Thank God that our God is in charge. - Desmond Tutu

About Me


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Nelson Mandela

I'd like to meet:

My grandparents
Desmond Tutu (his name rocks)
Jesus (I try to meet with him everyday)

Old friends...maybe new ones.

Music:

I listen to random stuff. I like random compilations I just made one with Clint Black, Akon, LFO (yes, the Lyte Funky Ones), the Temptations, the Gourds doing Snoop Dogg, about 12 other artists and a worship song added to it to keep me grounded.

Movies:

Right now my favorite movie is WITHOUT A PADDLE it is stinking hilarious. Rent, Ocean's Eleven, Rounders, American History X, Shag, The Power of One, Remember the Titans, John Q, Desperately Seeking Susan, Walking Tall, Dazed and Confused to name a few. I also love the TV movie Rags to Riches from the 80s, I know I need help. I do not like scary movies.

Television:

I like are Las Vegas (Josh Duhamel is pretty), King of Queens (funny), Rosanne, games shows (I am little too competative sometimes) and Law & Order.

Books:

I like true stories, I like short stories. Max Lucado is a sweet author. Barbara Johnson is a funny author. The Bible is a good read, I need to read it more often.

Heroes:

I am not sure I have heroes, I have people that rock my world and are awesome. You never should meet your heroes because most times they will just disappoint you. It is hard be on a pedastal all the time (I should know, yeah right).

The less cynical part of me says you can find "a little hero" in almost everyone... ahh that was nice.
