No hope? See, that's what gives me guts...

About Me

25, in school . I'd like to do a phd in New Testament Studies, or maybe the 2nd Temple period. Right now, I lead worship at Coast Bible Church . I heard that if you do myspace long enough, you will get a girlfriend. Consider that theory as-yet-unproven. In 2005, I returned from Japan after two years teaching English with the Jet Program . It was awesome, sometimes I miss it. It sure was nice to get treated like a rockstar instead of a nerd.
