where people who REALLY love me buy me things and send them to me: MY WISH LIST (GO ON, you know you want to get me something.)
I have been face to face with many a bear, I have seen a moose come down Sawmill at the Beaver Run Super Chair at Peak 9, I crawled into a bear den and chased her out of camp, I have been attacked by mangy mutt, I have seen the royal gorge from above and below, I have been in a snow storm in Yellowstone, I have been stung by scorpions and chased by snakes (twice), I have survived 3 motorcycle crashes, I have put my fists and feet through assorted walls, woods, & bricks, I have been a hunter & I have been the hunted, I have beaten black belts, I have white water rafted the roughest of rivers, I have been chased by cattle, kicked by rabbits, I have been shot by a cousin, and I am terrified by one thing: becoming a dad in August.
I recently got opposable thumbs, I have always had the swivil action hips!
I like cotton candy, unique sodas, southern fried foods & chinese buffets. I enjoy the occassional fine cigar! I have a beautiful wife & 2 schnauzers. I love tex-mex. i love the boiler room coffee bar and read there often. AND ... I believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside ...and since i am a youth pastor i did it all without cussing or falling off the wagon...maybe
“I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.†Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman's character in Shawshank Redemption) after Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) breaks into the Warden's office and plays an opera record from the prison library over the loud speaker system for every inmate to hear.
"An encounter with a great work of art is a demand to change your life." poet Rainer Maria Rilke
Art, music, beauty, creation all call out to the deepest part of our humanity, they all move in us in varied and infinite ways, but one thing that is certain is these mediums communicate to our soul what words cannot. Deep within us we sense, we know, something somewhere has gone wrong. Aesthetics and the beauty of things create a tragic longing within our hearts to find wholeness, to desire peace, to want to be at rest. Do you sense it? Do you hide from it, run for cover? Does it overwhelm you? Beauty points to a creator, will you seek the source of beauty and the answer to what aches inside you with me. Go on a journey with me as seek to find the source of truth and beauty. Along the way, I think we will discover all that our soul is longing for and so much more.
