Profile Review Request

I'm a 30 year old male, Christian and looking for a Christian lady. Here's my profile:

The one thing I am most passionate about:
Glorifying God, photography, fishing, kayak fishing, traveling to Europe whenever I can afford it (haven't been since college).

Select one area of interest and expand on it. That makes for a more interesting read than a list.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
A keen and insightful intelligence; the playful sparkle in the eyes, and behind it all an underlying faith in God that provides the bedrock for her life.

I like this. It's not one most important thing, but I like the way it is written.

In my own words
The most influential person in my life has been:

(I would have to say) my Grandma is (probably) the person to put here... She's always been the one I look to when I need to understand people (in a way my parents weren't able to tell me...) smartest lady I know

Take out the waffle-words (in brackets) and leave out the baggage about your parents.

The three things which I am most thankful for:

The Cross
my close-knit family
my close friends

This is the third reference to Christianity. Once is enough.

Three of my best life-skills are:

Finding creative solutions to everyday problems
Remaining calm yet resilient during a crisis
Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things
The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:

That I'm very observant, and generally can recognize when somebody is happy, or hurting, or in need of a good playful tackle to keep them away from my last slice of pizza.(..)

I like this. It's both insightful and fun to read.

The things I can't live without are:

(My Faith) Yes. We get it.
My Family
Good books to read
My computer/the internet
A car
The first thing people notice about me:

That I'm very playful/sarcastic/silly (though I know when to be serious. usually.)

Some additional information I want you to know:

I love the sense of accomplishment when you pull off something amazing. I love the depth of the old hymns, and the simple adoration of praise and worship. The laughter of a baby when you play peek-a-boo, and the gasp of sheer, speechless amazement as you approach the the edge of a cliff somewhere and behold the natural wonders of God's creation.

This is a good selection of random thoughts. I think it speaks well of you.

My interests
I typically spend my leisure time:

My favorite things to do are taking pictures of anything that catches my eye, hiking, fishing, camping, kayak fishing, or, best of all when I get the chance I like to fly (I'm not a pilot but I'll take up any offers I get to fly). I'm no stranger to a good movie, and I absolutely love to read. I recently discovered the joy of kayak fishing, and spend a good bit of time in the summer drifting on quiet mountain lakes with a line in the water and a camera at the ready.

This is good.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

I'm really into epic fantasy type books and enjoy Christian development stuff as well. My most recent read that sticks in my mind is a series by Ted Dekker called the Circle series. It's a Christian fiction series that which starts and ends with book 0 (ie, book 0 can seemlessly either start the series or finish it, depending on how you decide to read it). It was pretty interesting, and had a lot of very valuable insight to offer on our world.
According to my friends:
My friends describe me as:

Good Listener
Loyal
Thoughtful
Intelligent

OK now you've got a great profile. Really good.

Good luck with it!

Yes, I think it's a winner. Good luck!
