I auditioned to be an extra Elf in The Hobbit in Wellington, New Zealand-waiting for a phone call saying they want me! ;)
And finally, God never ceases to amaze me. I will never be able to to fully comprehend or know Him, but I intend to spend my entire life trying. Nothing else comes close to the thrill of knowing Him.
