Favorite fictional character? - Capt. James T Kirk

Besides God, who has influenced you the most, and how? - My wife through her constant encouragement and support

When did God become real to you? - July 2006.  Praying with a Gospel verse using imaginative contemplation, I met Jesus face to face.  I was speechless and in total awe in his presence.  He looked into my eyes, had a smile on his face, embraced me and said, "I have been waiting for this day."

What figure from the Bible has inspired you the most, and why? - Peter, because he always seems to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.  To me he seems like a normal guy who works hard at being a disciple of Jesus and picks himself up and continues after he messes up.
