I've pretty much become a fan of Donald Miller. He is the author of Blue Like Jazz and Searching for God Knows What. He recently released a 3rd book which is a remake of his very first book he wrote. This title is called Through Painted Desserts. I was kind of a skeptic when crusade handed out copies of Blue Like Jazz at spring retreat last year, and I just held onto the book until the summer rolled around. I finished the book from cover to cover in 3 days on a trip in Connecticut. What impressed me the most about this book was Don's approach and his ability to relate and explain some complicated things in ways anybody can understand. He seriously wrote it from a view point of his life. He asks and answers questions that speak to people, not as a person that is this "super church leader" or a "very spiritual guy", but as I normal guy that looks at Jesus and desired to know more about Him and lives his life like Jesus would. I would just recommend reading it. Especially if you are a Christian that was raised in a church, or a person that is trying to seek out this Jesus thing. It will help raise some questions in your head, which God can then answer. Searching for God Knows What is a deeper read and I would suggest any growing Christian to check it out. I'm reading the 3rd one now. I'll blog about it later.
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. ~1 Corinthians 9:19, 22b

Hi Ryan!
I just wanted to leave you a comment. I can't believe you got rid of the beard. I was a fan of it. That's cool that you are bringing it back for facial hair february though. You'll give Hester some competition. Anyway, hope all is well, maybe I'll see you at Real Life tomorrow. :)
Ryan...ur a stud either way...it's inevitable, you can't shave off ur studlyness!
As for the facial hair, I like the scruffy look. Not completely bearded, but not completely shaved off either. You either look 25 or 15, and I prefer the 20 look (aka scruffy).
I am also a fan of the shaggy hair look. Not too long, but not too short (well, I've never seen you with short hair, I might like it, I usually like short hair). Basically in between on the hair length and the beard length.
And you'll find that in life, all that really matters is what Ashley Spitler thinks. So you should take my advice :)
