About Me

The Love of God is greater far, than tongue or pen can ever tell... It goes beyond, the highest star, And reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair, bowed down with care.... God gave his Son to win, His erring child, He reconciled, And pardoned from his sin. Could we with ink, the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made.... were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade. To write the love, of God above, would drain the ocean dry Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky......... O love of God, how rich and pure! how measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, The saints and angels' song..

My Dad always told me that Diamonds and dynamite come in small packages, which always made me smile. There's a lot about life in general that makes me smile, and my brief history on this planet is interesting enough that sometimes i seriously consider writing a book, except I wonder if anyone would believe half of it....? Anyhow, my life began Humble enough, being born humble (and proud of it) sharing the glory of entering existance with lady Shezza. (That's Cheryl, for those of you unaquainted with my twin, my counterpart, my opposite, my friend.) I loved growing up in a big family, seven kids total, a modern "Von Trapp" family if you will, and would not be oppossed to having a nice herd myself one day. We played a lot of games, ran through a lot of woods, grew through many awkward stages, and sold a lot of golfballs. Paperoutes and old movies, libraries and homeschool, it was good times....Once 8th grade hit, my life took a whirlwind effect and the last 14 years have provided a plethera of stories for my book if I find I only have a year left to live to write about it, except my memory is so bad sometimes that I would have to rely on you (my friends) to relay most of the finer points back to me so the details are not lost. The one pillar, however, that has stood steadfast in memory and conscience and heart would be the hand of God, and to Him i must attribute the quality of my life thus far and all the joy i have found in living it. Someone asked me recently, "honestly, what is it like being a christian?" and the answer slipped out of it's own accord, "I honestly can say there is no greater life". that pretty much sums it up.

My Interests

Always had a dream to learn masonry. It's not too late, is it? If i am indoors i am most likely interested in a good book or classic movie, and writing letters before bed with real ink and italian stationary. I like to start a lot of projects but only a select few ever get finished. I dream about taking up art again, and for some reason i am afraid of being incapable to express, so a lot of paper stays white and many a pencil has never been sharpened. I like company and socializing. there is a good chance that the best part of my day is because someone came over to have tea and visit with me. I like people. I like spontaneous people. Outdoors; I am always interested in a loooooong bike ride, or hike. I really miss colorado. I love hitting the crags for some good ol' climbing, but sometimes just want a invigorating and challenging boulder problem with good friends. I liker the fall season for all above listed activities, yeah baby. Can i just say that my first day snowboarding was in the top 10 best days of my life? can we talk about 4am snowshoeing in the backcountry and boarding down to the rising sun? sighhhh........ I wish i owned a pair of rollar blades still, and I am amazed i have taken up longboarding and the skate park without breaking any bones. I have a desire to learn how to break dance, do a decent hand stand, and pretty much learn coordination in general so when I am dancing at a wedding I don't feel ridiculous. smile. One day I will hand stitch a quilt, and would have contributed in the construction of a home. I will also learn teh piano well enough to sit and play whatever piece happens to be in front of me. I would like to be married one day and be an understanding and adventerous wife, a fun and smart mom, and a kickin' old lady who anyone would want to be.

I'd like to meet:

Madonna and Marilyn Manson...I think we'd get along. the paparazzi, just a handful would do. i want to know how they got into this line of work, and how they sleep at night. I also wish to have met Ruth Bell Graham. She was a feisty and lively woman that had more personality than anyone I ever read about, and she lived a life i would have liked to dare to live. Johnny Depp. Yes, I said it. i do.

Music:

Pretty much any mix cd Cheryl makes for me. I love classical music and instrumental worship. The 80's never really died, and 80's love songs with electric giutar turn me all mushy inside."they might be giants" hold a special place in my heart as well. too many other artists to list. There's not too much music I don't like, except one's with a excessive profanity and sexual content; I just don't enjoy them.

Movies:

Dare i begin?

Television:

haven't watched t.v in like 11 years on a regular basis. But my friends buy t.v. series on cd and i got addicted to "friends" for a while and in Oregon my roomates and I made hot cocoa on cold nights and watched "sex in the City" re-runs. I hated the 1st 4 episodes i ever saw, so i have no idea how i switched over. When i was 12 I started taping every original and n.g. star trek episode until i had them all. Sharon taped over them all later with "little house on the prairie" and i was devastated. Spock was my first crush. Very sexy. If i watch t.v. now i think i would get sucked into animal planet and the discovery channel, and old sitcoms popular from 1980 to 90's.

Books:

"Rebecca" and "Jane Eyre" tie for first, i read them every year. "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" for second, and "the Hiding place", "a man called Peter", and "frog and toad" for third, fourth and fifth. I read a new memoir or 2 every month, and exhausted myself on WW11 accounts and memoirs last year. Children's books, the "wrinkle in time" series, C.S. lewis, anything by Ruth Bell Graham, Sherlock holmes, and picture books of beautiful places.

Heroes:

Wayne Weissman, for living out what he believes. Jesus Christ, for second chances. My mom, FOR SURVIVING it all. Those who harbor no bitterness. People who take risks. Bonnie Thomas, for trusting God. Pattie Weissman, for proving to me one can live a truly joyful life.
