About Me


MySpace Layouts MySpace Layouts
MySpace Codes
MySpace Backgrounds
I have not yet forgotten how to play. I am greatful for that. I like to try new things. I like to be around people unless I don't. I have memberships to Kimbal and DMA. I can take someone for free with me whenever. Want to go? I am outgoing at first and quiet when you get to know me - a little backwards. I only get angry at people I love. Sorry! I hope for the best in people, which means I am sometimes disappointed, but it seems like a good way to live. I am a dork. I get called that a lot. It doesn't hurt my feelings. Sarcasm does when it comes in frequent/heavy doses from someone I love. I love a lot of people. I like who I am. I am flawed. I'm working on that.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People. People who will stretch me. People who I can learn from. People who can learn from me. People who need people - they're the luckiest people in the world, afterall...
Quotes I Love:
"My journey is marked by moments of silence and doubt. A stiff bed in Kenya. A church floor in Hagerstown. My apartment's carpet. The one lane bridge leading to Tri-State camp. These are moments that horrify me but fill me with a sense of plunging into a divine being that has me by the heart. There is no escape, no reprieve, only mercy on top of mercy and judgement on top of judgement, swallowed up in divine mystery." (Ken Hoch)

"Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of mind with His truth; the purifying of imagination by His beauty; the opening of the heart to His love; the surrender of will to His purpose - and all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin." (William Temple)

"We often ask God to show up. We pray prayers of rescue. Perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be His body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive. I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, is revealed in our love." (Jamie Tworkowski)

"We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting, and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it? It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.

I want to repeat one word for you: Leave.

Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it?

So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed." (Donald Miller)

"It is never too late to be what you might have been." (George Eliot)

Peaceful

It has been one of those nights. Emotionally, I am drained. Spiritually, I feel filled. I had a dream several weeks ago where God gave me a scripture. I could not make heads or tails of the scripture ...
