If it can be solved with money - it's really not a very interesting problem.

About Me

HELLO! So, big news in the world of Buerkle - I'm moving! I'm the new Minsiter of music and outreach at Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington, VA! I like...uhh...music...and ministry and Jesus and stuff. As of July 1st, I resigned as minister of music and missions at First Baptist Gatesville, and be packing up all my worldly posessions, and moving across the country leaving on July 25th. While I'm super excited about my move to Washington, DC, I'm REALLY sad about leaving Gatesville. I love the youth, and all my church family there. I feel like part of my heart is dying. But, I know that God has a ministry for me up there, and I'm trying to be obedient. Create or get your

My Interests

Theatre, Music, any type of outdoor adventure stuff...Hiking,camping, skiing, white water canoeing, whatever. I also like to read, and go see movies. Since I'm moving to DC I may have to become a US history buff. mmm...not so sure I can do that...

I'd like to meet:

A girl - but not just any girl - ohh no! I got a pretty tall order: 1. Christian - sorry players! I'm lookin' for a Proverbs 31 kinda gal. 2. Smart - I wanna talk about real stuff. I get bored with "small talk" pretty friggin' quick. 3. Talented - gotta have some musical skills. Or, at least be able to enjoy it.and also I'd like to meet "head" of Korn, hang out with Max Lucado, tell Paige Patterson what I think of him, and jam with Duke Ellington.

OC Supertones, Kutless, Third Day, U2, Garth, Harry Connick, Manhattan Transfer, Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Theiss, John Len Wiles, David Crowder, Dream Theater, Aerosmith, Metalica, Jack Johnson, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Williams, SWING MUSIC!

Movies:

filth - all of it. Except Indiana Jones and Starwars and Braveheart and What Dreams May Come and Dead Poets Society. I'm kinda amovie snob. I like movies,

Television:

I don't really watch TV - I guess I just got hooked on the Lost DVD's...does that count? I like Scrubs - I guess that's my guilty pleasure. I odn't have a brown bear, but Jason's my "Big Bear." LOVE YOU, MAN!
