Hey everybody,
I just wanted to let you all know that you have all made a difference in my life. I've been doing a series of blogs recently on people who have influenced me and all of you, "The People of Interference" have made my list of personal influences. You can check out my blog at www.thejournalonline.blogspot.com to read what I said about Interference, especially the FYMers. (Just scroll down a bit past the introduction and the entries on Rich Mullins and Bono, which are somewhat lengthy). You all have changed my life and I appreciate and care for all of you.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to let people share who has made a difference in your life, in particular, writers, authors, artists, politicians, or other public figures. (In my blog, I devoted several entries to close friends, family, and teachers and so on but I thought that it might be more interesting to talk about people that we all (or most of us )know rather than a list of names that might mean a lot to the individual posting but who won't mean much to anyone else. ) It's up to you though, just write a few thoughts on the people who have influenced you and how they did so. You're also welcome to share specific films, books, or other things that have influenced the way you think and view the world.
My list, which you can read about in detail on my blog is:
Rich Mullins--singer/songwriter who best represents and most influences my views on what it means to be a believer.
Bono--I think we all know who he is. He probably best represents where I am right now in my life now. His real, rough-edged faith has influenced me greatly.
The People of Interference--You guys have literally opened my view of the world!
Keith Robertson--I started writing a journal when I was eleven years old thanks to his series of books.
Keith Green--I've been motivated by his remarkably passionate Christian life.
Dwight Nelson--This pastor has greatly influenced the way that I speak (I do preach on occasion--in an actual pulpit, though, not my usual pontificating here) and also has revolutionized my personal spiritual disciplines.
John Grisham--Serves as a role model for me as a Christian writer who puts the story first.
