I am here for Friends

About Me

.. I am one who loves life and wants to live it to the fullest. I am always thinking, always exploring, always open to whatever might come my way. I find myself looking for the beauty in everything and everyone. I'm facinated by people's personalities, by their motivations and their desires. I see everyone as being made in the image of God and therefore I also enjoy seeing how God is working in their life. I see life as being our opportunity to grow in our relationship with God, grow in our love for others, and become the people we were meant to be. My goal in life is to love the best that I can. I want to be the best husband, the best father, the best coworker, and the best friend that I can be.
Life is full of adventure. I am one who can't help but stand in awe of the life and creation that surrounds us. My favorite place to hang out has always been Lake Michigan. I go there to enjoy myself, to take a deep breath, and often to think. There is just something about the panoramic view that touches me at my core. I love to travel and see new things. I am a 'big picture' kind of guy that always tries to see things from all perspectives and take what I can from every experience. I am also a music man at heart. It has always had the power to move me in incredible ways. I play piano often for my own enjoyment. I like long conversations that get to the heart of the matter. I like spending one on one time with my closest friends. I'm proud to be a part of a very loving family and loving my future wife and kids will always be my primary desire aside from building my relationship with God.

Sharing thoughts with God

Tonight was good for the soul...and good for my relationship with God. I found myself restless, even though I had waited all week to have a day that I could just relax. But when it came time to go to ...

I Belong To Him

This song, "Belong to Me" by Grey Holiday, has been one of my favorites all year, but it took on a new special meaning a few nights ago on the Eve before Easter. It was around midnight and I was worki...

Joy in Christ

In a continuation of sorts from my more recent entries, I'm beginning to see ways in which my relationship with our Lord can and needs to grow. I began thinking about all the times when I felt the clo...

I Surrender

God's really been tugging on my heart as of lately. It seems the more mistakes I make, the more He is there telling me "let Me be your Rock." I started to realize a couple of days ago that I've been d...

He will make your paths straight.

Numbness....we've all experienced it. We walk along the streets, but don't see the people on the other side. We wave and say hi as we walk on by, but their lives never cross our conscience. Our own de...

Precious Moments

I've kind of been in my own little world the last few days. I think it's been rather good for me. It's given me some time to just be still and get a better handle on what's going on in my life right n...

In Person

So it's been a really long time since I've written a blog. To be fully honest, I've been trying to get away from the whole MySpace thing. Facebook, too, for that matter. I've really only indulged the ...

One Bleeding Moment

I was hand washing the carafe to my blender tonight when I slipped and the blades cut deep into my finger. Scarlet red blood began to pour out of it as I reached for a paper towel to help stop the ble...
