Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say,
"Blessed be The Name of The Lord"

HELLO THERE. Some call me el segundo. Generally, I go by Adam. Adam's actually my first name - the first of three, actually. I'm basically 20 by now. I work with children at El Toro Baptist Christian school, and with the best bunch of teenagers from the El Toro Baptist Youth Ministry. I understand what it means to be a Christian, and I most certainly am a Christian. I take the Bible literally, no to the extremity of legallism, but to the full extent of the understanding that it is the infallible Word of God.
I'm totally a student at IVC, trying to get all my general ed out of the way so I can transfer off to some crazy higher education somewhere, probably to get some kind of Biblical Studies or pastoral degree.
I am a sinner, and my human nature is in constant opposition with God. Because of my depravity, I have set myself as far away from God as a man could, and I deserve to die - not only physically - but spiritually; I deserve to spend eternity separated from God in hell. However, God demonstrated His own love for us, for mankind, by becoming a man, Himself, and taking on my own sins and dying a terrible and completely un-just death, knowing that not all will come to know Him, but that some will come into a relationship with Him and be saved through His death on the cross. That man is the man we know as Jesus Christ. He died and rose up again - conquering death - and established His church, whom He will soon be coming back for.
I like really silly things, like sunsets and faded colors and cloudy skies. I like the beach a whole lot, but I don't surf or anything like that (not yet... not yet for the past 4 years now :-P). I play guitar sometimes, and sometimes I write music. I love running over street reflectors and acting like I'm macho.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. " (from John 15:18)
