You'll be hard pressed to find me without a book at my side or without some token of affection for my beloved Chelsea FC or Real Salt Lake.  These are as much a part of my identity as my faith for the most part.  In my free time I watch soccer, read various books, write on occasion, and ponder the mysteries of life and such. I also enjoy the occasional craft beer or glass of red wine when the mood strikes.

"I am no longer my own, but yours.
Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will;
put me to doing, put me to suffering;
let me be employed for you, or laid aside for you,
exalted for you, or brought low for you;
let me be full,
let me be empty,
let me have all things,
let me have nothing:
I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things
to your pleasure and disposal.
And now, glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
you are mine and I am yours. So be it.
And the covenant now made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.
Amen."
--John Wesley
