I am here for Friends

About Me

In a nutshell? Spent a little over ten years as an actor in Chicago. Recently moved back to Hoosierland to be close to family. I just landed a job with an orthopaedic company that makes implants for children and still I find the time for an acting gig every now and again. I stay busy enough to keep out of trouble most of the time and I'm learning as I get older it's better to trust the One who leads, let go of control and try to enjoy the ride. It's not always easy to do and I'm a perfect dummy at it most of the time, but I'm sure tryin...Lessee...things I am passionate about...I love God. I love my family. I love the arts. I love being an Uncle. I love the outdoors. I love talking about the "stuff" of life and I have the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old. (nothing like a good fart joke)A good friend recently asked me what my ideal life would include if I could have everything I wanted, with all the essential elements and no limitations.I'm honestly not sure I know the answer to that. I'm kind of in the process of refiguring that out. I think, truly, I'm longing for heaven.But if I could bring a piece of it down to earth, I think, I THINK, it would be to live in such a way that I wasn't tied down to obligation or my own fears and hangups. The freedom to go where "the spirit" led me - whether it was God's spirit or my own, be in other places for awhile, sing, act, write when I felt the movement to do so and not feel like I was missing something when I wasn't, REALLY reach out and love other people, laugh...ALOT..., and of course I also really, really want someone that sees me and knows me and loves me and invests in me because they have chosen ME, someone that I see and know and love and choose and BELONG to in the same way, someone I can do all of the above with as well as chase around naked....ALOT..., and maybe even make a baby with....and watch grow old....and someday look back on a lifetime of all of those memories and sit on a porch somewhere blowing constant kisses form a grateful heart to God who was good enough to grant me those experiences, and that person to share them with...Yeah, I think that's it. I don't think it's geography or even a career path, though. I think it's more a state of being, or a state of mind. Myspace Backgrounds

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

whoever God puts in my path, I suppose.C.S. Lewis once wrote that it isn't that God thinks we desire too much. It's that He looks on our desires and finds them wanting. So, I'm trying to trust that it's okay for me to still desire much and trust that there is One who knows all that is in my heart and will meet those desires in due time if I pursue Him, enjoy the journey in the meantime and try to trust as best I can.

All She Left Behind

  We stand apart and, briefly, share  a space, share nothing but the air that moves cross the stone-marked field where your mother now rests; two more grave markers, telling a story of wha...

Driving (in progress)

  Shift, clutch, gas toward a place that isn't there (unless I check the rearview mirror),  as Beatles tunes blare,  even though the radio's off. All the passing cars are grey mi...

On the breath

  I miss singing. It's been about two and a half years since I've really sung.  For some of you who have known me awhile, you know I used to have a kickbutt voice.  There was a time in...

Who Do I Belong To

I try to present myself to others as a person of faith, someone who has a deep love for God, and has found His peace.  I try present myself as one who has passion and is, at the very least, on th...

This is gonna be different.  No poetic flair.  Just me being honest, in plain words, just to get it out there.  This is how I feel.  I mentioned I just went through another breaku...
