Random things I love:
walking, hiking, biking, eating cookies, designing pictures, painting, reading the Bible.. especially the old Testament, dressing up, riding on boats, flowers, sun-sets and clouds... i LOVE the clouds, my family... i love being with them.. and laughing together... all 4 brothers and 3 sister-in-laws-- Eric, Paul, Chris, Brad, Rachel, Gina, and Jennifer... I love you guys.., traveling to other countries sharing the love of God, dogs.. not so much cats, creation science is amazing, studying religions of all kinds, DANCING! singing, writing songs, writing devotionals on different moral topics, praying for people and seeing them healed.. miracles! or praying for people and seeing them grow into a more loving person... seeing people set free from bad addictions, whether mental or physical, humility, forgiveness, righteousness, sexual purity, a higher level of love...angels.. not so much demons (email me if they are bothering you :(, the beach, ...and ... i'll finish later. :)
Music
Most Christian music... some secular... But what get's me more than anything is worship. Every cell in my body is happy when I'm worshiping.... It's what we were all made to do. It's our very purpose.. and the most fulfilling thing there this. If you haven't discovered this...(even if you have been a Christian all your life) ask someone about it.. Nothing will make you more happy and satisfied than worshiping your Creator... Nothing.
Movies
The Illustionist (Kyle...!), Spaceballs, Top Secret, Ocean's 11 and 12, Dumb and Dumber.. of course.. it's a classic!, Jim Carey cracks me up... I think in every movie I've seen him in. The Queen and the Horse Whisperer literally put me to sleep. I enjoy any movie that makes me laugh... But movies that only joke about sexual humor.. are incredibly un-creative... it's not funny the bazillionth time! Then again.. it was never funny.. :) I also love movies that motivate me to be more than I am right now... or movies that make me think outside my box.... End of the Spear... Let's watch it!
Television
TV... kinda bores/repulses me. I don't really watch it. The 700 Club is good.. and Extreme make-over home edition :D
Books
the Heavenly Man (a man who is alive today who lives a life of miracles)
the Bible... (as in The Old and New Testaments... nothing more.. and nothing less!)
and ohers... too many to list. I love reading.
But one more I must list: The Final Quest, by Rick Joyner. Read it if you want to have more of an understing of the unseen world and supernatural miracles.
Heroes
Jesus...
The name above all other names. The King of Kings.. and Lord of Lords.. That's my God-- who was and who is.. and who is to come. He is the beginning.. and He is the last.
He is my peace. He is my joy. He is my strength. He gives me mercy. He helps me give others mercy. He is my best friend. My only friend who has never hurt me. He has never turned His back on me, nor made fun of me. He is always sincere, always ginuwine, always caring. He provides when I have a need. He listens when I'm venting. He counts every tear. Then He heals my heart when others abuse it. He restores my joy. He makes me laugh.. more than anyone. He makes me dance.. more than anyone. I am no longer bound by a painful moment of the past. --No longer will I let a painful moment of the past dictate and influence my future. I choose God's freedom. I choose God's best for me. I choose LIFE. I choose forgiveness and love. I choose every day to make the most loving choice for another human being. Because of Jesus' love in me, I respect and love every person. I pray for those who have hurt me. I ask God to bless them. I choose to walk as Jesus did, in humility.
I want to tell you about Him.. because He wants to do the same for you.

Never doubt Jesus' love for you. And for that blessing, bless God back by striving to live a rightous life. And never doubt He hears you when you pray. He answers prayers and still performs miracles daily.
I think the rest of my page pretty much gives a good glimpse of who I have become. But to sum it all up: I love God.. who contines to amaze me everyday... and I love people. I hope we can talk someime... "but in case I don't see ya: good afternoon, good evening and good night!"

Laura! I thought of you often this past week. I'm holding you up in prayer. You should call me, not only because I'm close to returning Brad's $20, but because it's been a long time... David
FOR THOUGH WE LIVE IN THE WORLD, WE DO NOT WAGE WAR AS THE WORLD DOES. THE WEAPONS WE FIGHT WITH ARE NOT WEAPONS OF THE WORLD. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY HAVE DIVINE POWER TO DEMOLISH STRONGHOLDS. WE DEMOLISH ARGUMENTS AND EVERY PRETENSION THAT SETS ITSELF UP AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND WE TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT TO MAKE IT OBEDIENT TO CHRIST.
MAY THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD BE UPON YOU, AND MAY YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
yeah - that is a pretty sweet t-shirt!!! I am hanging out with some of your family in India - crazy how God connects things... goodtimes sharing the LOVE around the globe!
We must always remember that acceptance comes from with in our selves, be yourself and act based on who you are. Never react based on another persons actions. Face every situation with love and sympathy, look at it, and ask yourself what can I learn from this? When we start to do this, we then automatically start to teach those around us. Life is a reflection of what we feel. Our feelings can be altered by the way we think. So don't take ownership of the criticism and judgments of the world. Be true to God and yourself and everything will fall in place. God Bless
