What new mystery is this?

I am here for Friends

About Me

Okay, it's like this. My name is Dean. My God is my Love. I'm non-denominational (i.e. I'm not Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, etc.). I love seeing people find the one, true and living God, but I do not press my beliefs on anyone (which doesn't mean I won't talk about them, mind you). I'm going to be a youth pastor some day. I really want to change the world. Revolution for the win.I draw and write quite a bit. I love horror (but not blood) and comedy. I like laughing a lot.I am quite passionate about quite a few things. Theology and philosophy are things I value highly. I like intelligence, but you'd probably never know it if you just met me...or maybe you would (especially if you're reading this before you've met me). I like people who are driven and are passionate as long as it is manifested in a manner I deem acceptable.Witty/sarcastic/slapstick humor makes me laugh.My friends own. I like to meet new people quite a bit...but in person.Hot chocolate is really good.I have a very wonderful girlfriend.My God is bigger than your anything.Amen.Fun Dean Things: I can quote at least one quote from just about any good cartoon on television. I drew a zombie teddy bear once. "Communist" is one of the worst insults ever created. Ask Joseph McCarthy. I have cool curly hair. My shoes your shoes. I play a lot of video games. I try to live my life Biblically.Romans 13:11-14 11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!' He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. 'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Heroes:

o Jesus Christ. The man died on a Roman cross for people that don't even care to know him... o John the Baptist. o Paul. o John (the disciple). o Peter. o David (the king). Man after God's own heart. o Solomon. o C. S. Lewis. o Paul Washer. o Most of the pastors I have met personally. I have a lot of heroes, I guess. This list should continue, but there are too many people, and it really isn't that interesting to those that don't know the entire stories, I'm sure.
