I blatantly stole this idea from Joel…what can I say, he’s a smart guy.

- Favorite bands in high school: DC Talk, Bush, Blessed Union of Souls, Oleander
- I agree with David Letterman’s view of cell phones. “I don’t like them. They make my ear hot. ”
- when my $12 shoes from Walmart died last week, I was REALLY sad.
- I’ve been mentally scarred by the “too naked” guys in the YMCA locker room. (refer to Seinfeld for the definition of “too naked”)
- After I work out, I flex in the mirror.
- Favorite bands in college: Third Eye Blind, Tonic, Third Day, Chasing Furies
- Amber makes me feel secure. There’s something so freeing when you know you’re accepted without reservation.
- For some reason, I almost take pride in the fact that I grew up in the 4th most dangerous city in America.
- I really like snow…but I don’t really like how it gets all cold and dark in the winter. It brings out my rarely seen cynical side.
- I sin too much.

- Late at night, long after he’s gone to bed, I often get the urge to go wake up Gibson just so I can see him and hold him. I used to think it was so cheesy when parents said that kind of stuff. Now I’m that guy…and I’m proud of it.
- I often wonder if I have the ability to do what’s coming in the future.
- If I weren’t me, I would read this list and think I was weird.

it’s a beautiful feeling
to know you’re FORGIVEN
to know the weight of the world
is no longer on your shoulders

we are made free
in our new identity
liberation and release
we are FREE

EDIT: added 12/14 - 4:30pm

just to be HELD
by the supernatural
to know our dependence is on
something so much greater

we are made free
in our new identity
liberation and release
we are FREE
