Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man From Galilee

About Me

My identity is ideally wrapped up in Christ, although I know I fall far from this mark. On April 22nd, this past Holy Saturday, I was baptized and chrismated into the Eastern Orthodox Church booyah!! When people were congratuling us they said "welcome home" and thats exactly what it is--a homecoming. A homecoming to THE Church of Christ and the Apostles. Never have I experienced Christ so fully. Never have I seen a Church so completely centered on Christ in absolutely everything it does. It is truly amazing. Glory be to God.Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Orthodox Christianity!, music, reading about Christianity and history in general--i just realized that the library has an insane amount of material on religions.

I'd like to meet:

JESUS!!! Saints, someone who knows a whole lot that they could tell me.

Music:

looots of stuff....Talking Heads, Phish, Hot Tuna, Zeppelin, the Dead, Matisyahu, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Postal Service, Damien Rice, The Who, Queen, Peter Gabriel, Leftover Salmon, ALCHEMY!..

Movies:

The Passion of the Christ, Eternal Sunshine, Forrest Gump

Television:

The Wonder Years!!, Boy Meets World, Welcome Back Kotter, Seinfeld, EWTN

Books:

Gotta have some Bible action (Orthodox Study Bible of course), Lord of the Rings, Narnia Chronicles, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Can Man Live Without God?, The Orthodox Church

Heroes:

Do we need any hero but Jesus Christ? I think not. But of course there are the many heroes of the faith like the Apostles, the many martyrs and all the Saints who spread our faith round the ol' globe for us.
