About Me

Okay, so here's a little about me:
    My name is Renee, which literally means "reborn", and it's actually very fitting because.... I'm a born-again believer in Jesus the Christ. I'm not perfect by anyone's estimation, but I'm serious about this thing, yall. It's not a game. I'm not saying that I'm a Christian because it's "sounds good". I am a true child of God, striving to be about my father's business. Yes, it is a struggle and my flesh isn't usually a willing participant, but my spirit is willing and always working to put my flesh in submission. I hope to network with others who are also in the stuggle, whether they need or can offer encouragement. Ya heard? I love animals, namely dogs. I have a female pitt and she is my buddy for LIFE. I love my family. I always look forward to spending time with them (and I may even start one of my own some day). I'm a math nerd. Some people do wordsearches and crossword puzzles. I write proofs and study math theorems. Linguistics is very interesting to me. If you think politics and religion are the only two universal "hot buttons", think again. There are some topics concerning language that would pit a room of people against one another--and most folk don't even realize this until confronted with the issue/topic. Because I'm a Christian, I'm "supposed" to read the Bible, but I no longer read out of duty/obligation. I now understand the Word and enjoy the deep truths found therein. Talk about something being "deep"! I love studying the scriptures. There is always an interesting point or truth to ponder. There are some passages I've read over and over, but I find a new perspective from which to view the information each time. God's Word is truly life-changing. It's better than any self-help book on the market. I'm currently a senior in college, working towards my B.S. in Business Administration. I like electronics. I have conservative political views--especially on social issues. I'm silly, goofy, and love to laugh. I like listening to the "Strawberry Letters" on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. I have this useless talent where I can fold my ear inside out. I hate pumping gas when it's real cold outside. Okay, my list is getting real stupid because I can't think of anything else to say right now. I'll try to think of more to add later.
I'm trying to get in touch with all my family--the body of Christ! Get at me!!

Who do you think is the most gifted rap artist EVER? Whose rhymes are so creative that you have to rewind the CD 3 or more times just to hear the way he arranged that last sentence--and then leaves you saying to yourself, "How on earth does he come up with this stuff?" Well, I dare you to compare that person to Knine . This brotha is rhyming about REAL topics that will leave your jaw on the floor. I'm tellin' you. He is always bringing it. Check out his music on his MySpace page and then let me know what you think (you're gonna LOVE "Bottom of the 9th"). He's gonna make you wanna go cop his stuff on iTunes because what is on his page is just a drop in the bucket compared to what you get on the whole CD. In the meantime, check out his video below:

My Interests

Until now, I've lived a life full of so much boredom and "structure". I've never really experienced life to the fullest. I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to let my hair down, enjoy life, travel, find some new hobbies--you know, really LIVE!

I'd like to meet:

Old Friends and Christian Sisters and Brothers

Music:

Fred Hammond is my all-time favorite artist.
Gospel
Holy Hip Hop ( Knine is the MAN)
R&B
Although I like a lot of new skool, I prefer old skool--the 70's is my favorite era.

Movies:

Passion of the Christ
I Am Sam

Television:

The Dog Whisperer
Forensic Files
Bounty Girls
King of Queens
Everybody Loves Raymond
Big Love

Books:

The Bible, of course!

Heroes:

I have many, but right now, I'd have to say my sister, Angie. She has overcome so many obstacles in her life and inspires me to really live life to its fullest.
