I don't know exactly what I'm going to write, but I'm sure that whatever I put none of you will read it anyway. I could say that I'm a communist, believe that Christ is just a figment of our imaginations and that I'm a regular flag burner and you probably wouldn't care because once you saw that this page was all about me you left. Okay, I'll give you guys a little credit. I'm sure that you've read this far. Just to clear up any doubts. I love Democracy, have a real relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and am not a REGULAR flag burner. ;-)

Here's a few things I guess you should know about me before we get started. My name is Faith Ellen Jacobsen. I was born in a small town in Utah called St. George. I don't remember ever being in the hospital there, as a baby, but I do remember driving by it once going to my Grandpa's funeral. I don't remember how old I was, I think I was 7. But that was the only thing that I remember about the whole incident. Hum... what else.. I'm originally from Roswell, New Mexico. I know that all of you have heard of it. It's the place where the aliens "supposedly" crashed in 1947. I just feel sorry for the 50,000 people who came to the Alien Festival in 1997 for the 50th anniversary. Boy did they get ripped off! Let's put this in to perspective, there were 50,000 people at this thing... there's not even that many people living in Roswell! It's very pathetic. Well, enough about the aliens. I love Roswell. I know that lots of people hate it because it's so small and there's not a whole lot to do. But, that's what I like about it. It's a very relaxing town because you can be lathargic and just enjoy life.. with out all the distractions that cause people to rapped up in life and ignore the simple pleasures. I belive that it is the simple things that make life worth living. It's gazing at the stars, staring at a field of flowers as they bloom, watching the sun set and rise, a simple melody that gets caught in your head that won't go away, a "hello" from an acquaintance, a hug from a good friend, the smell of rain in the morning, and the laughter fo little children. I know that most of you who know me know that I'm a person who always seems to be in a rush and trying to hurry through life. But I do enjoy the simple things, it's what keeps me going.

I left Roswell for college fall of 1998. That was a big change. I'm now in San Diego. I attend Point Loma Nazarene University. This is the most beautiful school in the world. It's set right on the ocean. I'm not one for being on the beach, I've never really liked it. But so far I've enjoyed the few times I've gone and really enjoy watching the waves hit the land from the dorm window. The ocean, in my mind, is sorta symbolic to sin. It looks really nice from a distance, very pleasing. Even as you get closer it becons you to take your shoes off and dangle your toes into the water. Once you have your toes in, you think "Hey, this isn't bad, I can handle it." So you step in a little farther and a little farther. Suddenly you realize that their is no bottom anymore, that your feet can't touch and the waves have begun to overcome you and you can't swim back to the beach. Frigthened you begin to cry out "Help!" It's in that moment that the life guard comes out and saves you from the deathly current. He takes you back to shore then quickly goes out to save someone else. I know that that's not what happens at the beach, but the story has definite parallels to sin and Christ saving us. We were enticed by sin, and He came out and saved us when we called on Him to help us. He was waiting on the beach for us to call on Him. He would have waited an eternity for us. He's just waiting on you to call on Him. All you have to do is admit that you're a sinner and that you can't make it on your own any longer. We're only human, and we are created to be in need. We will always have an emptiness in side that cannot be filled with anything else but the love of Christ. I greatlly encourage you, if you don't know God yet to seek His face and find out how to make your life worth living. If you do know Him, I plead with you to have a deeper relationship with Him. We can never know God too much. The purpose for living is to see how close we can get to the Father. That's where my Christian walk had been failing for the last few years. I was too concerned with how close to the edge I could get without falling off that I forgot to see how close to the center to Christ's love I could get. God has poured out His love on each of us. It's up to us to accept it or not. Well, I feel like a preacher now, so maybe I should move on to a different subject.

I'm studying Biology-Chemistry at Point Loma. I use to think that I would be a doctor when I got out of school. Now I'm not so sure. I don't know what I'm going to do excactly, but it will be whatever God leads me to. I am also planning on getting a doctorate. I believe that if I'm going to go to school I might as well go all the way. There's no half way with me. I'm taking a Political Science class this semester that I really enjoy. I'm going to take another one this coming semester as well. I am really enjoying it and can see myself being in politics for the rest of my life. I don't want to be irrational and change my major because I love the sciences as well. I'm thinking at this point I'll probably just switch my minor to Poli Sci. My minor was Theatre. I've had a love affair with the stage for as long as I can remember. I love being on stage performing. It's a rush that compares to nothing else. The nervousness and the excitement of performing is worth more than anything else. I love portraying various characters. It's a way for me to learn about myself and other people. I've discovered throught the theatre things that I like about myself and things that I want to change. I discovered these things by portraying different characters and analyzing things in them that are similar to myself and things in them that I want to be in me. It's quite exciting and fulfilling. If you have never acted before I encourage you to try. It's like nothing else on earth. Total Exhileration!

I guess I should put some stuff on here about my family so that you can know a little bit about the people that I love. I live (or use to live) with my mom, stepdad, and brother. My mom is the presidents secretary at NationsBank. She's an awesome lady. She has been through lots of trials and tests of her faith and still has a beautiful spirit. I only hope that I can have her spirit. Who knows, maybe I do. She died this past June. I miss her terribly, but I know she's in a better place. My stepdad works for Compressor Systems. He fixes compressors for oil people. Well, at least that's who I think they are for. He's really funny. He always has a joke to tell. Because he's a man he has a hard time telling people that he loves them, but his actions speak louder than words and I can tell that he loves me. My brother can be a pain in the butt, but I still love him. He's two years younger than me. He's a cutie though. We've had our fights, but I know that we're going to make it. He is an awesome trombone player. He's the number one trombone player in New Mexico, and this coming fall he'll be a freshman at Texas Tech University majoring in music. I really admire that. My dad lives in Long Beach. He's been all over the United States it seems. I also have a step brother and step sister. They live in Artesia, New Mexico. They are really fun and I like them alot. As well as a brother, step brother, and step sister, I also have a half sister. Her name is Kelsea. She lives in Oceanside near me. She is four right now. She is the cutest thing! I enjoy talking to her on the phone and seeing her in person. She is so full of life and spirit. Well, this is my non-extended family. It would take me days to talk to you about everyone else!

The people who have helped me in life the most are my friends. I don't have enough room to list the great qualities about all of them, but trust me, they are great people. Here's a few from Roswell: Alethea, George, Desirae, Summer, Dennis, Matt (yes, I include you!), Tamara, Kylee, and anyone else I forgot.. Geez.. I know I forgot someone! Well, I've made some great friends here at college too! Here's to you guys: Bree, Angela, Christina, Joann, Kristi, Jamie... oh, I'm sure I've fordotten people here too! Oh well, I'm just a very forgetful person. There's also two more people I'd like to give a special thanks to. That's Patty and Mr. Castillo. You two have helped me more than I could ever express. I love you both and thank God continuously that I had the pleasure to meet the two of you. I can't thank you enough for what you've done in my life. Thank You!

Well, for someone who didn't have a lot to say I've sure said a mouthful. Thanks for visiting my page! I greatly appreciate it. Below is a picture of me. It was taken over a year ago. I'm the one in the middle. I know that it's not a great picture, but you get the idea!
