I love the Lord. I attempt to seek His will for life everyday and through this process I learn and achieve bits of wisdom that God has so graciously given. I am a Young Life leader in Murfreesboro at Oakland HS. GO PATS! I enjoy learning about new cultures and being thrown amongst a crowd of strangers. I am also pursuing an acting career...where that will take me, only God knows...and, I am thrilled to see where He leads me.

Favorite Books

craziness in the acting world...

So, I get cast for this independent film. Seems real cool and all...well, when I auditioned there was some vulgar language, if you will...and I told them that I am not too convicted of using such words, but I must draw the line somewhere or it can get a bit out of hand. They were completely cool w/ that and a week later when they handed me the final script saying that I got the part, the lines were changed to suit my morals. But, I told them that I wouldn't accept the part until I read the whole script...good idea, I know. So...I did. And, its pretty vulgar...like American Pie vulgar. Not so much my character but the characters that are associated are a bit...um, on the wild side. Hint the title for the film "The Wild Side"...well, I'm not too sure if I want to be apart of the film. It would be great experience...and I know I'm not going to have scripts handed to me but, if I'm uneasy about something than that should be the end of the story, right?! Well...God has been good thus far...so, if I'm feeling the way I do about the film than maybe this is alittle nudge from God. Its a great script, don't get me wrong, but just some unnecessary lines and scenes. Um...decisions, decisions, decisions. This is out of my hands and in God's...forizzle.

Wow, I admire you sticking to your convictions like that! I am sure it will all work out for the best. Also it's important to consider whether the vulgarity is glorified or if it demonstrative of character flaws. So do characters that swear look really cool for doing it, or are they full of vice and get what's due to them? Regardless, I gotta say GOOD FOR YOU for sticking to your morals. :)
