Psalm 22:22 I will declare Your name to my brothers; I will praise Your name in the congregation!

About Me

I love to laugh, play ball, worship, go to movies, play poker, play games, and tons of other stuff. I will update this more later. If you want to know me on a deeper level read my blogs or feel free to ask me anything and I will be straight forward and honest with you. Peace.

Music:

Favorite secular artist is my boy Jack Johnson. Love Third Day, David Crowder, Jeremy Camp, and Chris Tomlin. I love Kelly Clarkson... -Since You've Been Gone- has been my "coffee" in the morning many a times... Shakira, Temple of the Dog, Poison, Creed, N'SYNC, Foo Fighters, Kenny Chesney, Travis Tritt, Tim McGraw, and tons more..."Every rose has its thorn!"

Movies:

Goodwill Hunting, E.T., Rocky 1-4, Boondock Saints, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, Fever Pitch, Braveheart, Gladiator, Rounders, Count of Monte Cristo, Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, XXX, Saving Private Ryan, Top Gun, and my favorite of all time is The Last Samurai. In Braveheart and Gladiator (and many other movies that I DO like) the hero is almost flawless. He only has to conquer the enemy. In The Last Samurai, Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) must conquer himself, because he is flawed, before he can conquer the enemy and I love that. For me characters like that are easier to relate to. I like the guys that are flesh and blood and not larger than life.

Television:

Boy Meets World, Dawson's Creek, Saved By the Bell, Will & Grace, Survivorman, Man vs Wild, The Office, The Unit.

Books:

Wild at Heart, Waking the Dead, Strong Men in Tough Times, Maximized Manhood, Sex Communication and Money, Disappointment with God, Seizing Your Moment, Ruthless Trust, Mornings and Evenings (a daily devotional by my boy Charles Spurgeon--get it!), and of course the Bible. I can't read anything fake... I can only read sports and spiritual... if I wanted to be entertained I would see a movie... Love anything by John Eldridge and Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning absolutely changed my walk... Waking the Dead by J.E. really awakened me to spiritual warfare...

Heroes:

My Pops has been the most steady and spiritually solid example any kid could have... he is not perfect but I have not seen anybody that walked more closely to the Lord... And my Paw-Paw... You would not be able to find any unused potential in his life... He maximized every gift he had and that is such an inspiration for me... I am definitely blessed to have both in my family... Dave Busby is hands down the greatest Christian speaker I've ever heard and his honesty and humbleness are qualities that I admire greatly.

My Blog

What I would love in a woman.

Guys are not like girls and I don't know any cats that have actually sat down and made a list of all the qualities that they want in a woman. This is certainly not my attempt at doing that but rather...

Encouragement from the Past

My boy Charles Spurgeon in "Morning & Evening" is just flat-out amazing. There is a devotion for every morning and evening of the year and this is my third time through it. The verse listed above is...
