Lefty's Friday Three Questions for March 7th
If it's Friday, it means its time to answer three questions:
1. What author or book has been most transformative in your life?
2. Has then been an idea or belief that you deeply held that you switched sides on as you became better informed?
3. How many seconds can you hold your breath for? Is it shorter or longer than you can remember holding it for?
Comments
1. Brennan Manning's book The Ragamuffin Gospel really changed my life and my Christian beliefs. Also another book that affected my profoundly and deeply was Harper Lee's To Catch A Mockingbird.
2. I used to be anti-homosexual based on my then religious beliefs, but as I started reading my bible, reading the key passages, and what others have written about those passages. I also I listened to the voices of GLBT Christians as well.
3. 42 seconds. Back in the summer afternoon summer pool days of my youth I used to be able to hold my breath for 90 seconds easy.

1. Clearly, Sissela Bok's Lying.
2. Ethanol. I'm not against it per se, but it's got to be used with things other than corn, which is wreaking havoc on both the food economy AND not making that much of an impact on energy reduction.
3. Don't know. Haven't tried in a long time. Last time was when my niece, who's now 29, was a teenager, and I could outlast her and her friends, going well over a minute.
