How would you classify your spirituality? Attempting to follow the historical Jesus.
What is most important to you in your spiritual journey?
Authenticity.
Give us a short description of your prayer life.
My prayer life is constant, meaning I'm always thinking of people and things to pray about whether I'm in the car, taking a walk, etc. Someone once said that prayer doesn't change God but prayer changes us. I tend to think that way.

Do you feel art is an important aspect of being a human being and why?
Being human means having an inborn craving for the arts whether we’re cognizant of it or not. The outward expression of what’s inside of us, interpreting our surroundings through the lens of emotions is not only important, it is essential to being human. This is because we naturally take in the world around us as surely as we breathe oxygen, and it does not pass through us without making an impact. The arts can penetrate all our defenses and reach inside to the core of who we are, touching our common humanity. It is experiencing that connection through the arts that reminds us that we are not vacant robots but flesh and blood human beings endowed with a soul.
Scripture that you've seen come alive before your very eyes:
1 Peter 4:1-2 (from The Message): “Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like Him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.”
Scripture, quote or famous saying that inspires/resonates with you strongly:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
Favorite Color & what it represents to you:
Blue, cuz I’m a moody person. Actually more than that…I love when the ocean is described as “the deep”, since you see many amazing shades of blue (green as well) and it represents to me that there’s a lot that goes on beneath the surface.
