My Interests

Education, Sports, Eternal Life, Psychology, politics, CaboCaboCabo, interest rates.....

I'd like to meet:

Mariska Hargitay and Pat Summit. Completely different worlds and real random, but they both seem like very interesting and passionate women.

Music:

I am so laid back and open...as long as i don't get a headache, and as long as i am not traumatized by nasty lyrics...its all good. LOVE LOVE LOVE Late Tuesday, David Gray, Shawn McDonald, Sarah McLachlan, Sara Groves and yes, even Point of Grace...

Movies:

My Favorites are Elf, Luther, Finding Forester, Hook, Ocean's 11, Napoleon, League of Their Own, and most recently Crash and In Her Shoes... I like to laugh, and I like to be impacted to grow and learn...

Television:

I like it. I like the people i hang out with more though... and the conversations that come out of it...

Books:

Maybe i like Harry Potter, and you can tell i need a break if i pull one out. Books that are walking the line between psychology and theology tend to keep my attention currently as well. The Bible for various reasons, and Grudem's Systematic Theology... good times!

Heroes:

I am so blessed with amazing people in my life... people I look up to and appreciate greatly. Those brave enough to know their story well, and face their creator inspire me to do the same!
