Funniest and/or fondest childhood memory
Definitely the most impactful childhood memory (though it was neither funny nor fond), was disobeying my father and driving our riding lawnmower. It ended with me crashing through a cabinet he had spent the previous three weeks making, and plowing to a stop in the back wall of the garage . . . and then having the next five hours to think about him coming home from work.

Trademark saying
Anything with the words "Unreached People Groups" in it.
If I had a different job I would be . . .
a missionary to an Unreached People Group.
Nobody knows that I still . . .
write love poems to my wife.
If I could ask God one questions it would be:
With over 6 billion people in the world, why have You poured out so much grace, mercy, and kindness to me?"
