About Me

God comes first, no exceptions.
I'm not quite sure what you meant about "silly adventure stories without my point." If they are silly, then having a point won't save them. But if they are good in themselves, and by a "point" you mean some truth about the real world wh.[ich] one can take out of the story, I'm not sure that I agree. At least, I think that looking for a "point" in that sense may prevent one sometimes from getting the real effect of the story in itself - like listening too hard for the words in singing which isn't meant to be listened to that way (like an anthem in a chorus). I'm not at all sure about all this, mind you: only thinking as I go along.
-C.S. Lewis, Letters to Children
Things to do before I die:
- Meet someone named Sven
- Write a song
- Go skydiving
- Ride a horse around a racetrack (fast, obviously, not just walking around)
- Go on a road trip
- Bungee jump
- Climb a mountain, stand on the top and scream (Not like an 'OHMYGOSHI'MFALLINGOFFOFTHEMOUNTAIN' type scream. Just a 'venting-my-frustrations-with-the-world' type scream.)
- Learn a trick on a skateboard
- Get splashed by a car driving through a really big puddle (and I mean drenched, like in cartoons)
- Fly an airplane
- Skate around an ice rink with a pillow attached to my butt
- Go to all 50 states
- See something on Broadway
- Sleep for an entire day (like, go to bed Monday night and not get up until Wednesday morning)
- Start a fire by rubbing two sticks together
- See the Northern Lights
- Have a temporary tattoo sleeve
- Learn to drive a semi
- Lie low across the border for a few days
- Build an igloo
- Hear a whale song
- See a platypus in real life
- Get my motorcycle license
- Hit someone with a pie
- Read every book C.S. Lewis wrote
- Go snowboarding
- Be in a food fight
- Crowd surf
- Write a book
- Learn to play the drums
- Get a picture on Jones Soda
- Make a blanket
- Swim in all five Great Lakes
- See the sunrise at Lake Huron, then drive to Lake Michigan to watch the sunset
- Go surfing
- Go skinny dipping
-I value my individuality . I will never be a sheep. Moo I say, moo.
- These girls are the BEST .

-I think that love is a word that's thrown around too easily and too much.
- Kelsey is my brother lady.

-I sing in the shower . Much to the dismay of everyone else in my house.
- Dandelions are my favorite.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can sincerely tell me that everything will be okay .
Someone who will love me for who I am .
Someone who will be honest with me, even when the truth isn't what I want to hear.
Someone who will understand , even when they don't agree .
Someone who doesn't care that I am most likely insane .
I found Him.
For I have loved you with an everlasting love.
- God (Jeremiah 31:3)

I wish I could've met C.S. Lewis .

It is really inconvenient...

...to realize that you desperately need to get out and find something to do at 3:47 in the morning.

Repetition

Study involves four steps. The first is repetition. Repetition regularly channels the mind in a specific direction, thus ingraining habits of thought. We may smile condescendingly at the old teaching ...
