About Me

Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete. We'll see it all then, as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

God expressed AS you.

Music:

Movies:

movie theater popcorn layered with butter with that yellow salt and hot tamales sprinkled about...and a big coke (salty popcorn makes ya thirsty) | let me care about the characters | writing that keeps you even when you've figured out the plot | plots you don't ever figure out | stories that remind me why we should accept people for who and where they are |

Television:

i use it for the indiscriminate noise that helps me fall asleep...although Grey's Anatomy is pretty cool (I don't like Meredith)

Books:

Heroes:

people who accept & love without condition
