The author of one of my favorite blogs, Katherine, has tagged me for this meme. Here are the rules:
a. List these rules on your blog.
b. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
1. When I moved to Nebraska with my wife, I wasn't really that big of a college football fan. I enjoy football, sure, but mostly followed the NFL. So when I came here and was asked who "my team" was, I really didn't have an answer. My father always used to root for Notre Dame, so I threw this out as a reply after some hesitation. Never did I realize that this would brand me as a heretic in this state of "the Big Red."
2. I have a hunch that many Nebraskans secretly feel that Bo Pellini (the new Nebraska football coach) is the next coming of Jesus...or Tom Osborne. And they're probably ambivalent about which option they'd prefer.
3. "Managed care" is actually the corporate front for the coming of the antichrist. Don't ask how I know....
4. I minored in theology as an undergraduate.
5. My favorite religious writer/theologian is Abraham Joshua Heschel. I was profoundly moved by his book "God in Search of Man."
6. I have myself on a "behavior modification plan." If I go without eating fast food, I put that money into savings towards a new set of irons (for golf).
7. My wife and I are looking into having a new deck built, mostly out of fear that our current deck is contributing to high levels of arsenic in our boys' systems. Ooh, and I'd love to get one of those new water heaters that only heats the water when you need it (rather than keeping a big 'ol pot of water hot all day).

Steve, thanks for playing. I downloaded a podcast recently of Speaking of Faith" (NPR) with Krista Tippett. The subject was Abraham Joshua Heschel. Fascinating. Check it out if you can!
I love your behavior modification plan!
I have Heschel's books on the Prophets and on The Sabbath.
