Jon harris's Interests
General
God, my amazing friends, tech crap, and various other things
Music
I've come to have incredible respect for those whose musical talents are used for Christ's message and do a good job at it, which really could be anything. I'm not partial to style anymore. But in particular, I like Chris Tomlin, Pillar, Leland, Grits, Hillsong, Rita Springer, Jason Upton, Dizmas, David Crowder Band, Devil Wears Prada, RED, Family Force 5. I'm sure there are many more, but those ones come to mind without stretching overtly.
Movies
Fearless, Kung Fu Hustle, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Gladiator, Indian Jones, Star Wars...ummm, yeah. There's probably more. I'm always up for a good comedy, drama...adventure...chickflick (yeah I know, but somehow I watch them)...OH, and old movies kick.
Television
Avatar: Last of the Airbenders, Doctor Who, Stargate SG-1, Prison Break, I do enjoy the occassional House episode, and 24 has become increasingly addicting, and Lost.
Books
Bible, House, Blue Like Jazz, Three Kings, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mixing with your mind, Things Fall Apart,...there's probably a huge list of books out there that I borrow ideas from..but I cant remember them right now.
About me: I'm a christian that looks down on emotional christianity. Though I know emotions were given to us by God to give us a way to express ourselves [God knows I think its a wonderful gift], its a horrific basis for faith. With that aside, I'm Jon Harris, student, volunteer, occasional leader/teacher, Christian, son, uncle, and friend. I've not done much with my life up to this point, so far I'm still a middle class born american living in suburbia with far more privileges than I deserve. But even w/ all of the natural skepticism that I have within me, I'm hopeful to a fault that God will use me to some end at some point. The only step forward I know from here is that I'm going to Valley Forge Christian College to study preaching. I am still eternally hopeful that soon all things will be made clear by Him that saved me from myself. Though I see more negative than positive in this world, as of yet I am still eternally hopeful in the power of absolute Love that pours from the heart of God that eventually all things will see the truth and mystery of God for what it really is. I'm unsure as to what form that will take, but my only desire of my heart is to be apart of it. Even a small role on the support side of things would be worthwhile to me. Though I realize that there are more days of maintenance than there are of extravagance, I'm still looking forward to the days ahead.
And thats me in a nutshell...at least the positive bits.
The negative bits are that when under great deals of stress I can get very short w/ people, I take mockery far too personally, I forget things often, I'm difficult to motivate initially, I've recovered from thoughts of suicide after a miracle of God saving my life, and w/ God's help I'm going to completely beat lust in my life... but still I am hopeful. Hopeful to a fault.
p.s.-my new rant is how the world has placed women lower than they should be. They need to be put back on the pedestal. Appreciated more, and more purely.

Who I'd like to meet: Ultimately, Jesus face to face. In the meantime, I suppose I could settle for somebody of note. But then again, who decides who is of note?
