Some friends of mine (Chris Smith and Kevin Davis) have recently posted blogs describing some aspects of themselves that others may not know. Both have very candid moments and give you an honest look at what it's like to be them. I don't find myself doing the same thing at this point, but on Wednesday night after church I did realize a couple things about myself.

First, I'm not an artist. The company we were with included a lot of musicians (some local and others with a grander scale). The conversation that were had throughout the evening and the manner in which they were spoken, along with the way the shindig went proved to me that I am in fact not an artist. This does not come from the place of pride, nor of joy. It is simply an observation.

My final observation was something different altogether. I'm coming to think that I have a bit of introvert in me. When I brought this up to my counselor friend Jack Wells, he kindly laughed in my face. I can understand how that happens. My job is designed for extroverts. You don't find too many pastors who care to keep to themselves and still do the people of their church a good service. What I find though, is that it is really easy to be extroverted when you are in a leadership position. You would hope I would be comfortable with 12-18 year olds and their parents. I am in the leadership position with them and it would stink to have a leader who was intimidated by you. At this happening on Wednesday though, I found myself shying away from conversation and most importantly speaking to avoid awkward pauses (which I don't often do). I think when it comes to my social life, I am not the social butterfly I may put on. Instead, I find myself desiring small groups of friends where much talking isn't involved. To be able to sit around each other for good periods of time and that be ok too. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy. Or maybe I'm hanging around Jack too much.
