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,

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

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.
