About Me

I am head-over-heals in love with my Savior Jesus Christ. He has robed me in His robes of righteousness by grace. I'm addicted to studying the Word and hanging out with people that enjoy discussing spiritual matters.I work for Radiant Systems and absolutely love my job. God has blessed me with an incredible manager and a team of coworkers that are like family. How many people can look you in the eye and say that they're truly happy and satisfied? I can and it's 100% due to the Lord's grace (undeserved and unearned favor).Check out my blog and you'll see some random ramblings that may confuse you but will hopefully encourage you in some way.

My Interests

This simple kid is a lover of life! Free time is usually spent hanging out in the Word, kickin it with a variety of friends, trying new exotic foods, and engaging in interesting conversations. Coffee shops and journals have a special place in my heart.

I'd like to meet:

Although I've met them both, I'd love to spend an hour or two with Chuck Smith and Jon Courson. They both have huge influence in my life as I hear their teachings and get excited about spiritual matters.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

I hate country music.Otherwise, my tastes for music stretches across many many genres. This includes classic rock (especially 50's-60's), trance, DnB, jungle, worship music, blues, and many others.

Movies:

If you haven't seen Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, I truly pity you. Go rent them today and watch. They do a very well job in showing why I have a passion for traveling the world alone.Other favorites include The Beach, Pulp Fiction, Clockwork Orange, The Wizard of Oz AND Return to Oz (ya, there's a sequel), etc

Television:

I don't watch television very often. If I do, it's either the Travel Channel or Cops. Watching people get maced is true entertainment.

Books:

The Word of God is a life manual and love letter to me from my Maker. I also re-read "Vagabonding" regularly.

Heroes:

Jesus is the propitiation for my sins. That's a big word. Look it up! In a nutshell, I'm standing before God as my judge and He declares that I'm not guilty anymore because of my sin's penalty that Jesus paid for on my behalf.
