About Me

"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:12)How true...This is the life I live. Regardless of how much I know, there's always more to be learned. I love learning, I love trying to wrap my mind around the mysteries of who God is. I don't claim to know everything, and even the things I do know, I'm fully aware that I have a limited perspective...like the reflection in a mirror, that's fogged over, after a shower. It's almost like MySpace...you don't REALLY know the person just because you read their profile, or lurked on their pictures. Just because they "ADD" you, doesn't really mean that you're best friends. It takes regular interaction, and face to face contact. I guess that's the way it is with God...we have a limited knowledge of who He is...but one day we will see him face to face, and in an instant, we'll be struck with the mind-blowing understanding of who He REALLY is.Faith is what my life is based on, Hope is what keeps me going, and Love is what I daily extend to others, because He loved me first.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Almost anyone.....EXCEPT those people/bands that try to add me as their friends without sending me a message first. If you truly know me, you'll know that I'm terrible with names....and sorta' bad with faces.....and I've got the world's worst memory.....so don't add me unless you know me......and if you know me...well then drop me a note! I'd love to hear from ya!
