SO YEAH...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER...THAT'S WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT IT. I CANNOT DROWN OUT THE VOICES OF THE SICK,THE POOR, THE HURTING, THE LONELY ANYMORE AND IT HAS CHANGED WHO I AM, HOW I LIVE, CONNECT WITH OTHERS AND WANT TO USE THIS SPACE AS A WAY OF FINDING OTHERS WHO ARE ALREADY ON THE BATTLEFIELD. I BELIEVE A REVOLUTION IS BEGINNING WITH OUR GENERATION....2007..THE YEAR OF JUBILEE. First of all if your reading this...there are no coincidences. come and be my friend... no judgements here. Just like you...need good friends in my life...but one thing okay...keep your label-maker at home and look past the surface...that's what 'myspace' is about isn't it? telling eachother our stories and understanding and seeing your friends in a different light. There is actually more to me than the words you have written across my forehead. If you know me...you know the depths of disgusting mud I have rolled in, but even Jesus used mud to help a man see! That is where I am in my life right now...getting cleaned up from the inside out. I am a guy who wants to make a difference while I am alive. I believe in a loving God who desperately wants us to know him intimately. I am realizing that life can surprise you with 2nd and 77nd chances and that its never too late to get on the path you were meant to be on. I'm not ever gonna be the cool guy you want at your parties, more of a introverted dreamer who's better at one on one conversations. I definitely love everyone I meet in some way because there is good in anyone, like to be real, trying to figure this "life" thing out. The smile on my face hides a lot of hard, difficult years, hurts and imperfections all that make up part of who I am. I am not on here to date, flirt, or hook up. I want to meet others out there that are swimming in deeper waters and don't know all the secrets of the universe just yet. I am still trying to learn who I am, I am still making mistakes and trying to see the purpose on the path I am called to. I have two dogs a golden named Whitey (a rescue) and a black lab named (Earnest) after Hemingway (the runt of twelve whose mom I found on the street. They never stop lovin. Go get a rescue dog! Just a normal guy trying to find meaning, give back, and keep up and encourage my friends on their journeys as well....life moves so fast. And if you happen to be a past friend that I have lost touch with, please forgive me for whatever and tell me whats up with you. Lord - let even 'myspace' be yours to bless others by glorifying you. Without you in my life, well..this space and my heart would be pretty void of any 'real' substance, because I know the only good in me is you... amenGet FREE MySpace layouts and more at MySpaceOrYours.net

I'd like to meet:

RIGHT NOW MY HEART HAS BEEN CALLED TO THE HOMELESS, THE POOR, PEOPLE FIGHTING AIDS, AND THE LONELY. ANYONE WHO IS INVOLVED AND MEETING THESE PEOPLE WITH LOVE AND HUMILITY. I WANT TO BE A PART!! PLEASE INVITE ME... LET ME HELP. The friends I grew up with, people who are growing spiritually and want a sounding board, anyone who will make me laugh, people who will challenge me intellectually, encouraging friends, people who are lonely, lost, or depressed and need someone to listen to their story, anyone who thinks they are too far gone (I have been there)...and of course I would love to meet people who have met success and want to share it, and anyone taking 'the great commission' seriously"TO ONE WHO HAS FAITH, NO EXPLANATION IS NECESSARY. TO ONE WITHOUT FAITH, NO EXPLANATION IS POSSIBLE." - ST THOMAS AQUINASamazing.... your heart will change after watchingLove Is Not Love Until You Give It Away

Pan's Labyrinth - a maze of forgetfulness

I saw Pan's Labyrinth last night... what do I think? I am not even sure... lots of graphic blood... amazing imagery, it was like a modern day Chronicles of Narnia but darker and less meaningful; some...
