Eight Random Things

Right, so today I've been tagged by Wayne Thomas Batson, author of The Door Within, Rise of the Wyrm Lord, and The Final Storm to post 8 random things about myself. Go check out his site, Enter the Door Within, after of course you check out some trivia about me.

Here goes!



The first rule of the game, however, is to post the rules of the game. Here they are:

  • Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  • At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.



  • Hmm
    , eight random things. . .


    1.) I nearly didn't survive infancy. Due to a lack of fatty tissue around my brain, (that's right, I was the opposite of 'fathead') when I would get a fever I would go into massive febrile seizures. Through prayer and also medication, that was finally brought under control .. but if I'm a lettle different now you know why!

    2.) I came to know Christ when I was four (knelt down in front of a t.v. during a Billy Graham crusade when he gave the call for people to come down and give their lives to Christ)

    3.) I have been in private school, public school, and also have been home schooled.

    4.)I lived for 3 months in Ireland working as a missionary

    5.)I collect signed books and to date have ones from authors Donald J. Sobel, Timothy Zahn, Wayne Thomas Batson, George Bryan Polivka, C.Peter Wagner, Nancy Winslow Parker and Howard Weinstein.

    6.) I am addicted to long sharp metal pointy things (mainly swords)

    7. I have a boating license and can pilot craft up to 40 feet.

    8.) I can read upside down and backwards.

    haha, now to go and tag as many as I can. I don't think I'll be able to tag eight bloggers but letsee. . .I think I'll tag

    Because there just aren't that many bloggers left that haven't been hit, I mean paintballed, I mean tagged.
