It’s been a while, so let’s see what I can dig up…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m reading a lot more books than I did a year or two ago, all nonfiction – some theology, some parenting, some historical. As a kid I loved both fiction and nonfiction. As an adult, I prefer to learn something when I read instead of just being entertained, although I certainly don’t find fault with those who love fiction.<\/li>\n
  2. A couple of weeks ago, I ran a mile in under seven minutes. That’s still pretty slow compared to some (the record is under 4 minutes), but for me that’s a huge accomplishment. Take that, asthma!<\/li>\n
  3. Speaking of asthma, I fear I have passed it on to Brenden. In the last couple of months, he’s done two ER visits and three urgent care visits due to breathing troubles. We now have a home nebulizer with which we give him preventative meds twice daily and albuterol as needed. Even though I didn’t choose to give him asthma, I still feel bad about it.<\/li>\n
  4. The older I get, the more postmodern my spiritual views become.<\/li>\n
  5. Except for a sip of wine as a kid, which I hated, I didn’t drink at all until my 21st birthday. My first real drink was an Ultimate Mudslide at TGI Friday’s in Waco. Good stuff right there. <\/li>\n
  6. I support a soda tax.<\/li>\n
  7. I’ve gone to Irving Bible Church since 2001 and still am not officially a member. I don’t see the point of church membership. IBC doesn’t seem to care, either.<\/li>\n
  8. I started shaving my armpits like a swimmer. It helps me smell better, especially after I work out. Men, you should try it. Ladies, if you don’t already, it’s time.<\/li>\n
  9. My first kiss happened at age 15, right before my 16th birthday, with a girl I knew from church. She was a good kisser. That helped prolong our doomed relationship.<\/li>\n
  10. I find it disturbing that during our bedtime prayer, Brenden consistently wants to thank God for McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
