About Me

Ok let's get to know me: The Basics Born in Graham, TX May 12, 1984 3 Sisters Kim 38, Tammy 35, and Lanett 31 3 Nieces Lindsey 15, Brooke 10, Hope 6 2 Nephews Brent 13, Taylor 11Ok a little about me. I'm probably unlike anyone you've ever met before. I'm "different" not in the freaky kind of way (I don't think) I'm just hard to categorize. I'm extremely analytical (I was going to be a lawyer) so nothing usually gets by me. I don't feel very outgoing, but people tell me I am. I'm usually shy around people I don't know that well. God called me to be a Pastor. For those of you that have known me for any time at all you know that only by me truly believing He called me would I be attempting this. I know what I should do, but I don't always do it. I'm very sarcastic and quick to fire back, but I honestly don't mean anything by it. (I'm working on it guys I promise) I'm a hopeless romantic. Love always wins! I've done a little bit of everything I think. Welder, plumber, Pastor, electrician, worked at a casino, waiter, cook, convenience store, carpenter, painter, worship leader, and a few other things. I really like working and building stuff with my hands. (I wonder how that will work in the pastorate) I have more scars than any normal person should. I DON'T have red hair! But I do have freckles. (Which I pretty much hate) I'm normally not an emotional guy. My nieces and nephews are like my little brothers and sisters. The only time I get really mad is when you mess with someone that I really care about. (I wouldn't recommend it) I Love God, but still wonder sometimes why He loves me. I'm very independent because I've always had to be. If you don't really want to know what I'm thinking don't ask. = ) I have a bad habit of speaking before I think. Throw everything that is typical out of the window when it comes to me.Things I absolutely Love: God, Lauren(my hottie wife), the smell of rain, laughing, being crazy, being random, spontaneity, my family, watching movies, driving in my truck, singing at the top of my lungs, surprising people, warm showers, hugs from special people, Music, Fishing, inside jokes, college, being with my close friends, cold weather, sports, being outside, the country, catching people offguard, quotes, ......I have been blessed with everything I could want, but nothing that I really deserve. I have a GORGEOUS wife.. (She's Super Hot!) I get to lead students into becoming more like my maker who radically touched my life. I'm now living in a super sweet house that is perfect for Lauren and I and I am loving my life. I want my life to be a testimony of an Awesome God working on an average person..

My Interests

I'm halfway athletic so anything outside is good. I usually only run when I'm extremely mad so if you see me running there is probably someone with me or I'm extremely upset so I wouldn't recommend stopping me. Fishing quickly became a favorite of mine...the "tank" and fishing out of a tube is so awesome...with our little headlamps...it's a country thing you wouldn't understand....me and B.O.B caught ALOT of bass. I also enjoy hunting and getting back to my "country" boy roots.

I'd like to meet:

God, We need to have some Q and A time...

Music:

I'll listen to pretty much anything.

Movies:

I love watching movies...it's one of my favorite things to do on an empty weeknight so I've pretty much watched everything. Braveheart and Gladiator are a few of my favorites... But I'm not afraid of the occasional chick flick...

Television:

I don't watch much television, but I do watch the CSI seasons when they hit DVD

Books:


Heroes:

Anyone who inspires me to be a better person

Grace

Wow so yeah the only reason I'm blogging is because I am at work study and I'm bored out of my mind.  So today in chapel the preacher talked about grace which really grabbed hold of me. ...
