1. At what age did you leave home & venture off on your own and/or what were the reason(s) you did?
I was 18. I was dying to get out on my own from the time I was 16,but just didn't have the money to do so. It's not that my parents were terrible people,I was just wanting my freedom to come & go and not be questioned or answer to anyone...just wanted my independence I guess.
2. Other than the Bible what is the most thought provoking and/or inspiring book you've ever read? (if you have more than one please feel free to list them all)
Two different books. The first was "The Artist's Way" By Julia Cameron. The second was "Destined To Reign" By Joseph Prince. Both books helped me learn a ton about myself & God,as well as my relationship to Him & how He sees me.
3. What is the one thing in your life that you have/own/love that would be the most difficult to get rid of if God told you he wanted you to?
I have already done this in some aspects. I guess because there's nothing material that I have any attachment to,it would have to be relationships or desires. Those are the most painful thing's to let go of.
4. What is/was the worst job you've ever worked at,or position you've held & how long did you work there?
The worst physically was for two summers I bailed hay for a farmer with some friends. For 8 hrs a day in a barn that was 120 degrees. Each summer we'd start the barn would be empty,and by the time we were finished , we couldn't even stand fully upright w/out hitting our heads on the ceiling. Imagine hay & straw in every part of yer body...sweaty,filthy,fast paced,back breaking work. It gave me a new respect for farmers & all that they do. Every. Single. Day. BUT...the worst job I ever had was working for Ponderosa Steakhouse. I worked there for 5 miserable years. Started as a dishwasher,to waiter,then onto cook. Horrible hours,crappy pay,no appreciation,dealing with children (by children I mean,adults who had the mentality of such) and a boss who went to my church,and was supposedly a Christian,but acted anything but one when there. I stayed because I got caught into the rut of thinking that I couldn't do anything else,so finally I left when I met a friend who got me a job where he worked making $3 more an hour to start & doing far less work.
5. If you were training for a fight,who would you rather have train you or in your corner to mentor you,and why?
A.) Micky (from Rocky)
B.) Mr. Miyagi (from The Karate Kid)
C.) Yoda (from The Empire Strikes Back)
I'd prob choose Yoda for the simple fact that eventually there would be lightsaber training involved. But I'd really like to drink some Saki with Mr. Miyagi. Micky from Rocky,just yells too much,and is so darn grumpy! Ain't no one got time for that.
