Another world is possible

About Me

My name is Shawn........I am a son of the living God, I love my wife and kids. I love my family and friends. I surf, snowboard, play guitar and I pastor a church for a living. I am a hypocrite, I am passionate but apathetic. I love God but do not always act like it. I have a heart for the poor and for justice but have no problem drinking a 4 dollar coffee or wasting money on a crappy movie or fast food. I love who I am but I am disappointed at the same time. I hate famous people but I would love to be famous. I like salsa but I hate the tomato, I am very authentic, what you see is what you get but I use that as a mask to hide my insecurity. With all that said I am learning more and more each day just how much grace has been given to me from the God that I love.......... ..www.gotogeneration.com

Irony
