About Me


I am a happily married man as of Jan 12th!! woo-hoo!
I went to TCU for 3.5 years.I almost have a philosophy degree, just need a couple spanish classes and a math class..but now i just travel around in a big van.
My life dream is to kill a big crocodile with a knife.
I think movies with swords are a million times better than any other kind of movie.

I am broken, foolish, irritable, prideful, selfish, and prone to mess up often.....oh how i am daily thankful for grace
I am Simul Justus et Peccator - -Latin for Simultaneously Justified and yet a Sinner.
"I am confronted by the growing duality within me. In ways, I am becoming a "better" human being but a part of becoming better is realizing how "unbetter" I truly am. And the gulf of this "unbetter" realization grows faster than my ability (inability) to become better. This is a perfect place to be. This growing, shadowy chasm brings pangs of pain but is immediately supplanted by joy in the grace which seamlessly sustains me."
- David Phillips

I just figured out this week that i want to be a treasure hunter when i grow up. I am really good at finding things + there is over 6 billion dollars worth of undiscovered treasure in the ocean. Yall can come visit me if you want cuz i will live on a really cool tropical island and my house will have cool stuff in it like swords i found.

My Interests

ROCK N ROLL, Theology, hunting crocodiles, Philosophy, Modern Art, presupositional apologetics, sittin on porches, green tea, running while listening to Tim Keller sermons, bein a bum with my amazing WIFE!!!
Texas!

I'd like to meet:


Fame, pleasure, and riches are but husks and ashes in contrast with the boundless and abiding joy of working with God for the fulfillment of his eternal plans.
These are my two favorite things in my life:
I really like to go grocery shopping and then when i am leaving the store and am in the parking lot i run and push the cart really fast and then jump on it and ride until i run into the side of my car. Ya thats like my favorite thing to do.
I also try to play guitar and try to pray...
..but i am not sure i am really good at either.

Why!?! pt. I

Sometimes I admire people who don't ask why questions, who only want to know the how of life: How do I get paid, how do I get a wife, how do I make myself happy? The why path isn't so rewarding, if yo...
