Favorite Bible Verse
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2
Hope for Redeemer
I hope that Jesus is pleased. That we share his life, his story, his peace, and his healing with the people closest to us, the people we are cordial with publically, and the people it’s convenient to ignore.
About Matt
Grown up in Texas. Educated in Nebraska. After some time out west, now happily back in Texas! I have a wonderful wife. We have a gorgeous daughter (who looks like her mother). I am a UT sports fanatic. I like working outside. If it’s on ESPN or History Channel, I watch it. I wish the alt rock and grunge of the 90’s still dominated the music world. I can never read enough. Teens fascinate me.
