one chapter talked about risk and how overcoming risk makes for a great story. the wheels began to spin in my mind: what risks have i taken? what stories are memorable? here are a few things that came to mind... most of which my (or may not) be risky - but they are not what i would think of as normal... so thus maybe, perhaps they are good stories?
- Exploring and climbing into an abandoned barn - only to realize once inside i couldn't get out.
- sneaking out of billy's grandparents house by climbing out second story window - trying rope to bed
- Seeing George Brett play baseball up close and personal.
- riding around in the trunk of a car all night - returning to campus - only to go back out and drive all night around Lexington, KY with Jay Pope.
- Midnight impromptu dance party with friends in a field off the highway, as These Are the Days by 10,000 Maniacs played on the car stereo.
- Driving west and attending film school in Los Angeles.
- Successfully creating, pitching and producing a tv show.
- leaping into a new profession as Youth Director.
- Driving 6 hours to 'see about a girl'... a year and a half later, marrying that girl.
- My wife and i taking up running.
- Jen taking me to an Explosions in the Sky concert in ghetto Cleveland
- Taking the youth group on many trips and adventures: retreats, mission trips and the like.
- going with my parents on a makeshift family history tour - traveling to Randolph, NY + Crestline, Ohio and many places in between, interviewing people and videotaping the entire event.
- Family vacations @ Lakeside.
- Starting our own photography business.
