About Me

First of all I am a Christian, somewhere between a Pentecostal and Charismatic. I have just graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri with a B.S. in mathematics and I also have a call into a preaching ministry working with youth and college students.

Wow!  It's been almost six months since I've written a blog.  I guess I just didn't have anything interesting to talk about. About a month before the Spring 2008 semester ended at Southeast,...
