I like hedgehogs. I mean, I really like hedgehogs.

I also like peanuts. Salted peanuts. Unsalted are just... o.k.

I like sitting out in my car during thunderstorms. I like to watch the lightning in the sky.

I like to lie in bed at night and think about life.
I realize how good I really have it.
I realize what a future I have.
I realize that I have the chance to make a difference in the world.

I love Jesus' teachings. It all centers on genuine love: selflessness, serving others, sacrifice, humility, and kindness. In a world flooded with selfishness, greed, and indifference, Jesus' teachings offer a beautiful alternative: instead of selfishness, selflessness; instead of greed, extreme generosity; instead of indifference to the rest of humanity, a love rooted in compassion, care, and justice. Selfishness, greed, and indifference produced the sinkhole we live in; if humanity would follow Jesus' teachings, the problems of the world would disappear.

I wish I were a philosopher. I would be able to use big words and talk about old guys and throw in my own two cents on the "meaning of life" with some authority.

I can't wait to see kangaroos, koalas, and dolphins. I think I will like them more than I like hedgehogs. I like hedgehogs a lot. They are my favorite small, furry woodland creature.

Most of all, I can't wait to help people. I want to spend my life helping others. I think that's why we're here.
