About Me


You will find this again and again about anything that is really Christian: everyone is attracted by bits of it and wants to pick out those bits and leave the rest. That is why we do not get much further: and that is why people who are fighting for quite opposite things can both say they are fighting for Christianity" (C.S. Lewis)

Heck, I'm not so sure anymore. As the years have passed, I have somehow become to be known as so-and-so's Dad...or that's so-and-so's ol' man...or this is so-and-so's... (you can fill in the blank). I have amazingly lost my identity...my sanity's been long, long gone.I believe a man should be a man! His priorities must be critically set in place. Be true to God, your family, friends, and country. If you're a husband and father, then be a faithful husband and Dad. If you're sharing this country with the rest of us (and you know that you are), by all means be a citizen not just a complainer. It's your right to be heard, but it's also your duty to have a plan and make a difference. With that said...I'm all about having fun...there's a lot to do and only a limited number of days in a lifetime. So while ya can...climb that mountain, hike that trail, ride that ride, see that band, play that sport..... I've wasted some days....I ain't wastin' anymore

My Interests



..

I love extreme sports. I follow them more than play them now (spirit's willing but...) Outdoors is where I like to be but seem to have trouble making time for it. I like camping, hiking, beach combing, exploring... basically, if God made it and I can enjoy it, then I'm all for it. I'm a racquetball "enthusiast," whatever that means. Hot/spicy foods and a "good" cup-a-joe a daily must. I dig music, good concerts, and deep-thought-provoking-intelligent conversation. I often have been accused of playing the devil's advocate just to keep the conversation going. I've got my sights set ..ing my own musical instrument repair biz, esp guitar repair and restoration. I spent many years working in the electronic repair industry and now I'd like to turn that craft into something more enjoyable..... I enjoy working with my hands (as opposed to working with my feet) and have a few good ears around who'll help with the perfect sound. I also have a family full of artistic-types who will put that unique touch on a custom-guitar paint job. Coming soon to a location near you.

I'd like to meet:

...that woman I thought I used to know...

PSALM 139
1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night, 12 even the darkness is not dark to you, the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. 13 For you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. 19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! 20 They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain! 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? 22 I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
