I am a child of God, and that is extremely good, 'cause I would not be in a good place otherwise. I am redeemed, forgiven, perspicacious, sesquipedalian, recalcitrant yet sensitive, strong-willed yet pondering, veracious, direct yet prefering to avoid conflict, godly, integrity-filled, intelligent, creative, discerning and relational.

I am compassionate, veracious, voracious, vivacious, venerable and very valiant. Voila. I am also artful. Furthermore, [British snob accent] I am indefatigably loquacious. [/end British snob accent]

Seriously, I like words. I am a wordsmith with a quirky sense of humor that ranges from sarcasm to slapstick.

Filling this stupid thing out.

I'm also a novelist (surprise!) who is taking up journalism on the side as he gets established in the literary world.

Forgiving and empathizing. I'm good at lots of other stuff and bad at plenty of stuff, but you'll discover both in time if you get to know me. My flaws are as apparent as my strengths.

"Love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." -1st Peter 4:8 (NIV)

I'm pulchritudinous, intelligent and godly.

A) Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Karen Hancock's The Light Of Eidon, The Shadow Within, Shadow Over Kiriath and Return Of The Guardian-King. Also, Frank Peretti's Piercing The Darkness and This Present Darkness. God's Bible (or The Bible, either term works). Walter Wangerin Jr.'s The Book Of The Dun Cow. Frank Peretti's The Oath is my favorite book ever written by a human. Most things by Ted Dekker. Louis L'amour is good too. Plenty of other things. I like to read.

B) All three Lord Of The Rings, Episodes 4-6 of Star Wars, Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country, Hangman's Curse, the newest version of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, The Visitation, Braveheart, Gladiator, The Passion Of The Christ, The Last Samurai, End Of The Spear, Shrek, Shrek 2, Megamind, What About Bob?, The Man Who Knew Too Little and The Emperor's New Groove. More stuff.

C) Columbo, Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Monk, Star Trek: Voyager, Quantum Leap, Get Smart, Hogan's Heroes.

D) CCM and Classical. CCM especially, although I don't mind Hymns, R & B, Gospel or Christian Worship. For CCM specifically, I love the music of Keith Green, Jars of Clay, Kathy Troccoli, Rich Mullins, Carman, Petra, Avalon, Newsboys, Simple Truth, Audio Adrenaline, David Meece, Amy Grant, Nichole Nordeman, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, 2nd Chapter of Acts, etc. I could go on for awhile here.

E) Shrimp Fajitas and Fruit Mixes. I like meat too. I pretty much eat anything set in front of me that isn't crawling away, but I certainly appreciate good food.

God, God, God, Jesus, Jesus and The Holy Spirit.

Awesome stuff.

Maybe I'll fill this one out in more detail someday.

Okay, fine, here's a bone: theology, epistemology, people, other deep stuff, not-so-deep stuff and things I've watched, read or heard.

Doing stuff or nothing. Yep.

Nothing, you vouyeristic creep.

You want to.
