Now.... back to the topic at hand... How talented I am - does everyone really have time for this?

I can wiggle my ears.

Like Renda, I can pick up stuff with my toes.

I am very good at sharpening knives. All my buddies want me to sharpen their knives for them. I can get a knife sharp enough to pop hairs offyour arm with almost no effort.

I was blessed with good eyesight and reflexes and was a natural good shot even as a kid.

I'm not so good at riding broncs, but I can forevermore put the power steerring and power brakes on a young horse. I trained horses for reining competitions and was good at it.

I play lead guitar, base, saxophone, mandolin, harmonica, and used to play the baritone horn, but haven't picked one up in years.

I also paint. Maybe I can post some pictures of my painting at another time. I'm too busy today to take the pictures.

Sis Falla, we don't tell you often enough how much your prayers for our needs on this forum are appreciated. You are always there praying when every need is mentioned here--no matter how great or small the need is. You are truly a prayer warrior. If I could only choose one person on this forum to pray for me, it would be you-- because I know your prayers reach the throne.

Sis. Tina,

Thank you for your kind words. I learned to pray from those who have

gone before me. Things were much harder back in the days when we was

children. My grandparents went through the Great Depression, my parents

went through WWII, and we grew up in the aftermath of the two. I heard

them pray and I saw God answer. They depended on Him. His Word told

them they could trust Him. He wants us to trust in Him with all our hearts.

Praying is a PRIVILEGE! What a compassinate Friend we have in JESUS!

He healed because He was touched with the feeling of their infirmities.

Blessings,

Falla39

Bro. Scott,

Not only are you a peacemaker, you are much too kind!

Should be pretty good at what I do, I got a headstart on

most on this forum. My older brother and I are the "front"

ones now. Our elders have gone on ahead and we are next

in line to cross over. May all who come behind us find us

faithful!

Blessings,

You should. That seems to be a dying art. I only know of two in this area.... and both of them are pretty elderly.

In fact, easier than hacking the password protections on that file DA sent me this evening (sorry DA, couldn't resist).

The only reason this even comes up as a "talent" is because I go for a job interview at a local University, hopefully! They've been screening folks like crazy and wanted almost a half dozen Personal and Professional References. I don't even know that many people, let alone that many Refs! I passed the first round and now await the cull for the second round. And I really need this job... pray saints!

I thought about that anthropologist as one of the "Tell a about a job where you solved a problem..." kind of questions. Do I tell them that all I did was open the file in vEditor and read the header for the correct program? (It was an ancient version of Claris available for free download on the Apple web site). I emailed the program to the prof in Ohio and away he went. The db was a listing of the bones of hundreds of people found in a 20,000 year old graveyard in the Ukraine.

All of my "talents" involve long drawn out explanations like that, except my French Toast. My kids love my French Toast even though I can't even eat the stuff any more. I guess there's a long story there too...

I think I just figured out why you and BOOM were best friends ini Bible School. LOL
