About Me

"As sunlight falls free on the open field, so the knowledge of the holy God is a free gift to men who are open to recieve it." - A.W. Tozer

My Interests

I like being around friends that i can't get enough of, being in a room with a fireplace and having a hot drink in my hands, talking about deep things of the heart, laughing with my family, going to the beach, dr. boud's jokes and wisdom, singing together with people i love, having community and sweet fellowship with the family of God, writing, reading, learning, and going to historical places. I like to sit and play guitar and sing and write songs. I love fall weather and the clothes you get to wear when it is cold. I like going to the Natchez Trace on a beautiful day and having a picnic by the lake. I like chocolate. I like singing in a choir in huge cathedrals. I like traveling to Europe.
