Fun House of Mazes and Mirrors

I'm a youth minister, living on the Earth--more specifically, Staten Island, NY. I love ideas. I love to think about things that I've never thought about before. I like to think of the world as a giant kaleidescope that can be turned a couple of times, and all of a sudden, there is something new and beautiful.

I also love Jesus. I love helping people, and I love living a life of love.

I think the most beautiful thing about life is our imagination--our ability to dream. We all have dreams, and it's such a shame to give up on them. If anything, I think that's what God loves to do most of all--allow us to dream BIG, and then show us that it's not too BIG.

I want to leave the world a better place than I found it. Is that too much to ask for? I want to belong. Isn't that what we all want? I want to throw around ideas about anything and everything, because at the end of the day we are not THAT different--and yet, we are completely unique.

Aim at heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’; aim at earth and you will get neither.

C. S. Lewis

This is exactly what Jesus meant when He said, “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.”  in Mark 8:35

If you are trying to gain the world, you will leave it with nothing. But, if you set your eyes on heavenly things, and Jesus Christ, you will learn what it means to have abundant life now—joy, peace, love, etc., and you will have it for all of eternity!
