I love the Lord Jesus but believe strongly that Christians have misrepresented Him terribly. I live my life for Him, but do not expect the same from others. I take people for who they are, as they are. I want to experience life, not just pay bills and die. My God, my family, and people; that's what's important to me. I'm also intelligent and people tell me I'm hillarious and fun to be around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to meet new people and experience new things. I believe the world is in a place of disconnection and I no longer want to be part of the problem. We have too many homes for anyone to be homeless. The best way to get to know someone is in their home, in their environment. I also believe it will grow my empathy for others which is something that is very important to me.

Interests

Worshiping Jesus, spending time with my wife, meeting new people, experiencing new things, traveling and experiencing different ways of living, cooking and eating. I love watching basketball and football because playing is no longer an option for me. I love laughing and making others laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

First let me say that music is the language of the soul, and I LOVE it! I love all forms, even the ones I don't listen to. I'm a punk-rocker at heart, but nowadays, listen to worship music and Christian rap, mostly, such as Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Da T.R.U.T.H., Flame, Sho Baraka, Grits, Toby Mac, Plumb, Hillsong, KB, Tadashi and Trip Lee, to name a few.

My favorite movie is the Star Wars franchise. (I know that's not one movie.) Also, Yellow Submarine, Fireproof, War Room, Courageous, Kung Fu Panda, A Bug's Life, and pretty much anything that makes me laugh that isn't too inappropriate.

Favorite books: The Holy Bible, anything by Ray C. Steadman, The Wheel of Time series, The Sword of Truth series, The Shannara series, and Get Fuzzy. I love reading and I'm openminded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped off a hundred foot cliff to overcome my fear of heights. (It worked.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love all three and am good at least one of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experience, my sense of humor, my cooking, and random tasks as long as they aren't TOO physical, as I broke my back a few years ago. I'm a good listener and am well-practiced in empathy. I'm also a pretty great story and joke teller.
