Name Dropping...

Well since my last post, a couple of my close friends have joined the blog world and so it has inspired me to be better about keeping this up to date! One of these said bloggers (Ryan) has said that blogs should be updated at least 3 times a week...so that is what I am striving for...not sure if I have enough interesting stuff to say that often, but we can try it out! This has been on my mind lately...I am a name dropper and sometimes a celebrity stalker...not the big celebs, like Brad or Angelina or Britney...I wouldn't think it was that big of a deal to see them up close or have a conversation with them. No, the ones that I tend to drop that I am "friends" with...and by "friends", i usually mean I know someone who knows them or used to be in their circles, or someone I have met for all of 5 seconds and therefore think that I am their new best friend...here is a list of my most popular names dropped:

-Chris Tomlin - friends go to the church he used to lead worship for in Austin, Texas
-Shane Barnard - have met him multiple times and we are both Aggies :)
-Pat Green - met him also multiple times and his violin player went to college with me
-An unnamed bachelor from an unnamed reality show - I really am family friends with him...he was my first boyfriend :)
-The current American Gladiator winner - worked at Kanakuk with him and he is my cousin's best friend; so have spent some holidays together
-Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot) - met him at a conference this past year
-CJ Spiller (Clemson RB) - had dinner with him in Anderson, SC - apparently it was a big deal to those we were with!
-Multiple contestants on The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, Average Joe and Survivor have gone to high school or college with me.

So, I was thinking how cool it is that I have connected with all these "famous" people...but then it dawned on my how seldom I drop Jesus' name. Why is that? As my "friend" Chris Tomlin sings, the "famous one" is Christ. He is the biggest name I could drop anyway and I have a real relationship with Him and... He knows my name! So, I am going to work on name dropping His name for a while!
