Secret Talents/Skills. I’m going to share a few of mine and feel free to share yours…

So tonight’s post is about Secret Talents/Skills. I’m going to share a few of mine and feel free to share yours either in comments on Facebook or on my page @ JesusIsRisen.org.  I suppose at that point they aren’t very secret anymore.  Oh well…!  The idea is to share something you’re interested in and good at that most people who know you, wouldn’t readily know.

First secret talent is wood working.  I’m not extremely excellent at it, but I’ve done my fair share growing up.  Whether it was helping make cabinets, cradles, a rabbit hutch, or furniture.  I’ve helped make it.  My parents were always pretty keen on letting us participate in someway.  Starting off with wood weights (ie sitting on the plywood so it didn’t move all over the place when they cut it). Later moving to planning and using of power tools (a router is my favorite).

Its this talent that inspired this post. My mom and I are replacing all of our junky old furniture and making our own living room set.  Its pretty sweet on paper and I’m pretty sure we’ll pull it off.  Not to mention the perks of being a guy who knows how to make furniture. When I get married my future fiance and I can spend some quality time together making furniture for our new place.  If you don’t get how that could be potentially romantic you’re not very creative :-p

Second secret talent is landscaping/gardening.  Yet another very useful skill.  Same story. Parents did a lot of it. Whether it was planting a veggie garden or tearing out a tree with a truck (that’s fun btw).  My parents included us and going into adulthood I’ve kept it up.  Its useful and its fun.

Third secret talent… singing. Yes. I can sing.  Very well actually.  I’m best at old hymns but can sing quite a few pop songs too. I don’t do it publicly though. Too nervous.

I had more but I suddenly got tired and don’t feel like sharing any others.  If you want to comment on this post please do!  Add your secret talents or skills!

  • Yahweh Will Accomplish What Concerns Me

    The upside, and a true blessing in all of this, is that it’s operable, with a really high success rate. The downside is that it’s a major invasive surgery that involves removing a tumor on or near nerves and the brain responsible for vital functions. The risk of complications is high enough to make me uncomfortable. While the risk of death is “less than 1 percent”, actually being on the receiving end of that, feels really high. Especially, when, for five years, you’re reminded by the now dormant name of a friend on your friend’s list who died on an operating table due to complications.

  • An Old Testament Defense Against Polygamy

    The New Testament writers don’t introduce this as new — they reiterate what marriage was designed for from the beginning: a picture of Christ’s singular, covenantal love for His Church (Eph. 5:22-33), as this article will show. Polygamy doesn’t just violate a command. It corrupts that picture.

    This argument is essential for understanding and refuting the heresy of so-called “Christian” polygamists and polygynists who believe they are introducing a legitimate, alternate morality that is biblically defensible. It isn’t. It turns the theology of marriage on its head.

  • Life worth living

    For all of my love of language, one thing I struggle to get behind is the idea of “living like there is no tomorrow” or “live like you only have X amount of time to live.” I appreciate the sentiment of not wasting time — but when I take the idea to its logical conclusion,…

  • Working With My Hands: A Man Who Is Autistic

    The neurodivergent community has created a sub-culture which praises, celebrates, and honors a lack of development and immaturity. Spend any amount of time in an active neurodivergent group and you’ll see varied discussions about someone’s “current hyperfixation” or listing of disabilities like scouting merit badges. Their identity has become the disability they argue isn’t a disability.

  • Autistic Identity

    Over the last year, I “self-identified” as autistic because, well, truth be told, autism explained my life history perfectly. All of the “just” excuses became neatly explained behind autism. In spite of this, and at great personal expense, I pushed for a formal diagnosis because I needed to know for sure.

  • Neurodivergent rejecting neurodiversity worldview

    Accepting that you are “neurodivergent” does not mean accepting the ideology of “neurodiversity.” One is a descriptive label. The other is a worldview.

    Used precisely, neurodivergent describes divergence from the most statistically typical neurological profile. It is a categorization — it says nothing about power, justice, or how human beings ought to relate to one another.
