@apanamamama challenged me to share a bit about myself.
- I have been pursuing my wife since I was a 6th grade boy in husky stone washed bugle boy jeans! I achieved this lofty goal my junior year (1995)! We have been dancing in the mine fields together for the last 22 years! Persistence pays off!!
- I am a cancer survivor. At the age of seven I was diagnosed with a rare cancer of the reproductive system. We are not suppose to be able to have kids according to medical science but YHVH had other plans!
The doctors told me I would most likely not lead a normal life,
not be able to play or be outside,
not be able to play sports or participate in strenuous activities...
- I have a wide array of musical interests. Hardcore, rap core, hip hop, classical finger style guitar, zydeco, traditional folk and many others that I cant think of! As a musician , I can appreciate many expressions of music!
- I have been singing/performing since 4th (1987-ish) grade! I started learning the guitar in 10th grade (1993) and have been leading worship in some capacity since then. Guitar happened by accident really. A very talented friend of mine, Carl Richardson, tossed me a chord chart in class with the word "SKANK" written all over it. I was intrigued so I went home and told my dad I wanted to learn to play. He gave me this old nylon stringed classical guitar that had been under his bed 20 years. The rest is history. Shortly thereafter, I started leading worship in our youth group and at the christian club in our high school! That's probably how I landed fact #1! haha bonus fact I led corporate worship for few years at my church with a Lip ring!
- I was a power lifter for a few years in high school! I was so little, I had to binge eat the week before the lifting meet just so I could get to 110 lbs, the minimum qualifying weight! I never won any awards but learned a lot about discipline!
What about you? Tell me 5 facts about you and tag me in the post! I would love to hear them. If you want to do this challenge, consider yourself tagged!
