Not Known for sitting back and not saying much :S

So I've been thinking a great deal lately about what people know me for.

It's easy in some ways to be bland and say that people know me for my career as a teacher or my career and passion for Music. I don't think this cuts it though because even though that is what I might do that obvious to people, there may be many things that they don't know about me.

They might know that I'm a Hawks fan, loves building models of boats or planes, have a fascination with The Titanic or a love of flying and heights. They might not know that I am quite a deeply spiritual person and tend to spend most of my time when I'm by myself study theology and how to apply that to my life, listening to God and what plans He has for my life.

I have always said that I don't go out of my way to tell people about my personal life because deep down I believe it, well a personal life for a reason. I have found that for the last year or so, I have been deeply challenged to share about my life more and more and how my life can help or show others a little more about who I am and what makes me tick.

So I've thought about this and realised that I might be known more for my diplomacy than my thoughts on what the world is doing and what people are doing in relation to their possibilities in life.

Below I have listed some things that I think might help people get a feel for who I am.

* I am a Christian first and foremost. That means that I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sin and that he rose again to secure a place in Heaven for me.

* I don't judge you on your beliefs or your actions in life, for I am not the one who judges... This being said I do believe in INTEGRITY and ACCOUNTABILITY. Both are a two way street.

* I am a musician who believes that through God given talent and many many hours of blood sweat and tears, I have been able to achieve what I have and what I will continue to have in this career.

* As a Teacher it is not my Job to tell you what the answers are, but to help you find the answers. This is more than the classroom. This is life my friends and each day the Teacher is also a Student in a lesson that has no correct answers and has a unique lesson to teach every moment of every day.

* I love my family and I will do what I can to make them have the best possibility to make life awesome that I can.

* I have many people I know, many I call friends and a tiny few that I call Brothers and Sisters in my extended family. It is a lesson in Trust and one that I learnt long ago is not bought, but shown in what we say, how we live and a natural connection to life.

* Life is a blessing and people are inspirational if you let them be. We learn from both the good and bad in people.

* Truth is the bit in the middle of what two people say and what our brain processes. I believe the 7 points above this to be truth.

* This is but a fraction of my thoughts so this will not define who I am entirely. If you want that there is only one way to find out. Hang out and observe!
