A few items on your “bucket list” (things to do before you kick the bucket):   Learn to pilot aircraft and fly, own every issue of Amazing Spider-man, go to the Holy Land, go to Hawaii, go to Ireland & Scotland, see Alabama win another National Championship, give my wife and daughter whatever they want, weigh less that 200 pounds (working on that), ummm, live a long time.
Things have you done in life that you are most proud of: I try not to have a list of things I'm proud of, because if I do I'm not really looking forward, I'm looking back. Having said that, there are a few projects I've worked on (designs, videos, etc.) that I appreciate more than others.

When and where you became a Christian: In 1986 I was 9 years old at a revival at Riverbend Baptist Church in Whorten's Bend (Gadsden), Alabama. I believe the speaker at the Revival was Phil Winningham. I'm not even sure what subject was being preached at the time, I just knew it was time for me to make a public declaration of my faith. I was raised in a Christian family and atmosphere so I never went through a time of true denial of Christ, even though I've had my fair share of trials. I credit my Mom and Dad for raising me in an environment that nurtured and encouraged Truth seeking.

Solve these two riddles and e-mail me to tell me what I have... 

RIDDLE 1:
This thing all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays King, Ruins town
And beats high Mountain down.

What is greater than God, More powerful than the Devil, The poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it, you'll die?
