This Past Sunday we started our new series Identity Theft with Part 1: The Comparison Game. As part of this to help us quit comparing we encouraged people to make a “Who I’m Not” List. In case if you needed some help getting started here’s the one that I shared:
- I’m not a good athlete, I’m mediocre at best.
- I’m not handy.
- I’m not the “mature parent”.
- I’m not without fear (specifically when it comes to snakes, sharks, and swimming when I can’t see the bottom.)
- I’m not able to tan without burning my skin off first.
- I’m not able to sit through a three hour movie unless if there are guns, explosions, and people dying.
- I’m not able to run more than 2 miles without my knee feeling like it’s going to explode.
- I’m not a good counselor.
- I’m not the super pastor who greets everyone, visits everyone, knows what’s going on in everyone’s lives.
- I’m not allergy-free (in fact I’m quite the opposite).
- I’m not able to dance well.
- I’m not tall.
- I’m not a singer.
- I’m not able to sit back and watch when things are not being done the best way they could be done.
- I’m not able to ever walk away from the Church.
- I’m not a skater
- I’m not “into nature”. Inside’s good for me.
- I’m not good at pool. (The game, not the swimming.)
- I’m not an infielder
- I’m not cool enough to pull off the hoodie under the sport coat look.
- I’m not a cat lover. Again, quite the opposite; No offense to those of you who like Satan’s pets.
I’m not good at making lists.
