The Many Sides of Katie Abbott

Just to be weird (as if that's a struggle), I thought I'd google Katie Abbott and see what it came up with. I've done this before, but generally to see where this blog placed. This time, I was looking for other Katie Abbotts. Quite an interesting array, I must say. Here's what it came up with:


  1. A Katherine Abbott M.F.A., who has worked around the world (the Netherlands, Singapore, Ghana, etc.) as a trainer. She has her Masters in Modern Dance, which makes me happy--at least one of us gets to dance.
  2. There was a Katie Abbott marrying a Mike Harris. Apparently, they're very well traveled as well--Africa, Italy, St. Lucia, etc.
  3. There was a craft services member for various movies. I've actually thought about doing this. It wouldn't be a bad match, considering my degree. Craft services, according to Wikipedia, works with all the departments working on a film, and provides snacks for cast & crew, among other things.
  4. This Katie Abbott fascinated me. She's an English lady who does woodworking. She makes some lovely pieces, apparently.
  5. There is a Katie Abbott who works as Director of Admissions at Marylhurst University, near Portland, Oregon. Couldn't find much more on her, but found that fairly interesting, as I do like Portland.
  6. There's a Louisville Pediatrician who has a chinchilla named Truman.
  7. Before today, I had no idea that there was a park with my name, but apparently there is, on Malthusian Way in Mahtomedi Minnesota. Who knew?
  8. Lastly, I found a tribute to a Katie who passed away last month. She was wheelchair-bound, incapable of doing many of the things that we often take for granted. But she had Christ. And above all the other impressive Katies that I came across today, I found it fitting that God reminded me that only one thing counts when you come to the end of your days--your relationship with Him.
