we hijacked Rick’s blog to post this description of him
Personality: Very complex, though his most visible attributes are his friendliness, confidence, and fun, child-like joy. Rick is very passionate and experiences the greatest of joys and also deep sorrows. He is extremely intelligent but easy to talk to about just about anything. Often others are given the impression that he’s shallow, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth! He sees the world as a place full of beauty, and has passion for others, a sacrificial spirit, and a love for knowledge. He knows a lot more than he lets on, and tries to keep the focus off of his own achievements.
Natural Habitat: At church, fellowshiping with the brethren, or at the beach, in front of the computer
Dislikes: People who gossip, misunderstandings, disunity, arguments, bad tempers, being alone
Relationships Rick loves his momma. He has a lot of acquaintances and a few very close friends. His best friend in the whole world is Rachel Eyre. His second best friend in the whole world is Nathan Blevins. Kristen Knox has the honour of being the person he calls the most. Pastor Wilkins is someone he wants to be like when he grows up.
