august burns ray.

i'm learning to live the way i should, i'm learning to love the way you would.

About Me


My name's Ray, or Raybies, Raydar, Rayman, Raymundo, or however many other variations of my first name or last name you wish to concoct.
About me? Well, first and foremost I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour who took up the cross for me so that I am saved from condemnation by his glorious grace of dying and rising to life. I believe that he is the most important thing in my life, and yours, and that everything is secondary to him.
It is my hope that my MySpace can become a GodSpace.
I aspire to be bold for a cause in a world that is overtaken by apathy.
I'm a sinner, that means I rebel against God, consequently I'm not always perfect and not always a good person or friend - but I try to be!
And if this is true for you - shout it loud on your MySpace too, even copy above if you want to.
I try to love everyone and will try to treat you how I would like to be treated, so don't hesitate to give me a comment or message!

My Interests

God.

Sleeping In...

Well I did relatively better today after much 'encouragement'.It'll be a slow process, but with the support of those around me... I might possibly revert to a comparatively normal lifestyle.Let's pray...

Haha.
