The Best of What's Around

I was asked a question last night by ol' ALP. He wanted to know the people that were the most influential in my life, and the people that I influence.

First, the people that influence me the most (In no particular order):
1) Lan. We have good talks on Wednesday mornings about everything.
2) Jeremy Irwin. He models after Christ with his servant natured heart.
3) Aaron Power. Legendary.
4) Julian Arriaga. We have great talks in the evenings.
5) My Dad. He's beginning to talk to me like a man. Our relationship has been through some serious crap, but has been rebuilt into a man to man relationship.

People I feel that I influence:
1) I think that through the conversations, Julian and I give and take from each other...so I think that he might be influenced by me even if just a little bit.
2) I hope that I influence the KV kids.
3) There are some lady folk that I hang out with that I hope I'm influencing. I hope that they look at me and say that guy is striving to be a man after God, and not some loser.
4) I feel that I have influence over some of the guys in the house, even though it seems that I have to be an ass to get them to do anything.

That's all I got for now.
