My Interests

i luv music, poetry, pictures, art, memories, coffee and good conversation... true dialogue. i love our creator and the gift of creativity He gave each of us... and to see Him glorified through our expression of worship to Him... oh and the joys of discovering Him through His revelation to us, his children, through creation!!! and it is lovely to see others discover Him as well... i just hope that my life in some way aids this discovery for someone... just to be a fresh glass of cool refreshing water for a dry and thirsty soul...

I'd like to meet:

the one who will make life worth living and invest in the futures of our children: teaching them the love of God and how he meant this life to be.as well as a bass player who needs to write and play music with me and my friend lee in order to fulfill the reason we are on this earth: to glorify the one who created us and the music inside us, and to tell the world there IS more to this life!
