About Me

Too much to type.
I'd rather tell my story in person.
In Essentials, Unity
In Non-Essentials, Liberty
In All Things, Love

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
-- C.S. Lewis
The truly holy people I've met in my life are really interesting people. They're a mix of the most incredible godliness and at the same time, the most unbelievable earthiness. I know a woman who curses like a sailor, but she's the most holy woman I know. She is! I'm not kidding. We've created this image of what holiness looks like that's just nonsense. Good holy people probably drink too much some times, and have colorful language, and there's plenty of room in the Bible to see people like that. We have to see life for what it is, entirely more complicated then simple. Spirituality is not simple; it's complicated. It gets messy sometimes.
-- Mike Yaconelli

My Interests

The usual... movies, music, books, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody... at least once.

You are now marked on my profile visitor map!

Music:

Anything... even a little country now and then.

Movies:

I'm usually a fan of just about any genre.Some of my all time favorites include: Tombstone, Old School, Hotel Rwanda, Never Ending Story, Goonies, Labyrinth, Clue...Just to name a few.

Television:

Heroes is an amazing show. I'm officially addicted!

Books:

I like a lot of different books. Right now I'm reading 3 books: Resurrection and Moral Order by Oliver O'Donovan, What You Didn't Learn From Your Parents About Sex by Matthew Paul Turner and The Ragamuffin Gospel: Visual Edition by Brennan Manning

Heroes:

Man, there have been so many great people I've looked up to in my life. Jerry, Darren, Mom, Jim, John, JD (the coolest "old" man that ever was). That's just a handful.
