A Short Spiel
Trying my best to keep things simple in Northeast Ohio. Years of multi-tasking have taken their toll on me, so I’m trying to whittle away at the distractions that are so readily available in this life. When I let myself take myself less seriously I have a chance to cast some thoughts out on the ocean.
Things that interest me:
– People –Music –Poetry –Children’s laughter –Brokenness –Hard Questions –Truth and Beauty — Stunt kites –Chess –Relationships –Genuine Leaders –God –Web Development –Social Issues –Intelligent Design –Theology –Coffee –Beer –Wine –Good Books –Lifelong Friends
Things that frustrate me:
–Ah, it’s mostly the same list… except for children’s laughter, that’s always therapeutic
Random:
–”He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose”
- Jim Elliot
