The Man I Want to Be

Sean Seay gave a really great message on Sunday called "The Man I Want to Be." At one point he asked us to describe to each other, when we were kids, what we had wanted to be when we grew up. Well, I actually gave this a lot of thought when I was a kid.

I had it all figured out. I was going to preside over T's, the greatest restaurant/theme park the world has ever known. Here are some pictures I drew as a kid... I apologize that it's hard to see since I had to break it up into multiple scans. But you can click on the photos and zoom if you want to get a better look.


That's me in the middle. I actually looked a lot like this in college.


More of the extensive menu. (Please ignore the bizarre intentional misspellings.)


The dining area...


Waterslides outside...


Special nerd points if you can identify the two guys sliding here (other than "Dan").




Exterior view. Stained glass windows... and my two cats on the left.


That's me on the slide. Note the young lovers sharing a bowl of cookie dough.




And another drawing of how I thought adult life would be...


I ran across this in the memory box, too. Such a younger brother.
