The Answers!
Here are the answers to our latest version of Two Truths and a Lie!
#1 – FALSE (I only have one other brother in my family that hunts. Because of
the distance that we live from each other, we haven’t hunted together
many times.) While this takes the mystery out of the rest of the questions, it is nevertheless false. Of the four boys in the family, I am the only one that hunts. I have one brother that likes for me to come hunt on his property and another that thinks it’s horrible that I would “kill animals for fun” (his words). My other brother probably doesn’t care one way or the other. My brothers are great.
#2 – TRUE (I have a brother that can only drink hot water. If he drinks anything else, it could kill him.) As many of you pointed out, this is so weird it must be true. My brother Paul, the bald one below, has a problem with the vagus nerve in his esophagus. I don’t think anyone is completely sure why it happens, but the effect is that if he drinks anything other than hot liquids (he only drinks hot water), his heart will go into atrial fibrillation (a-fib). It was very scary a few years ago before we discovered the cause. His heart kept fibrillating and no one knew why. It is very weird, but Paul is very weird so it’s somewhat fitting.
#3 – TRUE (All three of my brothers own their own businesses. I am the only one of the boys that has not been an entrepreneur.) Each of my brothers owns their own business and is very successful. I, however, have never worked full time supporting myself that way. On the other hand, since college, every one of my jobs was a new position in a company, so I’ve had to create each job from scratch. That includes working at two different churches beginning youth ministries where they didn’t exist before. Not quite and entrepreneur, but still somewhat of a pioneer.
So how did you do? For extra fun, I’m going to add a photo of all seven siblings in my family. Do me a favor and leave a comment on the photo too (i.e, click the photo then leave a comment). I’d love to be Featured once before the Lord comes back!
But comment on this entry too.

My dad had his Vagus nerve severed in stomach surgery….it didn’t have that effect on him though. It gave him a “dumping syndrome” – everything flew through! Not scary, but a bit inconvenient!
The whole vagus nerve is kinda scary. Truthfully, I can’t imagine drinking just hot water. We have a friend who doesn’t like tea or coffee so she drinks hot water by choice. Now that I think is truly weird.
Yo … how good am I!?!?!
*head swells to popping size*

Stars, star spider dads photo. Leave 5 and only five stars. If a few of us do that, his picture will make featured. I have had a lot of pictures make the first page. Not for long, it only take one rating below 5 to send you to the back page. But he only wants to be there once
