I am here for Friends

About Me

I desire most to live this adventure in the knowledge that something amazing like unexplainable green hills waits on the other side, but the hills in the here and now, regardless of color, are the ones my feet press against.

Jon Foreman and the rest of the Switchfoot team, the people from TWLOHA, refugee children from the most torn parts of Africa, Alan Rickman, C.S. Lewis, my Grandmother, Martin Luther, Ghandi, someone who wants to teach me to surf and play the guitar (at the same time. that would be so cool.), the actual Jesus, as opposed to right-wing American dream Santa Claus Jesus.
