I love people. I love music, books, writing. I love to watch sports (on TV is ok, but my years as a Dallas Maverick season ticket holder were the BEST!) I love spending time at home.
Music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC_u_q-iND0I love Nadia Turner, and eagerly await the release of her first CD. For those of you that missed Season 4 of American Idol, she was the BEST on the show. I enjoy all kinds of music, but in the past 3 years have really focused on Christian music. Love the NewsBoys, MercyMe, Jaci Velasquez, Nichole Nordeman, Rebecca St. James, Casting Crowns, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman. I am a devoted K-LOVE listener. When I was younger, I used to go to lots of concerts. Some of my favorites were Joan Armatrading, Tracy Chapman, Rickie Lee Jones, The Rippingtons, Phil Collins (got to meet him!), Shery Crow (still go to see her everytime she tours Texas). One of my greatest memories was singing with Diana Ross on the ill-fated "Return to Love" tour a couple years ago - ME, on the Jumbotron, doin' "Stop! In the Name of Love", hand gestures and all! I love MOTOWN, grew up in St. Louis listening to it. Currently on my MP3, I am listening to Daniel Powter, KT Tunstall, Billie Holiday, Carrie Underwood, MOTOWN, and all my Christian favorites... width="425" height="350" ..
Movies:
My all-time favorite movie is "Field of Dreams". I have watched "Sister Act" (1 and 2) over and over! Because of my grandson, I can recite "Finding Nemo". "The Passion of The Christ" was one of the most compelling movies I have ever witnessed.
Television:
I have become an American Idol addict!! Ever since I saw LaToya London and Fantasia on season 3.
Otherwise, its CNN, MSNBC, or ESPN Sports channels. LOVE those Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Cardinals, and Mizzou Tigers.
Books:
I try to spend some time each day studying "The Book", there is so much that Jesus wants me to know about Him, about life, and about love. Most of my other reading has to do with my job - medical journals, CME articles, etc. HoHum.
Heroes:
Jesus is my hero. He gave up his life for ME! I also admire folks like Martin Luther King, Jr. who lived their lives fighting for human rights. I admire my pastor for always reminding me what a lowly sinner I am, and challenging me to ask what more can I do for my Lord and Savior.
