GOD (Who is before all and is Everlasting), Amazing Grace, My family, friends, A glass of cold water on a real hot day -and cool eve. breezes in the summer...Hot coaco when it’s cold out.... To live a life of unashamed Love & devotion for a KING Who’s ‘Love is of a Jealous Kind.’ People (all kinds), music, the Ocean - Kayak’n (open water and off-white), surf’n & Jet ski’s, anything out-doors, Creativity and film stuff, Jeep’n & anything w/ two wheels and an engine, sports, Mt Bike’n, 4-wheelers, Travel’n/Missions, wanting to want what God wants me to want... -â€He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep, only to gain what he cannot loose.†-Jim Elliott ....Love for the {unlove’able}....
And although I may appreciate a lil Red Wine w/ dinner etc, my taste for alcohol is quickly fleeting, - in that I’ve lost and am seemingly loosing Family and Friends because of it. In ‘The Purpose Driven Live’, Rick Warren states that ‘sin is just Gods gifts being abused or missused.’ It seems we fall apart when it comes to these good things: virginity, alcohol, marriage, money/success & etc...

*To Live like I Love Him, and be a light for those who don’t*
Jude 24’25 Heb 12:1-3 Eph 6:18-19 & 2 Cor 5:14-21~We must Pray to God for understanding;
because our understanding is prey to the enemy.'Alas, the wisest man since Adam ever to live, the one best able to think for himself and endowed with great understanding even said: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." Solomon, endowed with the greatest understanding and wisdom knew that the understanding and thinking of man is only foolishness compared to God ~ for which His matters and affairs are of eternal nature while ours only envelop us and consume our self-centered short lives that are only dust in the wind; an occurrence of things thought, said and done that is tied to each life that makes ONE short and simple decision of purpose ~ our own, or Gods.

Why sing and give credit/praise to all the gifts God's given us and not to Him who's given them?
Songs for/about Jesus are a good way to play -No greater gift of Love is there than for someone to lay their life down for a friend."The stuff of earth competes for the allegience we owe only to the Giver of all good things"-Rich Mullins

Heroes:
Jesus!I found myself often looking to apologetics to reason my Faith. Now, I know this really shouldn't be. I wanted apologetics because I was short on confidence. I was afraid that those I'd be speaking to would not believe the "Truth" as it is. That is/was a CRAZY thing to really be afraid of! There should be a certainty and confidence with assurance in our God - and His Word - The message we are compelled to Live and speak. Walking and speaking as though no odds were against us, yet praying, & studying as though they are ~ our FAITH will assure us "His Word Is Powerful and Effective" and that "It Will Never Return Void" because He is God, and God spoke all things into being. We are told to Live and speak according to what is obeying His Word/what He has commissioned us to; He didn't say we must convince people or to please people with an un-offensive Truth. He did say that we should "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the Hope that you have"...and to ..."do this with gentleness and respect."
Apologetics are great and useful; however, our Faith should not rest on them - that is not faith at all. Faith is substance. If we need substance to have faith -, that isn't faith at all; Faith is not a result of witnessing a substance, rather, Faith is the substance and action of belief for what is hoped for.Me and the boys trick riding
