Movie character I most identify with: Hospitaller (David Thewlis) from Kingdom of Heaven... and a quote that tells why: "I put no stock in religion. By the word of 'religion,' I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called a well of God. Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, thank goodness."

Approximate number of epiphanies I've had: Tough one.. probably at least one a year for the last few years... so... 10?

And one of them was: Past being found by Christ, my most monumental epiphany involved a failed relationship and the journey to get past it. I learned more about God's grace and faithfulness in that time than I ever have before. Sometimes it takes tragedy in our life to get our attention for the really important stuff.
