A salute to MN from Jeff Foxworthy...

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Minnesotans: If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Minnesota. ... If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Minnesota ... If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Minnesota ... If you measure distance in hou.........rs, you may live in Minnesota .... If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Minnesota .... If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you may live in Minnesota ... If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Minnesota ... If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Minnesota ... If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Minnesota ... If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Minnesota ... If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Minnesota ... If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Minnesota ... If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Minnesota ... If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Minnesota .... If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly', you may live in Minnesota ... (If you actually understand these jokes, and share them to your entire Minnesotan friends & others, you definitely live in Minnesota!)

Mark Kraakevik

Although he is a Colorado native, Mark's family also lived in Iowa and Chicago when he was young. They moved back to Evergreen, CO, in 1982 and he graduated from Evergreen High School in 1987 (Go Cougars). He graduated from Bethel College in St. Paul, MN in 1991 (Go Royals) and received his Masters of Divinity from Denver Seminary in Englewood, CO in 1994(Go...bookworms). Since 1992, he has been a youth pastor in Iowa, Minnesota and Colorado. Mark and Heidi returned to Colorado in 2001, and are enjoying living in the community and raising their family here. Mark and Heidi have two daughters. His lifetime goal is to love God and to enjoy Him forever, and to share this passion with everyone he meets. Unlike most people, Mark loves speaking in front of crowds, which he does as often as possible. He loves motivating his friends and family to uncommon acts of love and service through creativity and humor. Mark also loves jazz and winter. He is afraid of snakes, bears, and the ocean -- which is weird in light of his Scandinavian heritage.
