It's a Two Way Street

In Michelle's previous blog, she commented about things that gets someone excited or passionate. In the comments, Brent turned the tables on me for mine. I'm going to break it up into thought and action (with a few that overlap)

Thought:
Service
Efficiency - i.e. planning errands for least amount of driving/time usage. Stuff like that.
Risk analysis
Common sense - although I'm guilty of not using it at times.
Sucking it up - again, guilty of whining on occasion.
Proper grammar and spelling - petty, I know, but it irritates me.
Trivia

Activities:
Service
Physical activity - sand volleyball, skiing-water and snow, motorcycling, Sea-Doos with my friend Jeff, Bocce Ball, water parks, weightlifting(a little lacking on that of late). Pretty much anything that's not sitting still.
Computer games - the nerd in me can't be contained
Bridge- old person game, so I fit in. It is a lot of fun.

I'm sure there are some others. If anybody has made observations about things they think I've appeared passionate/excited about, let me know so I can update my list.

Justin.

While watching Good Morning America this morning I saw a commercial for Monopoly with electronic banking. At first, I thought, "What a neat idea", then I thought, "Wait, half the fun of Monopoly is fighting over who gets to be the banker!" Growing up I really wasn't a fan of the game, but if I was the banker, I loved it! There is just something about counting out all that "money" and making change for people. Needless to say, I do not plan to purchase this new Monoploy!

Lately, I have been thinking about a question Justin keeps asking me: "What makes you excited? What is your passion?" The sad thing is, I really don't know. There are many things I like and enjoy doing, but nothing sticks out above them all. Well, there is one thing that really irks me....lies, especially those that lead young people astray. So, I guess I have a passion for the truth, most importantly the truth about the freedom Christ gives us from sin. Last Friday, 20/20 did a segment on homosexuality that had me yelling at the TV. It really irritates me when the media tells people struggling with this that they have no choice but to give over to the feelings. I think what bothers me most is the thought that some teenager was watching this program and has now decided to live this lifestyle because some biased news program told him he would be unfulfilled in life if he didn't. GRRRRRRRRR!
