I'd like to meet:

I dont know...I suppose I would like to meet the first person who decided to take a chance and eat cottage cheese...think about it. It's chunky, old milk. He or she must have been brave, hungry, or stupid.
Create Your Own!

Music:

*USELESS INFORMATION* will always rock. But now, it's all about Chariots & Horses. Relient K. Anberlin. The Rocket Summer Hawk Neslon. Jars of Clay. Johnny Cash. The Fold. FM Static. Acceptance. Sanctus Real. Dashboard Confessional. Xion. The Bob & Steve Show. The Bob & Tony Show. Skillet. Duvall. Matt Theissen and the Earthquakes. Agnes. Matt Kearney. Jack Johnson. Kutless.

Television:

I spend too much time in front of the TV. Smallville. Gillmore Girls. Scrubs. I Love Lucy. The Andy Griffith Show. King of Queens. My Name is Earl. I go back and forth with the Simpsons. They are no longer nearly as important as they used to be.

Books:

I love to read!! I try to read many books at once!! And here they are: 1st Chronicles (New King James Version). The first 8-9 chapters are a hard read because its basically a family tree for the tribes of Israel. The Gospel of John (The Message Version). I've never read the Message version of the Bible before. Its very cool. It drops the poetic for a more blunt style. The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. Awesome book. Lee Strobel, a jounalist for the Chicago Tribune, investigates Jesus Christ from a jounalistic standpoint. The Last Christian Generation by Jack Mcdowell. This book is takes a look at this generation and reveals that it doesnt understand who Jesus is. Great book. Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit by Charles F. Stanley. Small book, good read. These are my favorites!! The Shawshank Redemption, The Body, Hearts in Atlantis, The Green Mile, The Stand, and Deloris Claiborne, all by Stephen King. Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flats, and The Pearl by John Steinbeck. In His Steps. The Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. The Chronicles of Narnia, and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. As far as authors go, I really enjoy John Steinbeck. I bought Cannery Row at a yard sale for 25 cents recently, and I cant wait to read it. I also enjoy Stephen King. And I LOVE C.S. Lewis. Mere Christianity is amazing. But the Bible is my favorite. Im currently reading 1st Samuel, which will tell the accounts of Samuel, King Saul, and David.

Heroes:

Jesus, and anyone brave enough to preach the Gospel outside the United States.
