I Caved

I fought the 25 Facebook list as long as I could. Yesterday, in a moment of weakness, I caved. Not being completely sure who reads this blog, and realizing we may or may not be Facebook friends, I thought I'd share here.

1. I am uncomfortable around old ladies with lots of energy
2. I’m kind of uncomfortable around anyone with a lot of energy.
3. I tend to not be very energetic.
4. I’ve watched a lot more sports than I’ve played.
5. I hate losing.
6. Winning only gives relief. It isn’t even that great. I just hate losing.
7. My hatred for losing has caused me to cheat in Scrabble while playing my wife.
8. My wife gives me a lot of grace.
9. She also gives my boys a lot of grace.
10. My boys need a lot of grace, but they’re adorable and I love them.
11. My boys are three and two years old.
12. My older son is smarter than me.
13. My younger son is funnier and possibly stronger than me.
14. Both of them have more energy than me, but it doesn’t make me uncomfortable, just tired.
15. All I ever really wanted to be was a husband and a dad. The rest is just bonus.
16. Only having two goals probably hurt a lot of my ambition, but I am 2/2 on goals.
17. I hate goal-setting sessions.
18. I fear failure. I think that explains why I hate goals.
19. Fearing failure almost made me not get married.
20. My fiancée gave me a lot of grace.
21. I think the word grace best describes my life. God has been faithful to me by giving me grace in the gift of his son.
22. I have not wanted to do a random 25 list, but I’m bored.
23. I’m having a hard time thinking of three more things.
24. My favorite professor in college told me I wasn’t very strong at ending papers. He said I had warning track power when it came to writing.
25. I think he was right.

I wanted to add that I appreciate candy on a deeper level than most people, but this isn't a 26 list.
