Being a great father (I aspire to this....not there yet)to all my kids, being a good example for them no matter the life challenges, being more prepared to live as a christian and learn how to allow God to accomplish His will in my life, helping my kids to do the same but hopefully much quicker than I have, composing music with the other RHP members that will have an impact on our world according to His will.
People who are not afraid to take a look at history and ask the necessary questions about how the world has gotten into the state it is in today. This includes a review of church history (secular and spiritual). If we are afraid to examine the facts about why we do what we do, then we can remain deluded and will be in a position to accept a lie when it comes disguised as truth from a pupit or an organization. I believe that even leaders unknowingly, fail to consider the 2000 year history of the church and inadvertantly present faulty impressions to others out of ignorance. Or possibly a lack of courage to take on widespread, universally accepted errors. Who I would like to meet would be Truth....which I believe is Jesus and a deeper revelation of who He is. That is solid ground, where all of the man made stuff can be a shifting foundation, if it is not grounded in His Word. The centuries have proven this. Likewise, the centuries since Christ return to the right hand of God have also yielded a True church which has continued, despite the deceptions, to pass the baton from generation to generation. So, it is my goal to meet Jesus face to face one day and I hope to meet others on the journey through life in this world, who are searching for the truth in this generation in which He has determined be part of His plan (we live in this time because He deliberately chose us for it).Finally, I hope to meet those who are searching for Him (who maybe do not know it, but are looking for the Truth) and be able to encourage them to accept Him. It is the blood of Jesus, nothing more and nothing less that reconciles us to God.

I appreciate just about all styles either from an artistic point of view, whether I personally enjoy the style or not. I have country and classic rock roots and some gospel....enjoy alternative up to date rock styles.
Apocalyptic movies (no matter the agenda or point of view of the producers...it is nice to see other perspectives), action movies....the Bourne series is okay, Segal flicks...good guys kickin bad guy butts is a plus.
Action movies (love to see the good guys win), Disney channel with my 2 youngest kids, I like some chick flicks as well (this is the first time I've put this out here...don't tell anyone), some of the History channel stuff, college and pro football if someone is having an exceptional year.
I have read all sorts of garbage over the past several decades. I don't like a lot of fiction anymore. I used to read a lot of Christian authors....then I came to the conclusion that God really intends for me to read His Word myself and let it speak to me. So much of that other stuff is man's opinion or interpertation of His Word. Either He is is able to communicate with me or He is not. So, the Bible and a ton of global news sources are my favorites. In the age in which we live...those two are a good mix. Again, globally, phiosophically and culturally you have to wade through the agendas to find the facts. We all have that personal set of values that can cloud the facts.
Anyone who will stand up for the truth and do what is right...even if it means they don't have an easy ride.
