Anita Wilson

birthday: May 17,1975
funniest/most memorable birthday: I have two memorable b-days: One was my fifth birthday at McDonald's. That was the cool thing to do back then. They brought out this huge box shaped like a McD's building and it was full of toys (probably the equivilant of happy meal toys!) All the kids went wild trying to get into that box! Also, my 30th birthday was really neat. My husband TRIED to surprise me, but I found out about it like a month before. I still went along with the surprise. It was still special thought, because of all the people that came and my sister had decorated everything with old pictures of me (scary!!)

most embarrassing moment: In Jr.High, during lunch time, everyone (like the whole school!) would hang out in the parking lot after they ate. Well, one day, my mom had to come to school to tell me something and it was during lunch. All I remember was the crowd dividing, and my mom driving right through the middle, in our ORANGE van, hollering my name! I wanted to die!!!!
most influential person in your life (besides Jesus): Aaron- he has led me to an understanding and appreciation of good theology. Also, the BCLR pastors.
my blog: in due season

*Ok, I added the "orange van" detail because I thought she had told me that was part of the story. Come to find out, Anita's mom's crowd-parting cruiser wasn't the orange van at all, rather a long, white, crown victoria. BUT, they did have an orange van, which is embarrasing enough, eh?! ~asw

Michael Hamline

birthday: October 5th, 1977
funniest/most memorable birthday: During my 10th or 9th grade year I was attending boarding school. My parents traveled 4-5 hours from another country to take me into town for the weekend and celebrate my birthday. They were several hours late because of a fender bender they had with an army truck (In Kenya it doesn’t matter who really caused the wreck it is always the foreigner’s fault). Anyway, I began to believe they had forgot me and became very upset. My roommates kept trying to encourage me-It looks kind of funny to see a 15-16 year old guy cry. However, my parents did show up in the end and it was a good birthday weekend.

all time favorite books (other than Bible): Anything by John Piper (Don’t Waste Your Life, Future Grace, Desiring God); Evangelism & the Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer; Lord of the Rings.
a memorable spiritual experience in your life: Having the privilege of sharing the gospel one day while I was out working to try and start a fundraising card in Conway. It was great to see the Lord give me a desire to share with her and that the opportunity came about in the routine of life. It made me realize that we probably miss many opportunities to share God’s gospel because we’re either ignorant or don’t have concern for people’s eternity.
the most rewarding thing about your job/life: The opportunity that Bible Church has provided for deepening my study of Bible and theology; the chance to pass on what I am learning to others.
when I'm gone, what I want others to say about me: All that guy ever wanted to talk about was God and Jesus.
your favorite childhood pet & it's name: daschund named Fupi Tamu (Swahili for Short & Sweet). My sister and I played hide and seek with Fupi Tamu. My sister would hide and then I would slide Fupi on his back across the floor and run as fast as I could to hide. He would look for us and bark when he found us. Sadly a car didn’t see him one night and took his life.
most embarrassing moment: 10th grade when my family was having an evening out with my girlfriend’s family. Courtney was coming over to our hotel the next day to spend time with my family and my mom told her she would get to see me in my Speedo.

all time favorite books (other than Bible): The Weight of Glory; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?; To Kill a Mockingbird; Ragamuffin Gospel; and the Thesaurus
a memorable spiritual experience in your life: The first time I heard this prayer of Betty Stam's, a martyred missionary, my life changed. "Lord, I give up my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give up myself, my time, my all, utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt. Send me where Thou wilt. Work out Thy whole will in my life, at my cost, now and forever."
the most rewarding thing about your job: I guess it would be knowing that what I do has a direct effect on what chemicals people, animals, and the environment are exposed to, which is rewarding because I'm indirectly ensuring people's safety.
when I'm gone, what I want others to say about me: What a peach!
your favorite childhood pet & it's name: My Old English Sheepdog Bobby (I didn't name him.)
most embarrassing moment: I was at a friend's baseball game in college, and my hall mate Megan commented about one of the players being attractive, and then I pointed to the short stop and said, "Oh, but look at number 22. Wow." Then the lady behind me leaned up and said, "Number 22? Oh, honey, that's my son."
most influential person in your life (besides Jesus): As a whole, it would be my family, but which member of my family depends on the topic. For instance, if it involves cars, employment, theology, medicine, life plans, or home improvement, then it would be my dad. If it involves spending money, education, or traveling, then it would be my mom. My sister covers recipes, boys, daily life, and spastic moments. My brother Paul covers anything technological, 401K plans, and novelties. And my brother David assures me that everyone else is crazy, and I'm going to be ok.

your favorite childhood pet & it's name: Never had one. Never. But, an ex-girlfriend did buy me a cocker spaniel named "Pappy" when I was 20. I loved him. But he was mean and bit me several times (I still have scars) and bit Anita on the big toe once. She cried. Anita ran over him one day...and I cried and cried and cried...and said there would never be another. Three days later we got "PJ". He looked just like Pappy, but he was nice. He had epilepsy and had to be put to sleep. Both dogs would lap milk out of my mouth while I laid on my back. Cool.

Judy Crotts

birthday: 10-11-72
funniest/most memorable birthday: When Jeff & I were dating (this was 1996, I turned 24) he went to great lengths to get me this great present for my birthday. Back in my hometown of Schroon Lake, NY, there was an antique shop with a copy of Paradise Lost with cool illustrations by Gustave Dore that I really loved. I would go into the store to look at it, but not buy it (too expensive). So Jeff called my parents, had them get the little old man who owned the shop (but didn't open after Labor Day) to open the store and sell them the book, they shipped it to California. He took me out to a nice restaurant for dinner (cool view of LA) and gave me the book. When I didn't cry he was like "you didn't even cry or anything! I thought you would cry!" He said the same thing after our engagement...what does that mean do you suppose?

a memorable spiritual experience in your life: a chilly NY night in October, 1990, walking across a soccer field looking at the stars where I cried out for God to change my heart because I just couldn't do it. I believe that is when I was (not specifically ordo salutis) regenerated, given faith, made right before God, changed, saved. When I went into my dorm room my roommates all knew something had happened to me - but my theology at the time would have called it "re-dedication".

That was a really great day. Lisa just went home because I wasn't doing a science fair project on bees right then.
