Trey did this. I assume I am tagged. So I will do it.
What I was doing 10 years ago:
Summer of 1998, I graduated. So technically, 10 years ago right now I was finishing up my English degree at FHU. That Fall I preached four months and prepared to move to Italy to spend two years there doing mission work.
Five things on my to do list for today:
- Work on Sunday Morning Sermon–sermon on the mount
- Work on Bible Class–I am just introducing a series taught by different brothers, on Jesus in the OT
- Work on Sunday evening sermon–The Aroma of Christ
- Work on Sunday Bulletin
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
- Work as a part-time missionary in Italy and write.
- Give and Give some more: missionaries, churches, schools, camps, anti-poverty, anti-homeless
- Become a full-time blogger
- Eat out way too much
Three of my bad habits:
- Carb craving
- wasting time on the internet (like posting memes)
- Cynicism/sarcasm
Five places I have lived:
- Kevil, KY (near Paducah)
- Henderson, TN
- Florence, Italy
- Rome, Italy
- Judsonia, AR
Five jobs I have had:
- Farming: tractors, spraying weeks, pulling/setting tobacco
- Grocery store, produce section
- Taco Hell, er, Bell Express on FHU campus
- Missionary
- Preacher

well, actually unless you are related to our landlord, then prob not. we went to school/work/church in searcy.
our neighbors were either other bible students (our landlord built houses for bible students on his prop) or our landlord and family, his son and mother lived nearby.

Hey, Brian -
Good post. How are y’all doing?! Is it spring yet where you are? It’s warm here, for sure.
I read your blog all the time, but haven’t commented in a while. You’ve lived in some interesting places. Enjoyed reading about it all.
Cheers & Blessings to you all today!

Thanks for the tag, that was fun. I didn’t have room, but yeah, we would never eat at home if I was a billionaire. Actually, we might eat at home but it would be takeout 3x a day!;)

Brian,
Unrelated, but fun; regarding your “bug” picture a week or so back. I’ve posted some pictures of honey bees that I took on the farm at http://tomsplace4photos.wordpress.com/
Take a look if you’d like. It’s not too bad.

Brian,
Italy? I didn’t know that. Wow, I need to get to know you better. So, how much of our Portuguese jibber-jabber do you understand when the Brazilians are around?
I might have to start watching what I say….

[...] Brian copied Trey who was tagged by someone I don’t know. Following Brians lead – I assume I am tagged. So I will do it as well – I am just slower. [...]
