If I could snap my fingers and change one thing about 2007 it would be ... Pats win SuperBowl, making the season 19-0!
In 2008 I plan to … learn the djembe, have a baby, translate the book of Genesis.
Right now I am reading … "being God's man... in leading a family" by Stephen Arterburn, "The Majesty of God in the Old Testament" by Walt Kaiser Jr., and "The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine" by Jaroslav Pelikan.
Most exotic place I have ever been is ... Puerto Escondido, Mexico; sunny beaches, few tourists, massive waves and excellent salsa!
If given the choice, the one thing I would never taste again would be … lima beans, they are squirmy, green and a bean.
If I were given all the needed talents and abilities, I would be the lead singer of … Aerosmith. His tongue is shorter than mine! =p
The one box set that I would take with me on a desert island to watch would be ... The Lord of the Rings.
What is the most memorable quote you have heard or read recently? “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars. As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people cannot expect to live more than twenty or thirty years, no man can be totally healthy, even if he just got a clean bill of health from the finest clinic in America. Strangely enough, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way the world is made." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in The American Dream

What is the most memorable quote you have heard or read recently? "I am trying to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." ~ C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity
