My Photo
Name:

I am just the next guy in line. I am the man at the streetcorner, the fellow asleep at the back of the greyhound. I am the man at the bank, the guy mowing your lawn because you were sick and I was mowing mine at the same time. I am the kid letting you share my towel at the pool, the guy at the beach handing you the tickets to the concert, the strange guy in the corner of the coffee shop. I am the guy that holds the sign by the side of the road "Because Jesus Loves You." I am the guy changing your flat tire for you, filling your tank with gas, buying you groceries, and helping your kids get school supplies. I am the guy who everyone points at and says "I would never be able to do that". All because Christ has given me strength. I love you guys because Jesus loves me.

Bringing in old writings of mine - Role Models

*These have some worthwhile value, but they have been written over a period of several years*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I realize who I admire in this world. I do not admire athletes, their victories are fleeting. I do not admire doctors, they bring health to people but beyond that are not rememberd. I do not admire Law-enforcement because they too pass. Their actions, true, may maintain rightness and decency in this world, but their affect on the later generations is little. I do not admire Lawyers, law mongering, loop-hole pushing gold diggers that many of them are.

Who I admire are the wordsmiths, those able to write down what they think and believe and feel, those who can say for many what the many are not able to put words too. Philosophers and inventors, Physicists and English proffesors, Linguists and Theologians. I admire those who embody life and expression, those who develop others as they develop themselves. Many of these authors did not live celebrated lives, but lived humbly as their people did, sharing everything and writing what could help others.
