Name: Russ
Country: United States
State: Michigan
Metro: Lansing
Birthday: 11/19/1977
Gender: Male


Interests: Good books, deep talks, coffeeshops (especially Beaners!), quality time with friends, nature, backpacking, painting, cooking, organic foods, Hebrew language, Israel, South youth group, road trips, adventures, etc. I love digging down deep to the roots of the mysteries of life. I strive to be real, to love God and people, and to put my faith into action. I'm passionate about spiritual things, social justice, environmental stewardship, changing the world one life at a time, and coffee!
Expertise: Well, hard to know what exactly to classify as 'expertise' but if I had to guess, I would say my expertise is primarily in building and painting walls and such but I also have some kudos in such things as international trade, international law, third-world country economics, sustainable development, environmental issues, fair trade (esp. coffee), and the occassional conspiracy theory.

Yes, folks, I am still alive.  For various reasons, I've chosen not to post much.  However, I will continue to post quotes, etc. on my AWordInDueSeason xanga, so you should subscribe to that!

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
-Henry Nouwen


[Thanks for the great comments on my last post.  They really meant a lot to me and I am so thankful for all of you!]
