1. Whe...<b>Seven Personal Things That Really Happened</b><br /><br />1. When we were about 10-11 years old, my brother and I would take our bow and arrows to a field and shoot the arrows straight up. Then we would crouch down and see how close the arrows landed to us.<br /><br />2. I grew up near Disneyland and my brother and I went there often (It was cheaper then). We would stay until closing time. We got to know the place pretty well, and discovered a weak point in the park's security. Later in the night, we found that if we stayed around the Tomorrowland railroad station until nobody else was around, we could dash unseen across the tracks and hide in the trees and tall grass on the outer perimeter's embankment. Never got caught.<br /><br />3. We also found the way to the roof of the Disneyland Hotel. Got caught.<br /><br />4. Once when my wife and were vacationing in Hawaii, I accidently went swimming with my wallet in my pocket. When I returned to where my wife was, I discovered my mistake and laid out my cards, papers and money to dry on our beach mat. When everything had dried, including my swim shorts, I put my wallet and contents back in my pocket. About 10 minutes later, I, without thinking, went back into the water AGAIN.<br /><br />5. In 1968, I was driving my '59 Chevy, and made a right turn onto a street where there were a lot of people standing on the sidewalk and curb. In a few seconds, a mototcycle policeman pulled me over. He parked his motorcycle right next to my driver's door, but said nothing to me. After some limousines and police cars had passed, the officer motioned for me to move on. <b>My right turn had placed me into vice presidential candidate Edmund Muskie's motorcade.</b> <br /><br />6. I have seen 2 space shuttle landings at Edwards AFB, and missed seeing one launch. I was at a Ligonier conference in Orlando and went outside to look for a place to have lunch. Then, I decided to go back in and just get something from one of the concession stands in the convention center. When the meetings resumed, Paul Sailhammer said to the attendees, "I hope everybody got to see the Atlantis taking off during the lunch break. It was a fantastic sight."<br /><br />7. When I was 9 years old, I got to ride in the Goodyear Blimp.<br /><br />BONUS Personal Thing That Really Happened:<br /><br />8. When I first became interested in Calvinism and Reformed Theology, I kept Kim Riddlebarger on the phone for about 45 minutes asking him questions. (He was very gracious, and generous with his time.)stranger.strange.landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095085549321636456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-62957713300658565692011-09-01T19:35:38.127+03:002011-09-01T19:35:38.127+03:00Number 4 is true of all Calvinists, I believe.Number 4 is true of all Calvinists, I believe.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-70595295240270815272011-09-01T07:01:21.857+03:002011-09-01T07:01:21.857+03:00Hey Eddie, #4 is very clever.

Hensley Settlement in the Cumberland Gap National Park was founded by my gr-gr-grandfather Burton Hensley. <br />3. I got my first paddling in 3rd grade for calling a teacher a bad name. I was so scared my dad would find out.<br />4. Before I was converted I once went to church with a hangover. I remember sitting in church thinking, "It's a wonder God doesn't kill me."<br />5. When I was about 12, I sent off for the "Atlas body in 7 days" material. I was disappointed.<br />6. I once commuted to college one semester with Eddie Eddings.<br />7. Patsy Cline's real name is Virginia Hensley. I don't know if we're related, it's just kind of cool.Chris Hensleynoreply@blogger.com
