I celebrate Jesus, write an essay, read, ride my motorcycle, hit the drums, download music and podcasts, telescope the night sky, walk a forest, hike a mountain, smoke a cigar, grill a beer brat, drink a coffee, play chess, surf the web, observe my environment, listen to talk radio, journal, hot tub, sit in a hammock, take a photo, travel (window seat), attend a concert, sled downhill, kick a soccer ball, watch a flick, and have a conversation. I support Teen Missions Int'l, Teen Mania/Acquire the Fire, Master's Commission, The Christian & Missionary Alliance, Lake Swan Camp, Relevant Media, Passion, Fusion, and Catalyst Conferences, RUF, and the humble, not arrogant, claim that the Bible is authored by God, and for that reason, authoritative truth, the only life, the only light that exists--rejecting the most arrogant of claims that salvation can be found anyplace else. Be encouraged believers, followers, and disciples of a real, although invisible, soon-returning God.

About me: I'm an introverted extrovert, country-slicker, who is from Ohio, California, New York, Maryland, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Wyoming, and Florida. Philosophical Pessimist. Sanguine/Melancholic. Leader-follower. Observer who is not afraid to take calculated risk. Spontaneous to a point. Rational, loner, quasi-independent, submissive, trusting, somewhat naive, a sap, transparent, determined and easily distracted. Bright exterior, dark interior. Reforming . . .
Yeah, I never get on myspace anymore. Facebook is the new thing, ya know! That better be a joke about you being in GV. I miss you! I am looking forward to flying to PA in 2 days!! woo hoo. I want to see snow. love you, Snick
thanks. i'll check out Jem as well! oh and clovercrean= crean (my last name) + clover (irish thing)= semi-clever URL. what is the word you used to use, in high school, that ment "nothing" and was a bit zanny?
yes, a life with one wife, three insane daughters, a dog and a myspace. "can life get better? i submit that it cannot!" (unless you can eat a peanut butter sandwich off a spoon and directly out of the jar)- tribute; brian regan, comedian. if u r unfamiliar with him, youtube him, shamrock. he's good.
unbelievable! to be honest, shamrock, i have often thought, dreamed and daydreamed about you. wait - that sounds a little sketchy. seriously, however, i have often wondered how you were and where the Lord took you. glad you reached out. looking forward to cathching up.
