"The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.

Questions after the jump . . .
how did u meet number 3:
Um, she came out of my wife's uterus.
What would you do if you had never met 1?
Wow. Realistically, I'd probably be married to someone else and have different kids. Basically my life would be totally different. I do not prefer that alternative.
What would you do if 6 and 2 were going out?
Chris T. would be killed in a very excruiating way, as Macy is my 5 year old daughter.
Have you ever seen 4 cry?
No
How do you know 8?
He's my brother.
What do you think about 7?
He is a very close friend, the man I consider my mentor, and he and his ministry essentially rescued me when I was about to give up on both ministry and church altogether. If he asked me to fall on my sword for him, I would.
What would you do if 5 confessed they loved you?
He tells me he loves me all the time.
Fact about number 9?
He is wishy-washy when it comes to giving the other team controversial calls in flag football. Also, he is a chick.
Who is 4 going out with?
His wife.
What's 2 do for a livin?
Go to kindergarten.
Would you ever live with 8?
Sure. I did for about 17 years.
Where does 7 live?
Houston
what do you think about #3?
She's adorable, hilarious, and a blessing. She's also wild.
What do you love about number 1?
Just one thing? That's hard. She has a unique and radiant charm, something about her personality and her outlook on life, that I've never seen in any other woman ever.
Is 2 Your best friend?
No.
Do you miss number 3?
Well, she's upstairs taking a nap right now, so sure.

How did you meet number 3?
I think at a church camp. I remember riding in a van on the way to camp with De and Rod chatting it up in the back seat.
What would you do if you had never met 1?
I don't know. Just got married to her, so I guess I'd be single. Don't know what I'd do. I'm pretty sure that God would take care of me, though.
What would you do if 6 and 2 were going out?
I'd probably ask Stroke and Tyson why they were engaging in an extra-marital homosexual affair and how they handled their long-distance relationship.
Have you ever seen 4 cry?
Not that I can remember.
How do you know 8?
Met him at church.
What do you think about 7?
Matt is crizzle. Hilarious, Godly, extremely gifted and border-line artistic genius.
What would you do if 5 confessed they loved you?
Say, "I love you, too."
Fact about 9?
He plays the diggeri-doo. (Totally not how you spell that)
Who is 4 going out with?
His wife, Sterle.
What's 2 do for a livin?
He's a Associate Student Minister.
Would you ever live with 8?
I did, actually.
Where does 7 live?
North end of Seattle, WA
What do you think about 3?
He might be the most humble person I've ever met. He's someone I aspire to be like in many ways. Much respect, admiration and honor. He's also crazy fun to hang out with and talk to.
What do you love about 1?
Everything. She's a child of God, beautiful, smart, funny and she loves me. There's more, but I don't want to crash the site.
Is 2 your best friend?
Not counting 1, yes.
Do you miss number 3?
I guess. I'm sure I'll see him again soon :)

(did you get this off myspace? I've seen such things there...)
how did u meet number 3:
Our kids squabbled over who was going to open the door for us as we both were walking out of the immunization clinic at the Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital. Then the boys decided they liked each other so much that we better get together. She is my best, best friend and I thank God for her!
What would you do if you had never met 1?
I'd probably have married someone else - and I think I know who. But then, you can't be sure about stuff like that.
What would you do if 6 and 2 were going out?
Well Joshie is 3 and Leann is 40 and married... so I'd just call that a N/A
Have you ever seen 4 cry?
Yup. First time was when Reagan was shot. I flipped out completely. If my Mom is crying something is BAD wrong with the universe.
How do you know 8?
Met her at church in NC. Another treasured friend.
What do you think about 7?
She and her son are both gifts to our family. She patiently teaches my older two piano while her son teaches #3 violin.
What would you do if 5 confessed they loved you?
Tell him "Shut up. Quit Being Stupid" which is one way we say I love you to each other. He is my brother, after all.
Fact about number 9?
She is a lot of fun to email with and she has a thing for Excel spreadsheets.
Who is 4 going out with?
Better be my dad or I'm going to need extensive therapy.
What’s 2 do for a livin?
Homeschools four kids and trains to be a chef
Would you ever live with 8?
I have! She and her six kids lived with me for a few days last summer. So that was 2 moms, 8 boys, and 2 girls packed into a 3 bedroom house. We had a BLAST!
Where does 7 live?
Here in El Paso
what do you think about #3?
She is the best. She's fun. She's very organized and disciplined. She's a loving mom and wife. She truly has a servant's heart. She is a faithful and loving friend.
What do you love about number 1?
The way he giggles when I tickle him. It's like a big Pillsbury dough boy. And I love how incredibly competent he is at fixing stuff and all that. And he's REALLY easy on the eyes. And....
Is 2 Your best friend?
Close but not quite. I sure do love her though!
Do you miss number 3?
Now I'm crying. I miss her so much. The Marine Corps moved her to Quantico a year before moving me to El Paso. While I was still in NC we got to have a few visits, but since I've moved - nothing. We talk every week...but oh how we want to get together. (and we ALL get along - the husbands like each other, the boys love each other) Our fondest wish is that the Marine Corps will see fit to send my family to Quantico for our next duty station. In the meantime, we hope to steal one day out of the Christmas holidays.
