Today on FaceBook, an old post popped up from a decade ago . . . 25 random things about me. I'll share some of them here in a 🧵.
1. I wish that I had had the opportunity to meet Dan Fogelberg before he passed away some years ago . . . his music comforts me and makes me wistful and nostalgic, especially his poignant classic “Same Auld Lang Syne.” @DanFogelberg2
2. One of my favorite memories growing up – as funny as it may sound – was watching Georgia Championship Wrestling on Saturday afternoons with my little brother. @RicFlairNatrBoy
3. Caring for wounded combat veterans has changed my attitudes about war. #PTSD
4. think that if someone aspires to be a psychologist, they should receive as much of their own psychotherapy as they can possibly afford. #psychology @DrErinHallPsyD
5. If I live to be 100, I will be unable to repay the debt of gratitude I owe my wife, Michelle, who patiently accepts me and unfailingly supports me and who has been the source of so much joy and so much delight for nearly 30 years.
6. I love to whistle (I even won a “whistling contest” sponsored by a local radio station in high school) but I have been very self conscious about doing this ever since an obviously irritated elderly woman heard me whistling and asked me I had “swallowed some bird seed.”
7. As I grow older, I am realizing that developing intimate friendships is more elusive than it used to be – kids and work and other obligations take time and building close connections requires more energy and intentionality than it did in high school or college.
8. During the year that I wrestled in college, my nickname was “Mad Dog” – not because I was so ferocious but because I was so timid.
9. I think that church is not for perfect people and that Jesus tenderly welcomes those who are vulnerable, broken, and bruised.
10. My favorite TV detective is James Rockford.
