Sweepin' out the trash

About Me



My Interests

I'd like to meet:

C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, The Lady Chablis

Music:

If it's good, I like it. Hard core, skanky rap IS NOT good (unless it's Too Short). Neither is that screamo crap. Seriously, screaming into a microphone is not music, nor is it art. It's simply screaming into a microphone. Some music that IS good: MR. CASH, Coldplay, Sia, Mazzy Star, Sarah McLaughlin, Duran Duran, Beck, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Avril Lavigne, Etta James, Sublime, Barlow Girl, Jars of Clay, Nickelback, George Straight, Reba, Too Short, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, The Mars Volta, Dave Matthews Band, Sinatra, 311, Staind, Enya, Garth, Jermaine Dupree, old school Madonna, Toadies, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Peter Frampton, The Rolling Stones, & so many classic rock bands I can't name them all.

Movies:

Braveheart, The Patriot, Chasing Amy, Dazed & Confused, Star Wars Trilogies (not so much the new ones), Narnia, Band of Brothers, LOTR Trilogies, Spiderman 1 & 2, The Princess Bride, The Passion, Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Pride and Prejudice, The Family Stone, almost all Disney movies, & anything with Vince Vaughn, the Wilson brothers, Will Farrell, or Adam Sandler.

Television:

RARELY...but when I do tune in, it must be Food Network, History Channel, or Noggin. And I must have Jimmy Neutron.

Books:

Bible, anything by C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Pride and Prejudice, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, biographies, history, autobiographies, & anything that increases my knowledge of the Lord.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ. Our servicemen and women. The Texas Attorney General's office.

George MacDonald speaks

There are many times (especially here lately) when I have struggled with a sense of not feeling close to God.  I find that people put far too much merit into their emotions and don't know ho...
