1. If you could have any other profession, what would it be? I would love to just be a world traveler and get paid for it.  I don't know how that would happen, but I would love to see as much of this world as I could.

2. If you could ask God one question right now, what would it be?  Am I doing what You want me to do?  I think I am, but just as soon as I think I've locked into what God's wanting me to do, He gives me a 180 and I'm doing something else.  Sometimes I don't know if I'm schizophernic.

3. What are you afraid of?  Being ostracized is the worst.

4.  What makes you laugh?  I make myself laugh by the stupid stuff I do.

5. What movie has impacted you the most and why?  Life is Beautiful.  Being a youth director at a church, much of what I do is to try and help the kids go through life and make sense of what life's all about.  You need time to laugh, and you need time to cry...and you need time to hurt.  This movie has all three.

6. What was your first job?  My first job ever was mowing yards.  When I got a little older, my job for the whole summer was to get down on my hands and knees and count wheat heads out in a field.  They wouldn't let me have a headphone set that played music because I'd lose count.  I made like $200 bucks that summer.  Man, there ought to be a law against that.  Some people should be going to jail, I'm pretty sure.

7. What do you value most in your friends?  Openness and trustworthiness.

8.  If you were president for a day, what would you do first?  I would take the Democrats and call a special dinner, get all the Republicans over there and just break bread.  I worked as an intern at Capital Hill for a summer, and it's just stupid how many divisions there are.

9. What is the most meaningful present you've ever received?  A little plastic ventriloquist doll.  I'd take that doll to bed and wake up in the middle of the night and do a little talk show with him.

10. What's the most relied upon spiritual truth in your life?  That God's in control, and I'm riding in the backseat.  Every time I try to do some backseat driving, I get thrown in the ditch.
