Profile Information

Tell us about yourself: I don't really thing that others "need to know" much about me, but I don't mind putting informative information on here. :D

Let's see, what is interesting about me...

I'm a young, hopeful person who dreams of pursuing an ever-deepening relationship with God. My purpose in life is to help people - protect them, build them up, and most of all, help people out of difficulties/promote healing or salvation in their lives. I wanna be a christian counselor to people(especially christians) in crisis, but I also want to write books.

I've grown up in a christian family; I have 8 brothers and 2 sisters. My youngest sister is two, and my family homeschools. I'm a very analytical person and I just love to think and think about stuff and learn and try to figure out how things work - I especially love talking about thoughts with other people. when I tell people that I disagree, I don't do it in an attitude of "You're stupid and wrong," rather I feel like this: "I have good news for you! It's all so much more amazing than that!" I love music and art, and my favorite place in the world is Disneyland.

I see life as beautiful, God as beautiful, and my favorite title is Servant of the King.

How would you describe yourself theologically?: I am a born-again christian, of course, and believe that every word on the Bible is true. I'm non-denominational, neither calvinist nor arminist, and very firmly so.

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!): Honestly, I can't give a certain answer since I haven't studied every single theologian in the last 200 years. I can say, however, that I enjoy reading the theology of John Piper and C.S. Lewis.

"Easter" Bunnies and Eggs are not evil -or- Please don't promote senseless violence

I know the title's kinda long, and sounds funny, but I think it describes pretty well what I felt like blogging about. I get the whole "OR" thing from Rocky and Bullwinkle, if any of you remember that show, it would always give two possible titles for the next part of the episode.

Anyway, on the actual topic of this post, year after year at Easter, I hear (from various christian sources, church, youth groups, internet, etc) that we need to not lose sight of what Easter is really about - that Ea… Continue

Do you have MySpace? If so, add me at http://myspace.com/derek4yhwh

Second . . .

I agree with you that programming is easy. I wanted to do it because I originally wanted to be a game designer (a desire that went -kaput- as soon as I was saved . . . because that was my idol!). But it is also incredibly boring. At least to me. ;)

I'm going to check out your blog and I hope to chat some more with you some time. If you have AIM, MSN or Yahoo, tell me and I'll add you.

God Bless!

As for myself, I'm on disability for a number of brain surgeries I've had in my life (my last one was in 2006 for a brain infection), but I'm getting back on my feet and re-applying. I want to head back to college and study Theology or Classical Literature with an emphasis in Biblical studies. I'm interested in Church history and things of that nature.

I'm a little "dry" interest-wise (I love studying!), but I also am interested in gardening and I'm a bit of a computer nerd. ;)

Sounds like you and your family are close. Are they all believers? Unfortunately, I'm the only one in my family. :(

BTW, what's your name? You know mine. :)

So you want to preach the Gospel to India? Have you been to India? Where else have you been? I think that's awesome.

When it comes to being outside the country, I've only been to Sweden, although I've lived in Ohio, Utah and Pennsylvania.

Any unique or interesting hobbies? Do you go to school and if so, what for?

Hope I'm not asking too many questions. :)

God Bless.

God Bless. :)

Hence my frustration that I had to say the same things over to the same person when in fact I wasn't. My apologies.

My wife and I homeschooled our 5 children. We are both Rocky & Bullwinkle fans, as well as Flintstones fans, Get Smart fans, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans, and anything else that was designed to work on at least two levels of humor.

I never thought I'd write a book. Now I've done two.

What are you thinking of writing about?

Blessings.
