I would like to meet anyone that finds themselves reading this. Feel free to tell me what brought you to my profile.

Words of Wisdom:

Pray for wisdom. Pray for courage to act on that wisdom. Pray for strength to back the courage you are given.

Believing is more than just making a decision and acting on it.

“With the heart man believes.” Romans 10:10

Believing is letting yourself become vulnerable to a point where you can truly accept something. Believing takes faith. Even though there is an enormous amount of strong evidence proving all that Christianity is to be truth, in the end, just like anything else, there are unanswered questions. Mathematics has no end. Science, along with the foundation it stands on, shifts on a regular basis. Faith. That is what takes.

What is Sonshine At Midnight(s.a.m):

Sonshine At Midnight, as of right now, is an idea that I have had for a long time. You may have seen on some of the videos or DVDs that I have made that at the beginning or end of the video there is a short title that says, "Sonshine At Midnight productions." This is one part of s.a.m that I have already started toying with. My idea is to have a christian oriented company that deals with all aspects of media production. This would include sound, imagery, lighting, film, CG animation, special effects, exc. I have noticed that the majority of christian films are pretty cheesy, and my goal is to eventually have a company that produces films that let people see Christ and christianity in a clearer, deeper, all around better way. One of my dreams is to produce a film that acurrately portrays spiritual warfare for what it truely is and that wakes people up to the kind of things that are going on around us. I have a long ways to go, especially considering that s.a.m is just an idea. In fact, right now it is just an imaginary production company. I guess we will see what the future holds.

What is ever.green:

ever.green itself is the name chosen for the Heritage Assemblies of God youth group in Baxter, MN. The idea behind it is that the term "evergreen" by definition means always green or always alive and fresh and the goal of ever.green student ministries is to be just that. Never dead or dry, but instead we are alive in knowing that Christ died to save us from our stale, dead, rotting lives in order for us to live forever with Him in heaven. That is ever.green.Click Here To Check Out National Youth Ministries

Music:

My current profile song is dedicated to lost and broken hearts everywhere.

Keep in mind that although several of the artists listed below have explicit content in some of their music, I do NOT listen to, nor do I endorse in any way that kind of content. I believe that the ethics and actions behind words (especially words put into a glorified state, such as music lyrics) when taken in, effect ones sub-conscience and eventually, if you listen to those words long enough, you will begin to believe and do what you are taking in. You are what you eat... don't eat garbage!
