“Roger Mugs” started this particular meme that will make me post off-topic drivel on my blog.

I’ve been tagged by Bryon. He’s the one who for some reason insists on spelling his name wrong. Thou caluminous rough-hewn bugbear! Be sure to check out his blog.

There are three unimaginative questions I need to answer which follow.

Q1. If you were to be in ministry 10 years from now (whether you’re in ministry now or not) what would you like to be doing and where?

I’m a follower not a leader. If I were to do something cerebral I would like to do research, fact checking or the like for someone who is smarter than me, like some sort of scholar. I could learn from what I do and labor behind the scenes.

Although I hesitate to mention it, intercessory prayer is an ongoing ministry if it would fall into that category and will be more so in ten years, God willing.

Otherwise I’ve always had an affection for street people. When in college I used to spend quite a bit of time with them. I felt more comfortable with them than with “normal” people, most of whom aren’t as normal as they present themselves to be.

Q2. If you could wake up tomorrow with a degree and all the learning that would have gone with it from any seminary which one would you pick and why?

Westminster Theological Seminary or Southern Baptist Theological Seminary although I don’t know a whole lot about them book learnin’ places. I’m an autodidact.

Q3. What’s your poison: donuts, beer, wine, pizza, chocolate, Twinkies, key-lime pie?

I roast my own coffee and am able to buy some of the best beans in the world. It’s great to drink a beverage that has more flavor components than wine and it only costs a few cents a serving. I worship God when drinking coffee because of my amazement at the multitude of flavors He put in the various coffees that can be tasted if roasted well, is fresh and isn’t burnt like Starbucks. Ironically because of a low tolerance for caffeine I can’t drink very much.

I don’t consider that poison though.

1 Timothy 4:4
For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

Although you could argue that God didn’t create Twinkies.

I tag Michael, Shaun Tabatt and of course John MacArthur (again) who is my model curmudgeon who can denigrate three groups of people within the first quarter of a sermon in one fell swoop.
