My favorite quote(s)...

"Whenever Christ calls us, his call leads us to death...Bearing the cross does not bring misery and despair. Rather it provides refreshment and peace for our souls: it is our greatest joy. Here we are no longer laden with self-made laws and burdens, but with the yoke of Him who knows us and who Himself goes with us under the same yoke...It is He Himself whom disciples find when they take up their cross."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Nachfolge (Discipleship)

If I could live anywhere... (why?)

Dublin, Ireland. Really, anywhere in Ireland, Scotland or Wales - I love the history of the Welsh, Scottish and Irish people. London would be cool, too, but I'd be heading out of the city to explore on weekends!

Others describe me as...

Passionate, energetic, funny, loving, forgetful, scatter-brained...oh, and Christian, of course.

I most feel the presence of God when...

a worshiping assembly sings powerfully about God.

I'm passionate about...

Lutheran campus ministry, education, music, literature, running, biking, being a good parent and loving the heck out of my family.

In the future, I will be...

older.

My biggest struggle with discerning/following "my call" is...

moving hopes and dreams into the realm of possibility and reality.

A person/people who has/have helped me grow in my faith...

was my campus pastor, Larry Meyer. He was my mentor and trusted confidant. Much of what I learned about being a man of faith comes directly from him.

Because of my faith, I...

am assured of things for which I hope, and convicted of things I have not seen (my paraphrase of Hebrews 11.1)
