My beautiful, adorable, precious niece Rylee Anne Dockett
ThunderCats - My favorite 80's cartoon!
I'll love you forever, Gaga!
Music
As a DJ, I listen to all varieties of music (see my ecclectic playlist above): Folk, Bluegrass, Country, Hip-Hop, Rap, Punk Rock, Alternative, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Celtic.
I love music! But the most important thing is "What is the artist saying?"
Lyrics are the poetry of our lives!!!
Movies
YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS!!
..
Television
Television may well be responsible for the death of imagination in our Culture. You should let your kids fall in love with reading! But BEWARE! what you put in your mind directly affects your understanding of Truth. Don't let yourself or your children fall prey to the deception of those who do not give their Creator authority over their lives!
Books
I love studying the Bible. Regardless of what you believe about its history or authority, it can't be denied that the wisdom and Guidance in those pages are powerful. I only wish I could live a life more reflective of the Savior presented in those pages!
I also love fantasy and children's literature.
I grew up reading . . .
C.S. Lewis
J.R.R. Tolkein
A.A. Milne
Dr. Seuss
Brian Jacques
Heroes
Charlotte Joseph (My Gaga)
The Patriarchs: 4 Generations
Frank Adams, Donald Adams, Richard Adams, Taylor Adams Joseph
My Parents!
These are the people responsible for making me the man I am today. It takes a village! I honor their love and respect them for their dedication to the Lord.
Maria Adams, Lorrie Joseph, Elizabeth Beck, Cathy Maddox, Holly Valencia
Karl Healton, Forrest Rickard, Kirk Beck, Rick Adams
And also . . .

Survivors of the Holocaust, 9/11, Darfur, child abuse, rape, genocide, poverty, and other tragedies around the world. Their stories are the stories we must hear! Their pains are the pains we must face! Do not turn a blind eye on the suffering around you. You will be judged for your mercy and compassion to the hurting of this world. Bring the love of Christ to the broken-hearted, oppressed, discriminated, abused, neglected, tortured, forgotten, wrongfully imprisoned, homeless, poor, dispised, hated, rejected . . .
