| 1) What's your favorite Scripture? Philippians 4:13...That verse expresses a lot to me: God's love, His value of me and His power that manifests itself in our lives in the name of and for the purpose of Jesus (not ours). 2) Who were your childhood heroes? I like to watch superheroes on TV and remember watching Batman, The Incredible Hulk and The Six Million Dollar Man. 3) If you could meet anyone from the Bible, who would it be and why? I would like to meet King David to talk to him about his relationship with the Lord...He had an awesome relationship with God especially in light of living under the Old Covenant. 4) What is a typical day in your life like? Busy, I get up just before 5am am and am at the gym by 5:30. I workout anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and fifteen minutes depending on the bodypart. I have my quiet time with the Lord after my workout but before work (so that I'm wide awake & have quality time). Right now, I'm still reading the Old Testament but sometimes read books by Christian authors. I go to work and work anywhere from 8-11 hours depending on the workload. It's a physical job outdoors so it gets me my cardio and helps me drink water (I live in Texas). After work, I spend an hour or two unwinding and am usually in bed between 10:30-11pm. The next day, I get up and do it all over again. 5) What Biblical figure do you most identify with & why? The early Peter; I am sincere about the Lord but feel my mouth gets out ahead of me sometimes. I know the Lord is faithful and will continue to bring out the best in me. 6) What trait do you like most about yourself? My sincerity. 7) What trait do you least like about yourself? Sometimes, I feel I complain too much. I believe the Lord is helping me work through this. 8) How have you been able to represent God in your sport? When I personal train or workout with others, I try to be a good witness and work where the Lord gives opportunity. I write a free newsletter using scripture to help people inside & outside the gym (available on my website, www.lildieselpowerwear.com). I also founded a group on Yahoo for drugfree bodybuilding (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/drugfreebodybuilding/). 9) If you could change one thing in your sport, what would it be? The exploitation that is commonplace in both the men & the women. I think we should all live more to the scripture that says, whatever you do, do all in the name of the Lord. 10) If you were to die today and go to heaven, what would you like to hear God say? "Well done, good & faithful servant!" |
