My Interests

Jesus is my first love and greatest interest. I love music, and guitars, and amps, and climbing (anything), hiking at night, waterfalls and butterflies, tigers, guns, my home, my pastors, and people. All right, this one girl too. Her name is Faith. And I might like her more than my guitar, which we jokingly call my wife. But just maybe. :)

I'd like to meet:

I will meet anyone. Hate me or love me or don't even care about me. My generation is hurting and broken, and they're looking for something real. I have experienced Something real. SomeONE real. Jesus is for real. I make no claims about churches, 'cause they are almost all messed up; nor will I speak of Christians, 'cause we are ALL messed up. But Jesus is for real. He loved YOU enough to die, in the most humiliating manner, to spend eternity with you. Thankfully he didn't stop at death, but God raised him from the dead. He broke the power of death. We can live eternally with him. The "Gospel" gets spoken of so lightly. But here it is in a nutshell. !!!!!Love of a Father--Sacrifice of a Friend--Gift of a Comforter!!!!! ::God loved us. Jesus died for us. The Holy Spirit comforts and guides us.:: For all our brokenness, He has healing. For our pain and sorrow, He has joy. And for our everyday thoughts and struggles and happiness, He has a heart that wants to hear all about it. God is ALWAYS there. He is ALWAYS interested. He loves you more than you can ever understand. He wants to be your perfect everything. Perfect Father, Perfect Brother, Perfect Lover, Perfect Creator. He wants to be your shelter from the storms of life. He wants to hold you when you hurt, and laugh with you when your heart is filled with joy. He knows every caring thing you have ever done for other people, and he knows every time you stole, cheated, lied, raped and hurt others. And he loves you. No strings attached. No prerequisites, and no requirements. He loves you.

Music:

The most beautiful sound in this world is a voice lifted in worship to Jesus. I will play and sing with anyone who wants to worship. But as far as other music goes, it's hard to find something I don't like. Although I do mostly listen to Christian music.How deep the Father's love for us How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasureHow great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the chosen One Bring many sons to gloryBehold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my barking voice Call out among the scoffersIt was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finishedI will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrectionWhy should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom

Grace--The Story of My Life

Ahh, grace.  Nothing more beautiful in this world. Every time I mess up, again, God is just waiting there for me.  He barely waits.  The words come out, "I'm sorry," and he's already a...

When upside down little men dance on the incandescence

I don't know what's going on.  "Just to watch, them all wash away." Sometimes I wish I did.  "Through another day, another child, another chance to reconcile... And sometimes I'm very glad I...

When I run so hard, from truth...failing is truly beautiful

Failing--I hate it.  Never have I been more at the end of myself than these past few days.  I walk with Jesus.  I love him and I surrender everything.  He says he'll never leave o...

Remove the mask. Please.

I wear a mask.  How am I doing?  You ask. Good.  I lie. Who am I? What do I believe? Sometimes I wish it was as easy as undoing a clasp with my fingers.  Just reach behind my head...

I wear a mask...

Sometimes I feel sad. Sometimes I am frustrated. Sometimes I want to close my eyes and dance before my Lover, wholly abandoned to his praise. But then there's this mask. What will other people think? ...

Brokenness

A single tear falls, rolling down my cheek, pausing for a moment on my chin; what will it take to learn?  Why would I wait so long to entrust my heart to the one who will never break it?&nbs...
