A Three Moment Interlude

Well, I've been memed. Thanks, Meeps :-)

I actually like getting these things - it means that somebody out there reads this blog and likes it.

This particular meme revolves around the number 3. I love the number 3. It reminds me of the trinity - the love of God the Father, my salvation through Jesus, and the empowering comfort of the Holy Spirit. What's not to love?

Also, 3 looks like a pregnant woman. Pregnant women glow with life and are also a reminder of the power of three - a father, a mother and a baby. Again, what's not to love?

So, on to the meme of threes!

Three screen names that you have had: TheWriteJerry, Kryten66, Kryten1966

Three things you like about yourself: My faith in God, my love for and devotion to my son, my humor

Three things you don't like about yourself: I can be oversensitive to criticism, I'm lazy, I'm a terrible housekeeper

Three parts of your heritage: Jewish, Jewish, Jewish (thank God that heritage is not destiny and I could be born again)

Three things that scare you: The violence in this world, the fact that there are people out there with no self-control or social conscience, My friends and family dying without coming to know Christ

Three of your everyday essentials: God, food & drink, personal contact with other people

Three things you are wearing right now: My old worn-out sneakers, my glasses, my favorite pair of underwear

Three of your favorite songs: I refuse to narrow it down to 3

Three new things you want to try in the next 12 months: writing a book that I have not first been commissioned to write (in other words, a book on spec), and I'm drawing a blank after that.


Three things I want in a relationship: God's blessing, unity of purpose, nurturing companionship

Two truths and a lie: I need to eat better, I need to exercise, the check is in the mail

Three things you can't do without: God (see "trinity" above)

Three places you want to go on vacation: Santa Monica, Hawaii, my nice soft bed

Three things you just can't do: sing well, play the guitar, draw comic books

Three kids' names: Ian, Melanie, Alexis

Three things you want to do before you die: See my parent's saved to Christ, see my friends saved to Christ, cure the human penchant for selfishness

Three Celeb crushes: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Love Hewitt

Now I'm supposed to pass this on, but I don't know who hasn't been tagged yet. I'll go with TheHappyHusband, Rey and Janet over at The Art of Getting By.
