About Me

I'm the youth director at Prairie Lutheran Church. I'm also strictly confidential with anything myspace related. I'm mostly here online to be here, not to spy.
Upcoming Church events so you can know and go...
† Every Wednesday - Confirmation and Senior High Bible Study at 7:00
† Every Sunday Coffee Hour cars leave at 9:00 - a chance for java and discussion about the existence of Jesus
† Every Sunday night from 6:30-8:00, just a bunch of fun stuff in the basement. we're currently working on designs for the new basesment!
More about me...
On any of my personality tests I've always been considered the enthusiastic one. I thrive on opprotunities and love attention.
I'm not so good with details, but I love vision and dreaming.
I'm an idealist at heart who's been corrupted by reality just enough to keep my dreams squelched but still occaisionally bubbling out of my mouth.
I love people.
I love talking with them but I'll be the first to admit that I'm a shallow person at heart. There are some people who can carry on a relationship with someone that is so deep that it touches every part of their life... that's not me. I prefer to konw about a thousand people just enough to feel like I know them.
I took a mental exam when I attended seminary (church school). My doctor called me normal with a high energy level, but not enough to be dangerous. If I was a touch more energetic he'd have to diagnose me as "bi-polar, manic only" which is a serious accusation.

My Interests

love to talk to people and ask questions, love the guitar (my red acoustic and blue electric), always happy to read a good book, my wife and I enjoy swing dancing, and where would I be without my gamecube?

I'd like to meet:

I watched a family feud episode that busted me up. the survey question was what historic person would you like barbara walters to interview. the number one answer and the one that no one answered correctly would have made me $20,000 richer... survey result and my answer... Jesus Christ.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Music:

Old school rock, pop, and alternative anything.

Movies:

top 5: Fight Club, Toy Story, Stand by me, Casablanca, Remember the Titans... runners up: star wars (old movies), pi, the birds, braveheart, patch adams (the first half)

Television:

football (any time it's on), house, 24

Books:

I hated reading when I was younger but have developed a strong appreciation for junk novels lately. I read clive cussler almost nightly. my favorite books though... Post Rapture Radio, Harry Potter 3, Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Frankenstein, Anne of Green Gables, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (the last two are direct influences from my wife.)

Heroes:

I'm a batman guy... I always wished that I could be the caped crusader.

Birthday Gospels

I was just doing some web-surfing and came across a fun activity for those of you who are bored and actually reading someone else's blog... you should spend some time in the Bible. Here's the activit...

I tried to make Jesus my friend

Last week I got connected to Jesus on myspace. I didn't talk to Jesus much, but it was really the fact that Jesus was on my team that mattered. I thought that because I looked at his myspa...

Jury Duty

I'm not normally a political person. When I was in high school I did all the debate teams, political party rallies, and government days. But since I went to college I've lost some of that ...
