About Me

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does it much better. ~Plutarch (Thanks Cita)
HOPEFULLY THAT NEEDS NO EXPLANATION!
Now here's for something for the more reflective! =) I am not perfect. That's right, you heard it here first! Now, since the Bible says you have to be perfect to get to heaven, I'm SO not in the running (on my own, that is). Now, that seems pretty bleak, except for one thing: Jesus. See, he paid the price for my imperfection. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith. It is the gift of God, and not of works, lest any man boast." When Jesus lived that perfect life, and yet died, and then rose again, he did so on our behalf. See, I am just a beggar who's received a gift she could never earn or pay for- and that is forgiveness. And forgiveness is the first part of having a relationship with God. With the relationship with God comes access to heaven. Want to know more, or have questions? Ask me! And if you're worried that I won't be able to handle a friendship with someone who doesn't see a need for Jesus, see my first quote listed in this section. I'm not about to only have friends who think like I do. That would be crazy! So, I just want to take this time to thank you for letting me be myself! So , what, you're still reading this?? That's Madness! Ok, well, along with imperfection, I'm also silly as all get-out! I talk too much, I sleep too little, and think Jack Black is hot! HA! Not hot, but there's just something about a funny guy (especially one who's intelligent & musically talented)!

My Interests

Studying the Bible, music, volleyball, anything at the beach, climbing trees.

Also, I try to appreciate the beauty that surrounds me, whether it's the splendor of the mountains or the oleanders that line the freeway.I'll miss you, Teddy Bear!
You are Ephesians.

I'd like to meet:

"Somebody who will listen to me when I want to speak about the world we live in, and life in general. And though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted, he'll hear me out and not easily be converted to my way of thinking, in fact we'll often disagree. But at the end of it all, he will understand me."

Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com"Would ya look at the size of that kid's head! It's the size of a planetoid and it has it's own weather system! Looks like an orange on a toothpick! I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! (Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow.)"

Television:

Did you ever notice that with all the animal cookies, only the monkey has pants? So, I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like, is the hippo going,'Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!'And you know the monkey's just,'I mock you with my monkey pants!''

Books:

The Chronicals of Narnia, The Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, That Hideous Strength), The Screwtape Letters,~ C.S. Lewis (probably my favorite author);Hinds' Feet For High Places~ Hannah Hurnard;Oh Say Can You Say?, Fox in Socks~Dr. Seuss;The Case for Christ~ Lee Strobel
