About Me

"Smile. It makes people wonder what you're thinking."
"Some things have to be believed to be seen."
-Ralph Hodgson
"Ninguna persona merece tus lágrimas, y quien se las merezca no te hará llorar."
-Gabriel García Márquez
"One kiss from you and I'm paralyzed
Our hearts are killing time, they're dying to be inline
The idea of being one with you is the greatest prize
We'll watch each other grow, and step into the great unknown
This is our hope, the seed we've sown"
-Kids in the Way
"We have put so much emphasis on avoiding evil that we have become virtually blind to the endless opportunities for doing good. We have defined holiness through what we separate ourselves from rather than what we give ourselves to. I am convinced the great tragedy is not the sins that we commit, but the life that we fail to live.”
-Erwin McManus
"Life not crowded upon life as in other places but scattered abroad in spareness and simplicity...the extreme clarity of the desert light is equaled by the extreme individuation of desert life forms. Love flowers best in openness and freedom."
-Ed Abbey, Desert Solitaire
"This is true love...you think this happens everyday?"
-Westley, The Princess Bride
"All social classes struggle with the same problems, some people just don't have the ability to mask it."
-Barry Kidwell
"Living life on the edge does not involve sitting on a couch being so doped up you can't move...that's dying."
-Juvenile Delinquency professor, Dr. John Sweet
"I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly."
-Jesus Christ
Live your life. Abundantly.
CARPE DIEM.
live for forever.
I know a man named Jesus Christ who loves unconditionally, believes in me despite my faults, and forgives without condemnation: He is my Savior.
