My Interests

Mandy... :) otherwise, students and all that's happening in their lives, running, hiking, bicycling, college basketball, raquetball, middle school and high school football (follow the Panthers and the Heels when i can), music, pop culture in general, politics (it's important to know the men and women who represent us and what they're doing), movies that actually tell a story and make you think, video games that require more than just a desire to maim, kill or destroy--can you tell i have an axe to grind there--people who are deep thinkers, who can challenge me to a deeper understanding of the world...

I'd like to meet:

(in no particular order) Dietrich Bonhoeffer; President George W.

Music:



Heroes:

Jesus; Paul the Apostle; Stephen, the first Christian Martyr; Daniel, who stood true in the middle of the den of lions; Mike Luper; Tony G. Moon; Paul Oxley; Gerald Barlowe; the first four are examples to live up to, the last four helped make me who i am...

Just for Dave...

Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion ...
