Yep, no maternity/paternity issues here. :) That's one of the beautiful things about children -- seeing aspects of each parent, and even more distant relatives, together with the child's own unique personality, all mixed up together. Sort of like genealogy. Only different.

ah, now I get it. Yes, we are similar in lots of ways. I was surprised when Dad said how similar he and I are - but he had some good points too in terms of being good at figuring things out and fixing things, etc.

Who is the only person I know who is energized, not exhausted, by leading a church youth group? And not just leading it, but being so active I'm sure she wears the kids out rather than the other way around?

Actually, I'm sure if I thought about it I'd find other examples, but this one is too obvious.

I know one person whose scale is like yours, Jon!

Misquoting the only lines I like -- because they're applicable to so much of life -- from my only experience with a Woody Allen movie:

Q: How often to you get together with other people?

A1: All the time -- at least three times a week!

A2: Almost never -- only three times a week!

Yes, "Total Church" is the title, by Tim Chester and Steve Timmis.

I don't have as much interaction with others as I'd like. Though my scale is so far different from everyone I know that the low end of my scale is way off the charts for other people.

The book sounds interesting - is its title "Total Church" or is that just your blog post headline?

Also, in paragraph four (right after the "Cathy" quote) I'm not sure I followed you entirely. "I do truly miss it" implies to me that you don't engage in those discussions etc. anymore (or only very rarely), but then immediately afterward you say you're an inspiration to others in that area, which implies to me that you do engage in these discussions often. I feel I either misunderstood what you miss or how you inspire others - would you mind elaborating a bit?
