About me: Learning more, every day...My life is a song, a prayer, a Psalm...I'm learning to find the beauty in the middle of the pain, the wreckage of this world, but also taste deeply the moments of pure beauty, where something from the next world to this comes down if only for a moment...I love deeply those close to me...A young man with his head in the clouds but his feet on the ground...A young man who has lived a pretty full young life...A writer, a poet of the heart, a seeker of truth, believer, raging babbler...
I've been to the valley and the mountaintop, experiencing beauty and pain, sometimes both, at each...I believe that the greatest thing is love but most never come to know what that really means...I'm not sure I do yet either...I'm more sure about my uncertainties than I've ever been...I ask tough questions, both to my friends and my God...I don't give up easily...
I believe that most of this life is a place where we can choose to either be selfish and live for the moment or find true joy, true happiness, by laying our life down in whatever form that takes daily...
And I like to laugh...More so, I like to laugh with others...And the greatest worship is often not in a holy place but in places where light enters the dark and penetrates it, showing us all the wooing that we've been subject to for ages...
Who I'd like to meet: Hmmm....the pope, Bono, John Eldredge, Jim Elliot, C.S. Lewis, Brennan Manning, G.K. Chesterson, Joshua Harris, George MacDonald, Donald Miller, Michael Scott and Jack Bauer. I kind of want to say Jesus but that is sort of a give-in, plus then I'm one of those predictable types that I deplore.
so i deffinantly never returned your call, but i did text you and you never returned that....not that you had to. lol.
but yeah, i hardly have time to breath, let alone make a call to anyone. but try again sometime...i just might answer this time.
what better way to celebrate the winter solstice festival of your choice... than live music?
(also, it is a benefit, so your money will go to a very worthy cause. now that should make you feel better than eating until you don't fit in your pants...)
I don't like Tom Cruise, it was a school project and I wrote about tom and katies relationship. I actually like katie holmes and feel really bad for her that he's going to dump her. :-( so sad
