Pam of How God Messed Up My Religion and Andrew of Moved Mountains ‘tagged’ me in a blog game. (They tagged me because of Conversation at the Edge, but that’s on break so I’ll respond here)

I’m supposed to share five things you probably don’t know (except you probably do if you’re family members), then I ‘tag’ five other bloggers.

So here are my five things:

  1. I was really into italic calligraphy when I was growing up. I had my own pen set I used for it. I got this out to write my own wedding invitations.
  2. When I was 18 I got a job cleaning hotel rooms at Holiday Inn and was fired after 6 days 🙂 (evidently I had a ‘defeatist attitude’ – I think that was because I expressed concerns I had too many rooms to get cleaned in the time allotted)
  3. I met my husband because we were taking the same math course at University. The reason I got to know him was, I noticed he was much better at math than me so I used to go and ask him how to do the homework 🙂
  4. When I started secondary school at the age of 11 I was the shortest kid in the school.
  5. My parents have told me that when I was little I was taught a song which I sang “Cheese is bits of shine”. That was evidently how “Jesus bids us shine” sounded to my unchurched ears.

I’m tagging Hemant Mehta of Friendly Atheist, Paul Mayers of One for the road, Benjamin Ady of Oxymoronredundancyparadoxtrap, Ian Green of Forests of the Night and Ray Pritchard of Keep Believing Ministries.

  1. 5 things you for sure don’t know cuz I’m new ’round here:
    1. I’m a Vineyard pastor up in Appleton, WI
    2. I learned how to sing by listening to and mimicking BJ Thomas albums in the 70’s.
    3. I wish I enjoyed video games cuz it seems like nearly everyone under the age of 30 digs ’em.
    4. I love connecting with other women in ministry cuz they seem to understand me 😉
    5. My first kiss happened while sitting underneath a wobbly card table with our landlord’s son.

  2. Hi Amy,

    Thanks for your comment. You’re right – I didn’t know any of those things about you! 🙂

    Have you met Rose Swetman? She’s a Vineyard pastor too (in the Seattle area). I don’t know her well but what I know of her I really like. I have met some other neat women in ministry also.
