I’ve been tagged (but I borrowed a slightly different version from another blog!).

4. Nuclear, Chemical, Biological Specialist – US Army
Four movies that made an impression in some way:
1. Fiddler on the Roof: the story of my husband’s ancestors
2. Harvest of Fire: an Amish shunning
3. Saint Maybe: forgiveness doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences
4. Rough Riders: a great way to learn history; why being rich and important is meaningless
Four places you have lived:

2. Germany – 10 years
3. Oregon – most of my growing up years
4. Colorado Springs

Four things your friends don't know about you:
(Hey! WYSIWYG) I don’t have many secrets, so you may already know these.
1. I used to always want to be a race car driver, until I decided that was irresponsible as a mom.
2. You would have to work VERY HARD to offend me these days.
3. I was a true "wallflower" growing up, almost never speaking to anyone, having very few friends. I didn't even begin to learn about being a friend until I taught a Bible study by Gary Smalley and John Trent about personalities about 10 years ago.
4. I memorized thousands of verses in the Bible BEFORE I became a Christian; but God's Word never returns to Him void, and He continually used those passages to bring my mind back to Him, and eventually my heart.

Awe...The question was, "4 things your friends DON'T know about you."
It ought to be 4 things that are true of you (not just ideas) and 4 things that you haven't shared before! (We know you can't see the E, and we know that you desire to stay out of the store.)
Do over! :)
Hence the WYSIWYG! I thought about this one for a week and this is the best I can come up with. I guess I could write about recently having a stroke and being sued this week, but I didn't want to sound like a complainer either!
Oh, BTW, Grafted Branch, how did like my job #2? I really had that job, too!
On second thought, I will think harder about baring my soul. In the meantime, just go fly a kite!
Revised 3/26
Thanks for the redo. Much better.
Thousands of verses -- really thousands?
An idea...you ought to post on what you learned about personalities during the study 10 years ago. That would be interesting reading.
Thanks! I try really hard not to exaggerate, but I figured "thousands" means two or more, and that surely fits. I was on a Bible Quiz team where I memorized most of the books of John and Acts. I also memorized 300 verses each year to go to summer camp. Then there were the weekly Sunday School verses, the Wednesday evening verses, the school verses - you get the point! I still have at least 2 of my Bibles with all those verses marked.
