A David Letterman Style Top Ten List

Do you remember David Letterman’s Top 10 Lists?  They were always my favorite part of his show.

My favorite part of blogging is the community I get to experience here.  Even if the relationships stay on the inter webs, I get to meet fellow writers and readers from all over the world.  Without this technology, that camaraderie could not happen.  Therefore, even though I write about Jesus stuff, I never want my posts to be sermons.  I don’t want to preach while you listen.  Trust me, no one wants to join that church!  I hope and pray for dialogue.  I share my ideas so I can hear yours.  I want to know when you agree or disagree (not gonna lie, that one can sometimes hurt – depending on HOW you disagree.  In other words, be NICE).  I want us to learn from each other.  Reading your comments brings me a ton-load of joy and food for thought (this is the kind of food I need to be consuming these days as the middle-aged spread keeps getting wider).

I try to be forthcoming and as transparent as my relationships with others and the prompting of the Holy Spirit allows while I put fingers to keyboard, so unless this is your first time reading (WELCOME!) you already know quite a bit about me.  But in the interest of continued connection,

I racked my brain to come up with some things you might find interesting about me that I haven’t shared here before.

 And I also have an assignment for you.  But first,

The David Letterman Style Top 10 List of Things you may not know about me:

A David Letterman Style Top 10 List

  1.  I had a cyst the size of a lemon in the roof of my mouth and had no idea.
  2. My husband and I were once both fired from our jobs for “illegally” dating each other.
  3. I still like to cuddle with a stuffed animal when I sleep, but a pillow will suffice.
  4. I feel compelled to finish reading a book even when I don’t like it.
  5. The cruise control in my car (that I’ve had for 5 years) remains a mystery to me and I have no real desire to learn to use it.
  6. I met David Hasselhoff and posed with his life-sized cardboard cut out (in his Baywatch trunks) at his suggestion while he took a picture.
  7. Procrastination is not a concept I have familiarized myself with.  I seem incapable of it.
  8. I hate watermelon, but like watermelon candy.  I love fresh cherries, but hate cherry-flavored candy.
  9. My first non-Christian concert was Michael Damian of “The Young and the Restless” fame.  “Rock On” was his only hit song.
  10. As a yoga instructor, my addiction to Sonic Route 44’s is shameful!

Now for your assignment:  Part 1 – Let me know in the comments which of these interests you the most.  If you find it funny or fascinating or surprising, say so.  I may choose to write more about it at a later date!  Part 2 – Leave me one interesting or humorous thing about you that I don’t know.  Thanks in advance for playing.  I can’t wait to read them.  And thank you, especially, for being my community.  You will never know how much it means to me.

About Me

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here.
