LEARNING what it means to be LOVED by God and to love others as HE would want me to, LOVE food with family and friends. LOVE laughing at the same old stories from the past over and again. LOVE bodyboarding because there's something majestic about the OCEAN as it takes me away, LOVE the ones who KNOW me and have STAYED with me. LOVE this life's journey; where HE's brought me from and is taking me.
Movies

Television

O'B O'BRIEN ... who is The O'b-Wan - a true man after God's own heart and a man of deep knowledge. i have learned so much from his life and his sharpening of me. i could only hope to be half the man that he has been to me in my life.
ROBERT n' PAULINE cuz i've seen these two grow in the Lord into young leaders that continue to be genuine before those that they lead.
my awesome bro PHILIP who has challenged me with questions in regards to my faith. he has spurred me on to seek answers and when i can't find them ... to just seek GOD: who has ALL the answers.
praise God for these and so many others who have impacted my life. my prayer is that you find lives such as these that will spur you on in your journey as well!
i BELIEVE that we are each made with a destiny that is shaped by our joys as much as it is by our tragedies but to our own loss, we don't examine it long enough to make much sense of it. some of us will never realize the story that God has planned for us because we've naively settled for the glitz, glamour and temporary worries that is simply the wrapping paper of life. have you unwrapped the gift of life or have you settled and found yourself entangled?
i BELIEVE that if we can name our dreams we can reach for it and coauthor with God a story that will be a beacon of His character and glory ... a story that in its conclusion will be found to be full of life. can you name your dream?
i BELIEVE that God has placed in our lives people that we love and hate and couldn't care less for, but each equally have an impact in forming who we become. the big question is what kind of impact have you made on them?
Hello! I am doin' good, just busy goin' through trainin'. I am currently residing in Washington, but not for long. I'm about to leave here at the end of next week.

What's happening bro? Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. And I'm so bummed about having to miss the apologetics conference. OB told me about me like three months ago and I'd been looking forward to it ever since then. I'm sure that it would have been great though. And I'm glad that the two of you were able to make it at least.
I'm actually back in Redding for the time being. Still trying to find a job here. The interview went pretty well, but it's still up in the air whether or not I get the job. How are things down south?
Well take it easy now. Enjoy the waves while you still can, haha.
Wow, that link to the ifc galleries was disabled by myspace--it's naughty--"very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread." ???
Hello, hello! How have you been? I am doing well, somewhere here in Sicily. =) Ummm... yes, I will be back in SoCal sometime. Not anytime within this year though. Goin' to be sent to Virginia first. I'll let you know. Then we all can get together and hang out like old times. =)
