Who am I?

As I have been interviewing for new ministry positions around the country, I have been asked many questions. One of the hardest is, "Who are you?"
Sometimes its hard to express who you are. I've attempted to do that here. The picture is described as it pertains to "Who I am"

Who I am:

(Upper left to lower right)

·          The mission team to Budapest - Best trip ever.  Makes me cry every time I think about it.

·          Tradition meets gym shoes - It who I am!

·          The tower of St. Margaret’s Church - Stanford le Hope, England. The site of many great mission trips

·          The Sauerkraut Gang - Some of the best friends anyone could ask for.

·          Bacon! - ‘nuff said!

·          Cheese - Proof that we serve a good and benevolent God

·          A close up of me and my best friend, Donna.

·          Guitar - Nothing like worshipping with my guitar

·          Mom - At 82, she’s still more active than most people. She a good friend and my hero!

·          The Mission Never Ends - Our 2009 missions motto, and a great way to view the great commission.

·          I love teaching others. Nothing like a teenager with a power tool!

·          Jim Holland - My best friend, my brother, my accountability partner.

·          1969 GTO Convertible - Midnight blue with a white rag top and interior - My dream car.

·          Confrontation Point 2011 - The deck we built for Miss Tammy and her girls.

·          The grill - I’m a guy. I like fire. I grill!

·          Lauren and Rusty Twigg - My favorite wedding I ever officiated!

·          Our Christmas photo - love my wife and dogs!

·          The Shih Tzu - Reminds me of my first dog, Oscar.

·          Music - It has always been important to me. There is something special about singing and playing.

·          Crossword - I love a good puzzle!

·          Stained Glass - I love art. I love looking at things in new and different ways.

·          1966 Dodge Dart - My first car. I think I’d rather have that, than the GTO dream car.

·          Worship and Sunsets - It’s like saying “Goodnight” to Jesus. I love to worship - If it can be done in nature, all the more better!

·          Donna and snow - I love the joy in her eyes. She takes little for granted and appreciates the little things.

·          Budapest - What a beautiful city!  I love Hungary, Hungarian people & culture, even Hungarian food - Pass the Paprika!

·          Candles and Bible study - There’s something almost holy about reading the Bible by candlelight.

·          Fall Retreat 2011 - My last one. I love my kids!

·          I’ve learned to never take my self too seriously!

·          Westminster Abby - I love the UK and her people

·          Mountains - I love them despite my paralyzing fear of heights.  How can one look at a beautiful mountain range and not believe in God?

·          Archeology - I am an archeology and Egyptology buff.  I like to read about, watch shows about it and talk about it. Take me to the museum… Please!

·         M.C. Escher - Relativity - Up is down, down is up, out is in! So cool.
