JollyBlogger Tagged Me

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

t the risk of allowing this blog to devolve into a personal, warm and fuzzy, “Here’s where I am today” kind of blog, I’m actually going to take the challenge recently extended to me by David Wayne, aka the JollyBlogger. David’s one of my “silent readers”, those people who make you feel good about your blog because they’ve linked to you and added you to their Bloglines, and yet they never leave comments. However, since David’s such a nice guy and asked so politely, I’ll accept his invitation to reveal some things about myself! (Notice how subtly I slide some guilt David’s way…hehe)

All seriousness aside, here are the questions that David has passed on. He called it “Five(ish) Things I’d Like to Know About You” and you’ll see very soon why he said “Five(ish)”:

0) What’s your name and website URL? (optional, of course)

Hi, my name is Steve Sensenig, and I’m addicted to blogging. (Hi, Steve!) My website URL is…well, which one would you like? Let’s see, this blog is http://www.theologicalmusingsblog.com. My music site is http://www.worshipkeys.com. My homeschool blog (very infrequently updated) is http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pianosteve. I have a xanga that I hardly ever update, too, but which is reserved usually for much lighter things. That’s http://www.xanga.com/pianosteve. Happy now?

1) What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why? (two sentences max)

Hmmmm, I would say probably the current work I do accompanying music students at Appalachian State University. Hey, I get paid to play music. What could be more fun?

2) A. Name one thing you did in the past that you no longer do but wish you did? (one sentence max)
B. Name one thing you’ve always wanted to do but keep putting it off? (one sentence max)

A. Atkins diet. I lost about 40 pounds on it in about a year and a half. That was in 2003. Since then, I’ve gradually found 30 of the ones I lost. OK, so that was more than one sentence. Even my writing apparently needs to go on a diet!
B. Getting my pilot’s license.

3) A. What two things would you most like to learn or be better at, and why? (two sentences max)
B. If you could take a class/workshop/apprentice from anyone in the world living or dead, who would it be and what would you hope to learn? (two more sentences, max)

A. Golf, because it’s so much fun but I stink at it; and playing jazz, because it’s so much fun but I…well, maybe I’m not so bad, but I could be a lot better!
B. At the risk of just sounding like I am trying to impress you with my spiritual maturity (which I’m not, because I still have a ways to go), I would love to have been one of the disciples of Jesus when He lived here on the earth. What would I hope to learn? Answers to a lot of the questions I ask on this blog!

4) A. What three words might your best friends or family use to describe you?
B. Now list two more words you wish described you…

A. funny, sensitive, gentle
B. film composer (One of my dreams is to compose the music for a motion picture someday)
5) What are your top three passions? (can be current or past, work, hobbies, or causes– three sentences max)

My top three passions are: 1. Loving Jesus Christ and seeking more of Him in my life, 2. My lovely wife and our family, and 3. Music

6) Write–and answer–one more question that YOU would ask someone (with answer in three sentences max)

I’m really at a loss on this one. It would greatly depend on the person I was asking, so I think I’ll have to pass on this one. Sorry, David!

[Bonus: What is one question you wish people would ask themselves?]

Are the things that I’m doing in my life moving me closer to Jesus Christ?

——————————————————————

Now, as these things go, I’m supposed to tag others with this. So, if you are interested in doing this, answer in a post on your own blog (if you have one), or in the comments below (if you don’t have a blog, or don’t wish to turn your own blog into a personal, warm and fuzzy, “Here’s where I am……..):
