Who is your hero, and why?
If it sounds cliche, may it be so for the Lord's glory. My hero is Jesus Christ. Because though He was spat upon, reviled, cursed, accused falsely, beaten, and put to death, like an innocent lamb, He uttered not a word and reconciled us with God by His blood. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

Tell us something funny or unique about yourself:
I also play guitar and although all my friends believe me to be hilarious, my wife wouldn't always agree. But I have a good story, quite embarrassing actually but not one I'm not open to not share. While working at the last dealership, there were some administrative changes made and we had a new general manager. I had the opportunity to meet him earlier in the week when I had to submit paperwork to the accounting department, but he did not visit our department until later in the week. That Friday morning when he decided to visit us at the shop, I just so happened to rip the back end of my pants when I knelt in the shop. So, there I was, with a blow out, and I see that in walks the new general manager. Rather than avoid confrontation, I welcomed it. I walked straight to his face with a smirk and said, "Of all days you could have come to visit us down here, you choose today when I rip my pants." I couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, there were no issues with customers taking a gander.

If you could change one thing in this world, what would that be and why?
If I could, I would uproot as many people as I could and transplant them along with myself the day Christ returns for us. Although it may seem an impossible task, I aim for this daily in my preparation for the Lord's return. I am also encouraged by the text that says, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Matthew 10:27 The pain people feel when death separates us from our loved ones is also something I wish I could change in this world. Specifically, it is not the pain that I wish I could change but the circumstance that we are separated from our loved ones as they are laid to rest until the coming of our Lord. I look forward to the new heavens and the new earth when the text found in Revelation 21:4 has come to fulfillment. That text reads, "And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
