Myspace BackgroundsOk. Ok. I'm going to let the next person who tells me I need to update my profile update if for me free of charge! ;)So...yeah. It has been a while since I've updated my page. But...I have an excuse. My life is incredibly blessed but also incredibly busy.My name is Travis. I'm 25.I live in a small town in West Virginia and wouldn't trade my simple, quiet, country life for all the money in the world. There is nothing better than sitting on my front porch in the cool of the evening, listening to birds, spending time with family and friends. You can have your hustle, bustle, mansions, and ring tones and I be as content as can be with my 40 acres of almost heaven. I love the simple life and enjoy looking up into the sky and seeing millions of stars uninhibited by city skylines and smog.I am working in administration as a development officer at a Presbyterian Children's Home in southwestern Virginia. I parented ten boys at a time for 18 months. What a learning experience and excellent birth control. ;) I loved my job...it had its ups and downs, but my kids and co-workers are great. Finally and most importantly, I am a Christian and love the Lord. I fail my Lord often, but am thankful for His grace and forgiveness. God has really changed my heart over the past several years and I am a much more open individual. I love people and like making new friends. I especially enjoy the friends that take me out of my comfort zone. I do not like legalistic, stiff, strict, self-righteous, unloving individuals.
