- My favorite quote(s)...
- Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
- Truman Capote
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
-Luke
- If I could live anywhere... (why?)
- Bergen, Norway, a fjord community that calls out the innovative hearts of Scandinavian folk. Its the Seattle of Norway, but I wouldn't mind Seattle or Portland.
- Others describe me as...
- Predictably unpredictable. Ambiguously, "nice." Too artistic for my own aesetic ideals. "She was more a lark than a dove."
- I most feel the presence of God when...
- I'm singing, hearing the words of the institution before communion, and sometimes when I'm reading theology.
- I'm passionate about...
- Helping people cooperate with each other, making sure everyone feels comfortable, challenging assumptions, helping youth ask big questions, developing aesthetic environments physically and socially, understanding what love means, and loving loving loving.
- In the future, I will be...
- "A fibbertijibet, a will-o-the-wisp, a clown."
An artist, writer, minister, English teacher, and missionary.
- My biggest struggle with discerning/following "my call" is...
- Finding a balance between my secular and nonsecular calls.
- A person/people who has/have helped me grow in my faith...
- high school philosophy teacher Ernest Gulner, a seminary student of the Nazarene faith Ryan Quanstrom, the theologian Daniel Erlander, my campus pastor Brent Christensen, the South African Methodist pastor Alan Storey, my campus minister Laurie FoxPetrov, friend Katy Resop, the Lutheran Campus Center family, Holden Village community, grandpa Daniel Vinge, and of course my father, Mark Vinge.
- Because of my faith, I...
- am no longer yielding my joy to an ephemeral score-keeping society. Now I can feel the depth of meaning in the everyday tasks, the pain of others, and the love we share. My hopes turn away from my individual success and turn to God, asking to help develop Koinonia wherever I go.
