About Me

i want my whole life to be a response to truth. that's it.

"These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere..." ~Switchfoot

this is my friend sindy's photography...click on the pic and check her out. seriously. she's wicked talented.

My Interests

OKAY, FOLKS, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS. SERIOUSLY. TAKE TEN MINUTES AND WATCH THESE TWO VIDEOS, STARTING WITH THIS ONE...

NOW THIS ONE...

I'd like to meet:

ooh, all kinds of folks. my husband. keith green. darls and the rest of the hillsong gang. king david. my mom's grandparents. jason & rachel upton. don miller. ted dekker and frank peretti. the guy who makes those incredible glass sculptures that hang in julie's hotel. joseph the dreamer. my future children. mel gibson. bono. martin smith. joyce meyers. john & stasi eldredge. jeff buckley. all my dad's uncles with the funny nicknames. jimmy stewart. aj sherrill. m. night shyamalan. john mark mcmillan. don potter.

Music:

there is a sound in music that calls to the deepest parts of our souls, a clarion call that we cannot help but respond to that has nothing to do with notes or melodies or rhythms but everything to do with our heartbeat.

Movies:

i watch too many.

Television:

pushing daisies, bones, life, firefly, burn notice

Books:

some of my fav authors: ted dekker, francine rivers, davis bunn, kristen heitzman, j r r tolkein, charles martin, c s lewis, donald miller, gene edwards, tom stoppard, charles dickens, steven king (i've only read "dreamcatcher" but the man is a darn good writer), jamie tworkowski, dr seuss, stephen lawhead, zach helm (technically a screenplay writer but he deserves to be on the list--if you haven't seen "mr. magorium's wonder emporium" or "stranger than fiction," your life is the poorer for it)

Heroes:

Jesus, the most amazing, most REAL Dude ever; my parents, Wendell and Jan Hollingsworth; my sister, Dawn--you are brave and strong in ways I could only hope to be; Jason, THE most incredible li'l bro a gal could ever have; Keith Green; King David; Don Potter; Rita Springer; Nicole, Jen and Jules--true friends and truly great women

My Blog

and only your breath can know how sore my throat is

wow, i am so melancholy right now. or, maybe melancholy isn't quite the right word...maybe heartbroken is better. yes, i think so. there is something so awful, so utterly final about death...
