About Me

The most important thing about me is that I know Jesus Christ and that I am known by Jesus Christ. Nothing else in life means anything near as much as this. Jesus is a real part of my life and I am constantly being changed by Him. I love Him because He is worth loving. My life is devoted to pursuing Him and His glory because His glory is the whole point and meaning of life. What a wonderful point to have - for He is supremely desireable! I spend the time he gives me as a water resource engineer, a seminary student, and a future missionary. These are the outlets that God has given me to glorify Him. I also get the supreme pleasure of working with amazing junior and senior high students at my church. Tuesday and Sundays are my favorite days of the week because this is when I get to hang with them.

My Interests

I love mountain sports - camping, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, snowshoeing, skiing. I also love playing sports. I run a fair amount. I play on a competitive volleyball team with my church as well as a summer league city softball team. I love reading and watching movies because I love story. I think that story is one of the most important elements to our culture and getting the Gospel message out.

I'd like to meet:

John Piper (I already have once, but I would like to sit down and talk with him), Jonathan Edwards because he was totally sold out for Jesus, my grandmother who died when my dad was 5, my future wife (wink wink ;) )

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Music:

I like Christian music the most. Right now the music that is hitting me the most is David Crowders A and B Collision cds and Michael Card's work. Plus, Third Day and the Newsboys are always a winner. Jars of Clay's first CD is probably my all time favorite disk. I also listen to country some. I like most music to a point. I like listening to world/ethnic music. Orchestrated soundtracks are what I listen to most. I enjoy the passionate compositions of movies a lot. It also helps me stay focused while I work.
