DID YOU KNOW??

I thought this would be a fun post. The following are some things you just might not know about me. Here goes:

10 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME:

1. My birthmark is on my face.
2. I've never had a Starbucks...seriously.
3. I have a left shoulder injury from a car accident.
4. I hate math. Yes, I can do the simple math...you know, like 2 + 2 = 5, but that harder stuff...forget it!
5. I have been spelunking...with bats!
6. I was on a trip to Indianapolis to hang out with college friends and ended up in New Castle. Even saw signs for Richmond. After turning around, made my way home via Spencer. (check out Indiana map sometime)
7. I have seen Pete Sampras play tennis...in person.
8. Back in the day, I thought Scott Baio was "all that"! (those were some "Happy Days")
9. I was at the I.U. basketball game when Bob Knight threw the chair across the floor.
10. I am in a college tennis team picture that is on display in the Assembly Hall in Bloomington. (I've been told that there's also one in a Steak 'n Shake restaurant in B-town as well...have never seen it, just have heard about it.)

I know for those of you that are regulars at Starbucks are probably shocked that I've never had one. I always have good intentions. And someday, yes, I will get my french vanilla cappuccino. As far as #6 goes, let's just say that by the time the evening was over, my dad had called every cop and state trooper to send them out looking for me. Amazingly, as lost as I was, I found my way home. I still get teased about that to this day.

P.S. Matt, YOU are "all that"! Forget Scott Baio...(I'm glad you don't wear cross necklaces or red bandanas!)

Haha - I knew those things too. And YES, we had called all law enforcements between Brazil & Indpls. (not knowing you were still East of Indpls). We were very thankful to see you walk in the door!

Funny! This was a great post. I, however, have only known you for a very short time and I think you're an amazing person! So glad I've gotten to know you a little. I have one for you - You probably don't know that my skirt fell to my ankles while walking down the hill to the caf at Ozark. Of course, I screamed and got a standing ovation when I walked through the doors of the caf! No joke. ~Andrea

when we go to KC you will get your Starbucks if I have to buy it!!!

In my favorite sport, tennis, it really is helpful to have a good serve. It could help you in winning more games. In the same way, life is a lot like that. We need to do our best in "serving" others. Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve. There are many ways to do this. Just maybe, in our service, God will use us "to win one more" for Him...
