  • Music

    Everything but my dream is to have a classic, blues, zydeco bluegrass band. Seriously. Just listen to my music juke box here.
    I do have a special place in my heart for the band in the video though. A lot of reasons including giving me the chance to work with some of the best bands ever.

    Off The Wall Rob Cassels Band


    Add to My Profile More Videos

  • Movies

    I love all kinds of movies, I do reviews for Hollywood Jesus and one of the great perks is finally getting advance screenings. I have interviewed Rob Zombie, Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Jones, and numerous others.
    The Ordinary Radicals

  • Television

    I am a reality TV nut, I like a lot of shows from Big Brother to Hells Kitchen. I like Smallville, and a number of others as well. The following is a video I put together from the 2007 Season of Big Brother 8.

  • Books

    I pick authors more than books, Creston Mapes, Ted Dekker, Dean Koontz, and I could name about 20 others but these are among my favs.

  • Heroes

    I don't really have heroes, if I did I guess I would pick Tyler Graebner a little boy I worked with who had cancer. Tyler was a great model to go after the things you love. Of course I don't consider Jesus Christ my role model, I consider him my leader and forgiver.

    FREEDOM & LIBERTY!
    "Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any
    man spoil you through philosophy
    and vain deceit, after the tradition
    of men, after the rudiments of the
    world, and not after Christ."
    "Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye
    have been called unto liberty;
    only use not liberty for an occasion
    to the flesh, but by love serve one
    another.  14 For all the law is
    fulfilled in one word, even in this;
    Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
    thyself."
    "James 1:25 But whoso looketh
    into the perfect law of liberty, and
    continueth therein, he being not
    a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
    work, this man shall be blessed
    in his deed."

    Philosophy, tradition, or being
    worldly & politically correct will not
    gain anyone the freedom and liberty
    that our Lord Jesus Christ made
    available to us. But when we we
    love our neighbor as our self, then
    we gain great freedom, as we in
    our own way serve each other as
    God has enabled us.

    God bless you greatly .

    Your brother and servant in Christ,
    Pastor Rick

  • PREGNANT? URGENT, READ …Renee O Negative

    Oct 10 2009 9:40 PM

    Hello Dear friend,
    It's been awhile since we have been in touch. Thought I would send you a comment wishing you a wonderful week. It is beautiful here in North Carolina USA.
     
    It is my hope that everyone who sees this will go look at my page and spread the word that I am trying to put out there. It's a very important message for EVERYONE to know---yes, even MEN. You care about women, don't you?
    DO YOU KNOW YOUR BLOOD TYPE?  YOU SHOULD, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE FEMALE.  If you have negative blood type, and especially if you are pregnant my page is a MUST READ.

    So please take a look and request my friendship. If you have negative blood I will likely put you in my top 40 friends and I would love to have comments from negative blood folks to share their stories, good and bad about our blood.
    Cheers!  May peace be with you always......Sincerely, Renee'

    "Psalms 118:4 Let them now that

    fear the LORD say, that his mercy

    endureth for ever. 5 I called upon

    the LORD in distress: the LORD

    answered me, and set me in a

    large place. 6 The LORD is on my

    side; I will not fear: what can man

    do unto me?

    Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is

    delivered out of trouble, and the

    wicked cometh in his stead.

    Romans 8:31 What shall we then

    say to these things? If God be for

    us, who can be against us?"



    To stand strong in this spiritual

    battle is our part, it is God's

    power that provides the victory

    through us who stand.



    God bless your heart .



    Your brother and servant in Christ,
