am here right? I want to see students a) meet Jesus and b) fall in love with who he is. In case you are keeping count - that is two down. 18 to go.
2. I am downloading a free version of Adobe Photoshop. We are planning on buying it - but I want to try it out first. I feel like I am behind on the times - but I am excited to finally get my shot at editing photos.
3. Duke lost last night. If you keeping score - that is two losses in a row. That makes me very excited. I am so pumped at the thought of those “Dukies” losing. I hate Duke. I know that Christians shouldn’t hate - but I hate Duke.
4. American Idol results and LOST are both on tonight. Laura Beth and I have been enjoying American Idol over the past two nights - but LOST is coming on. I am so pumped. I know that my mind is just going to be blown. As for “Idol” - I don’t have a horse yet. Go LOST.
5. Lastly - I am very pumped about what God is doing at Freedom. I know that God is going to bless our ministry beyond belief. He is able to do anything that we can ask or imagine. I can imagine a lot of lives being changed through experiencing the amazing love of Jesus Christ. With Jesus - it can happen.

God is good. What can I say? That is what I am pumped about - what about you? What are you excited about?

My List

Last night - I was in the bed and I was thinking about fictional characters that I would like to meet (if they were real).  And so I give you the my list of top five fictional characters that I would like to meet.

1. Luigi.  For some reason - I have always thought that he was the better Mario brother.   First off - I could be wrong, but I think his last name is Mario (you know - the Mario brothers).  So then - Mario’s real name would be Mario Mario.  If that isn’t grounds to not like someone - I don’t know what is.  Luigi was always the better brother (in my eyes) and yet he was always in the background.  Mario got all the love.  So Luigi is atop my list of fictional characters I would like to meet.
2. Ender Wiggin.  As you may or may not know - I have been reading Orson Scott Card’s books lately.  He is a science fiction author and he has written a saga about a boy-genius named Andrew “Ender” Wiggin.  He is an amazing character.  He is loved and trusted by everyone he meets.  He is a true leader.  I think I could learn a lot from him (like how to destroy a fleet of attacking aliens).
3. Sawyer.  LOST is by far the greatest show to ever appear on a television set.  The writers and creators of LOST are in a league of their own.  That being said - my favorite character is Sawyer.  He is rough around the edges - but he is by far the funniest survivor of Flight 815.  He is a bad boy and I really think that we would get along.  Sawyer is the man.
4. Mister Ed.  I mean c’mon - it is a talking horse.  How can you get any better than a talking horse?
5. Cyrano de Bergerac.  This is the big nosed guy who knew how to “woo” the ladies.  I think I would try to pick up some pointers on how to “woo” my wife.  Sometimes I just don’t know the things to say.  I feel like Cyrano could hook me up with some good lines.

If you could meet and sit down for lunch with a fictional character - who would it be?
