Television:

you crave what you feed on. it's good to keep that in mind. anyway, when i can, my favorites to watch have always been old-school sitcoms like "family ties" and "the cosby show." i also like "trading spaces," "a baby story," "a wedding story," and fashion makeover shows. i also like watching "extra" and "access hollywood," when there's a t.v. available.

"Abide in Christ" by Andrew Murray, "Every Thought Captive" by Jerusha Clark, "The Mighty Hand of God" by Dale Evrist, "Courageous Leadership" by Bill Hydes, "Victory Over The Darkness" &"The Bondage Breaker" both by Neil T. Anderson, Relevant Magazine

Heroes:

Jesus because He put Himself in my place so I could be forgiven, restored, redeemed, forgiven again, forgiven over and over and over again and because He's the hope I have to be changed from the inside out while i'm here....another hero i have is my dad because He demonstrates Jesus generosity in love and grace to me.
