I wanna hear the thunder of who You are.

About Me

Well hello there. My name is Dustin and I live in sunny Southern California. I'm into playing guitar/leading worship, making odd jokes that cause awkward silence, being social when the opportunity presents itself, and being involved in all kinds of different ministries at my church. Most importantly though, being a disciple of Jesus and following the Lord passionately with my whole heart is the goal and purpose of my life. That in His grace, He would shine His light through me in this world. I'll gladly strike up a conversation with anyone, whether normal, weird, interesting, outlandish, etc. So don't be shy. Lord bless you all!

My Interests

Words of life!

QUOTE OF THE DAY FROM ST. MELLITUS: "IT IS NOT THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS FIRST, AND THAT THEN HE LOVES; BUT THAT HE LOVES US, AND THEN WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. THIS IS THAT GRACE, WHICH IS REVEALED TO THE HUMBLE, BUT HIDDEN FROM THE PROUD."

I'd like to meet:

The Big Guy upstairs, I got a few questions for Him. But, I'll know the answers when I'm supposed to.

Music:

I'm into all kinds of metal but more importantly I can pretty much enjoy anything that is glorifying to the Lord. That includes all good worship music, metal, alternative, acoustic, etc.

Movies:

Well, I'm just gonna list a few of my favorites although I do enjoy many types of movies: Gladiator, Army of Darkness, Ace Ventura, Pitch Black, Lots of Monty Python (Flying Circus, Holy Grail, etc.)...and I dont feel like listing anything else right now. I'll get around to it eventually.

Television:

Anyone who turns on a TV should watch the Simpsons.

Books:

The Bible, Desiring God, The Confessions of Augustine, The Wonderful Spirit-Filled Life, Twelve Ordinary Men, Master Plan of Evangelism, Second, The Treasure Principle, Wild at Heart, The Making of a Leader, Simple Church, and The Heavenly Man (make sure you read that one!).

Heroes:

God is the one that I look up to for guidance, questions, and love. And anyone who has the boldness, courage, and love to be an obedient disciple of Jesus.
