Living Acts ch. 29, starting something that is greater then myself, living for others, dying to myself, seeking redemption, finding love in Grace, and Grace in Love. Bringing a positive venue to this area, touching the 20's and youth of leesburg through music and culture that is almost non existent in this city. An alternative to bars, trashy clubs, and smokey pool halls(franks excluded=) a place to chill, have fun, listen to live music, and embrace something new, individualism, selflessness, giving unto others for the first time, getting plugged into a life of community, bc we're not alone around here, and our family needs help, your brothers and sisters are crying out, help me to wipe away there tears.
I'd like to meet:
Those who feel like the world could go on and not miss them.Those who think no one cares about them.Those with nothing to lose, at the end of there rope.The lost, the sick, the bruised, the abused, the orphan, the widow, the sinners just like me.Others that have been broken, forgiven, and restored.And Jesus, since all will meet Him on the day of judgement i guess i'll save Him for last=)

Television:
Maybe an hour or two every month, to be honest, i'ld rather live my own life then imitate those who are just copying others to begin with. If your going to copy anyone, make it Christ, the bible is my source of wisdom, because television is just something to pass the time when you can't think of something more meaningfull to do.
Books:
Seeing how i'm horrible at finishing a book( i have about 30, literally, that are half read) i just buy audio books, i even have the bible on mp3 so yes, i'm that lazy, or am i just that efficient? Your call. The books that have most changed my life in order or importance and degree of affect are: The Bible, Rich Dad-poor dad, I kissed dating goodbye, Think and grow rich, Single and loving it, When boy meets girl, 7 habits of highly effective people. The Bible showed me the way, Rich dad poor dad showed me how to get there without being a slave to money, I kissed dating goodbye showed me how to avoid the pittfalls of casual love, Think and grow rich showed me the power of the mind, Single and loving it showed me the beauty of this season of singleness, When boy meets girl showed me how i'll meet my wife, and last but assuredly not least, the 7 habits are continually renewing my mind so that as the famous quote says (i can arrive at the grave not tired and hoping for more time, but skidding in sideways, tattered and worn, yelling, "Man, what a ride!!".)
Heroes:
Jesus, need i say more, praying that i can have a faith like that, able to die for my beliefs and love my enemies. Role models: My Father, my pastor, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracey, Warren Buffet, Michael Dell, Henry Ford, Mr. Honda, and all of the other people who said, "I will!" in the face of overwhelming adversity. I also admire my mother, who without saying anything can know what's wrong, and how to fix it, in about 5 minutes flat lol. Her silent, humble, yet deliberate actions, show that might alone avails nothing, but with faith in Christ, anything is possible.
