What I do in my spare time:I like to get up way early in the morning, long before the sun, and drink strong Peet\'s coffee with cream. I open my Bible, grab a fountain pen [typically brown ink], a moleskin journal, and seek God. As the Sun comes up and the day dawns I\'m excited to experience more of the journey with Him. i love being with my family, whatever they\'re into, driving in the convertible, riding my single-speed road bike and hiking.
