I am here for Friends

About Me

I am striving to be REAL. There's enough "FAKE" out there. I'm so far from perfect, even though PERFECT is what my brain tells me I need to be. Progress is what I aim for now - change for the good - baby steps to reaching each and every goal I set for myself...
I want to worship God in spirit and in truth - with my whole life - a living sacrifice. I'm making progress, but I'm so far from THERE.
I want to write touching music, play piano amazingly, play some guitar, and sing my heart out. I'm making progress, but I'm so far from THERE.
I want to be healthy, energetic, vibrant, and sexy. I'm making progress, but I'm so far from THERE.
An entrepreneur at heart, I am always on the look out for a smart, creative business opportunity that will lead me closer to my dream. What is my dream, you ask? To have money working for me, rather than me working for money. I don't need a lot of it...I just don't want to be a slave to it like most of the world is...slaving away most of my waking hours...basically wasting life...
I want to travel on the mission field, serve those in need, and teach others how to change their lives. Those things are so much harder to do when you have to work just to survive.
You Never Let Go - Matt Redman
Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle
of the storms of this life
I won't turn back I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming
for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
but until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth
Yes, I can see a light that is coming
for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
but until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

I Am 65% Left Brained, 35% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. Are You Right or Left Brained?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The old me would have said, Tony Robbins, John Maxwell, Donald Trump, or others who are perceived as being successful.

The current me says, I want to meet:

The Poor
The Homeless
Drug and alcohol addicts
Gang members
Prisoners
Diseased
The Lonely Elderly

I want to love the "unlovely" of our culture. I want to touch the "untouchable". I want to carry the burdens of those who struggle every day just to survive. And I want to bring them the hope that is in Jesus. I want to bring His Kingdom into their everyday life, through Holy Spirit power.

"We're all broken people. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

They’re missing the point! (Obama, Pfleger, Wright, and Trinity United Church of Christ)

We keep hearing the pundits and newspeople talking about how the Pfleger thing is not a big deal b/c he is not the pastor of that church.  And that all of this is about "guilt by associatio...
