I am here for Friends

About Me

Right now, I am working full time and traveling some on the weekends. God has blessed me with a job that allows me to do what I enjoy doing, ministering to teens. God has given me a desire for a ministry called Restore Ministries (www.restoremin.org) that is geared to teens and youth pastors. A friend wrote, "We lead worship and counsel students in an effort to show them the love of Christ." That is what Restore is all about; showing teens that there is something to living a life for Christ.

My Interests

I like NASCAR, Tennessee Volunteers football, and running camera for the television ministry at my church. I am also a huge Superman fan.

I'd like to meet:

I know that I would love to meet Jesus, my Savior. Take a moment to watch this video below and ask yourself, "What will you do with Jesus?" You can find the link to this video in my Video section.

Music:

Almost anything Contemporary Christian. My favorites include Bebo Norman, Steven Curtis Chapman, Third Day, Shane & Shane, Charlie Hall, Hillsong, Hillsong United, Gateway Worship, Jason Morant, Chris Tomlin, & David Crowder Band.

Movies:

I like just about any style of movies (as is evident by my collection of DVDs). Camp Tap-A-Win-Go Junior High Week 1 July 2-4, 2007

Television:

There is not really anything currently that I would drop everything to watch.Recently, I got hooked on Heroes.

Books:

The Bible, The Calvary Road (by Roy Hession), A Violent Grace (by Michael Card), still not much of a reader but working on it.Currently reading a few books: Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper, Glory Revealed by Dave Nasser, & Praise Habit by David Crowder

Heroes:

My parents are a huge influence in my life.I am not a huge fan of calling Jesus my "hero", but I love the fact that I get to call Him SAVIOR! To know that He gave His life for me, so I could worship Him forever is a great thing. I love that He allows me opportunities to share what He has done in my life.
