You can find my blog either on myspace or here at my Blogger website.

My name is Michael Jewell.  I like to read, work on computers, and hang out with my friends. I'm currently attending California Baptist University where I am majoring in Christian Studies with a concentration in Christian Ministry.

Activities: School is an activity! But beyond that I do geocaching, which is the best game in the world, it's like modern day treasure hunting. I also listen to musicals and read fantasy fiction books and ones about the Christian Church and other historical narratives. Also trying to get the hang of throwing and catching a boomerang
Interests: Books and Computers. Caspar David Friedrich is definitely my favorite artist ever, well, he's really the only artist I like.
Favorite Music: Tran-Siberian Orchestra, Rich Mullins, Moulin Rouge, Rent, Gregorian (the band, not the chant), and Les Miserables.
Favorite TV Shows: House MD, Scrubs, The Office, Bones, MASH, King of the Hill, The History Channel, Anthony Bourdain: No Rservations, and Supernatural.
Scrubs has got to be the best TV show, ever.
Favorite Movies: Shawshank Redemption, Gattaca, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and Les Miserables.
Favorite Books: Sword of Truth Series, Wheel of Time Series, Fantasy/Fiction books, The Bible, St. Augustine, some things dealing with Church History and Theology, good historical, and Les Miserables.
Favorite Quotes: "I can sum up everything I've learned about life in three words, IT GOES ON."
-Robert Frost

"I love humanity. It's people I can't stand."
— Linus Van Pelt

Let there always be quiet, dark churches in which people can take refuge...Houses of God filled with his silent presence. There, even when they do not know how to pray, at least they can be still and breathe easily.
-Thomas Merton from ‘New Seeds of Contemplation’

5 Solas of the Protestant Faith
1. Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
2. Sola fide ("by faith alone")
3. Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
4. Solus Christus ("Christ alone")
5. Soli Deo gloria ("glory to God alone")

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
Jonh Donne, Meditations upon Divergent Occasions

"I miss you so much it hurts sometimes"
JD from Scrubs

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992), spoken by his character Salvor Hardin in "Foundation"
