		I'm Steve Lewis.  This used to be my blogging home.  My online home is now at  SpiritFarmer.com.  When this blog was my active online home, I lived in Seattle. Now I live in London, UK. I follow Jesus (poorly most of the time), worship simply, read a lot, watch culture, go to school, listen to music, write, enjoy art, and drink a lot of coffee.
