On Friday, my friend Shawn called me at the office. He called to ask me a church related question, but in our conversation mentioned that he had been reading my blog and was enjoying getting to know me better. I didn’t even know he and his wife Sherri knew that I had a blog, much less that they were reading it!
I started thinking about what he said on the phone. He said that he was learning a lot about me. I guess I do share a lot out here on the World Wide Web. Through this blog, you all have learned that I love the Wizard of Oz, music is my passion, I ABSOLUTELY believe in the power of prayer, I have lots of questions about Scripture, I love my family and friends more than words can express, I love the activities I am involved in, and a whole host of other things. After Shawn and I spoke, I asked myself the question, “What could I blog about that I wouldn’t mind people knowing about me that may surprise them?” A few things came to mind that I don't think most of you know about me. So here are 5 things about me that might surprise you!
1. I have a degree in Social Work from a VERY conservative Church of Christ University.
2. A good friend of mine and I are in the process of writing a book entitled “When you are Ready.”
3. I was offered a recording contract in the mid 90’s.
4. My favorite food (by far) is popcorn!
5. I love to write and won a poetry contest for writing “Psalm 151.”
Now it is your turn. Tell us something about you that we don’t already know. Remember, it is okay to share good things in your life, and things that you have achieved…All good things come from God… Give Him the glory!

Good ones Conni. Here are just a few of mine.
- I grew up on a small farm in a small town in rural east Texas. It was the good life. I still dream of farming/ranching.
- I had the best role models for parents in all respects.
- I have the best in-laws that anyone could hope for. Not just trying to score points here. :-)
- I attended Lubbock Christian University and played baseball.
- I represented my school in Washington D.C. at the National Youth Leaders Conference
- I am color blind. Be careful riding in a care with me as I may need some help with the lights.
- I love meatloaf and honey BBQ chicken wings from KFC. The wings are my superbowl snack of choice with a Dr. Pepper.
- I love to go fishing with family/friends.
