About Me

Hi, I am James.
My heart is broken for this world. I yearn to see a change, I can easily get angry at the horrific things that are done but all I can do is love; and hope for a change.
Some people see what's going on in the world and start hating the world for it, but hate won't change a thing. My heart breaks for the people of Iraq, for the people in sweatshops, those affected by cancer, children who have been abused -- I wish there was more I could do to change it all. But there is only so much I can do to change this world; so the little I can do I will try my best to do. In a world filled with blind hate I will love blindly -- race, religion, clothes, past mistakes, everything, it doesn't matter -- I will do all I can to love unconditionally.
I wish through my own strength I could change it all, but I can't, all I can do is love everyone I come in contact with -- and hope it makes a change.
At the end of the day -- all we have is hope, and each other. Hate will tear us all apart and get us nowhere. Love however can change everything. Love.

The Bible

Heroes:

Jesus. The real Jesus, not the military or consumer Jesus that most Christian portray. My hero is the Jesus who hung out with the lepers, the prostitutes; the outcasts. The Jesus who loved everyone unconditionally, the Jesus who broke down racial barriers, the Jesus who as an ultimate act of love gave his life to set us free if we choose to accept his free gift.

My hero is the real Jesus
