During my early years, my family lived in a poor community in inner city Louisville, Kentucky. My parents had moved there initially to help with church planting and were able to develop and lead some community prayer groups in our immediate community. When I was 8, we moved to a house in Michigan out in the country on 5 acres. I loved it out in the country. There was space to ride my bike, run, play, and explore. Much of my childhood was spent entertaining myself in the fantasy of my own creativity. One of my favorite memories of childhood was the time and process I took to tame and train our barnyard cats, since we had quite a few wild cats around. This would take months at a time, and we eventually kept two as indoor/outdoor cats. My cat�s name was Tigger and my sister�s was Fluffy. I�ve been fond of cats ever since, which is why I love the two cats we have now, Autumn and Missy. I also like to read and collect rare and exotic stamps.
I was also lucky enough to have a friend my age who lived next door with whom I did a lot of things. It was in that friendship that other old hobbies were born like playing ping-pong, chess, wiffle-ball and softball. In my adult life my interests and hobbies have widened out. I currently have a weekly �guys� night out.� In the winter, we play racquetball, wally-ball, and sometimes ping-pong. In the summer, we play disc golf, real golf, and tennis. A friend of ours also just bought a boat and we�ve been enjoying going up to the lake and tubing with them this summer.
