Previous Flux Experience: First timer!

Do you have a favorite Bible character?
I would have to say Jesus because he was a great teacher.

Are you blessed?
Yes, I am blessed. I know what I want out of this life, I see my path before me and there is a sense of peace in that. How I stay on that path, well that’s the challenge…

If you were wrestling an angel, what moves would you use?
I don’t know any wrestling moves, but I think I would just hold on tight…wait, if I’m wrestling an angel does that mean it’s the end of the world…that changes everything!

What would you do for more life?
Frankly, I wouldn’t…

What’s the weirdest thing in your parents’ attic?
My dad has a plaster face of George C. Scott that was taken to make a mold for scars for the movie “Firestarter” that was filmed in my hometown.

What is your prior experience with the Old Testament?
Ummm, none.

If you believe in a deity or deities, what kind do you believe in?
I don’t believe in one supreme being…too many religions, they can’t all be wrong except for one…I believe in dark matter.

Anything else coming up for you that Flux readers should know about?
I’m training to run a half marathon! It goes along with my philosophy of life, when you want something just get out there and do it…running is the easiest thing to do, just put one foot in front of the other.
