Thanks to JR for reminding me of this old Medievel Personality Test.
Apparently, based on 8 questions, this describes me:
Your distinct personality, The Benevolent Ruler might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are the idealistic social dreamer. Your overriding goal is to solve the people problems of your world. You are a social reformer who wants everyone to be happy in a world that you can visualize. You are exceptionally perceptive about the woes and needs of humankind. You often have the understanding and skill to readily conceive and implement the solutions to your perceptions. On the positive side, you are creatively persuasive, charismatic and ideologically concerned. On the negative side, you may be unrealistically sentimental, scattered and impulsive, as well as deviously manipulative. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms.

So I have this Tivo deal. One of the things it has is this Season Pass thing which basically records shows the entire season long for you. You prioritize what you want it to record in case of a schedule conflict. I was looking at my Season Passes and I thought it was a good indicator of what our current favorite shows are. Some of these are Grace’s and some are mine. Anyhoo, here is our current Season Pass line-up:
24
Alias
CSI: Miami
Touching Evil
ER
Las Vegas
Monk
Significant Others
Wonderfalls (which has only recorded once because of schedule conflicts)
Reno 911
Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica
Interesting. I’m not gonna tell you which ones are Grace’s and which ones are mine. You’ll just have to wonder.
Help

I really need your help. I am starting a new series next week called “This or That.” Basically, the idea is “We think God is really concerned with THIS when he is really concerned about THAT. Anyhoo, I think it is a great idea, but I am having trouble narrowing the field on this one. So, what would you suggest? What are areas where we have a wrong view on what God is concerned about? I need 4 solid ideas (Mark is going to do one, which will make 5 weeks in the series).

So I have discovered the most amazing thing. It has to do with my now famous belt-buckle:
I have discovered I have the ability to switch out the picture with a different one. Right now, I have Jesus (who looks like Kid Rock) in there, but I am going to begin to have a little fun with this.
This is where I introduce The Great Belt Buckle Project. All you have to do is send me an image you think would look good on my belt and if I like it, I will wear it and put a picture up here. I am hoping to have a great Belt Buckle Gallery.

Melissa thinks I should explain the callgirl one a bit more. Here’s the scoop:
I was heading from where Katie and Eric were to where Jen and Eric were. I thought I knew the alley I was in and I turned onto a road I thought was familiar. Apparently not. After walking down a bit, I looked around I realized I was just inside the Red Light District. It is not as easy to tell during the day. I wasn’t sure which way to go to get out of there. So I thought I saw a map across the canal, so I headed over to find it was just a poster. I asked a woman there how to get back to The Dam. She told me and I said “Hey, I don’t recognize your accent, where are you from?” She told me and it wasn’t until later in the conversation that I found out what she did. She wasn’t dressed for work (or undressed as the case may be). Anyhoo, I headed out of there as soon as I could appropriately do so and that was that.
