| Introduction | I am a risk taker. Why? This is what it means to take a risk. It means you take a chance that everything you give away might be rejected or mocked. But it also means that in that risking and giving you may save another persons life the way someone else saved yours. If we are to lay claim to the power that God plants in each of us we must start taking a few chances and stop worrying what the outcome will be. God gave us everything and all he asks in return is that we do the same so another might live. |
| Interests | The entire creative process, peeling onions, the cathartic experience, death and resurrection, a warm fire, good conversation, the sound of a rushing stream, the thunder of the surf at night on a deserted beach, an evening laced with silence and just life. |
