Nothing but the love of God can melt our cold hearts and kindle a fire of desire for Him. I'm thankful for the Lord's continual pursuit of me. I like hiking and backpacking, and I'm a serious amateur biologist (but I promise I'll catch up once I've snapped a photo to document the observation). I'm prone to turning conversations philosophical... towards meaning, truth, love, God, beauty, science, etc... I'm an idealist and I find utilitarianism and pragmatism disturbing.
