About

So you wanna know everything there is to know about me? No? Good. I'm not in the mood to tell you everything.

Do you want to know anything at all about me? Obviously. That's why you clicked on the 'About', right?

1. I was born June 9, 1997
2. I have four older sisters, two older brothers, a younger sister, and a younger brother. I'll spare you the math. Nine kids total.
3. I have lived in Ohio most of my life.
4. I've worked in construction for six years, and have operated lots of heavy machinery.
5. I've also worked in a chemical warehouse for about nine months.
6. I currently work in a firearms store, as well as milking cows on the side.
7. Within my various job experiences, I've handled, in bulk... approximately 5 of the 9 hazmat classifications. 
8. I imagined myself being many things when I was a little kid. Being a dairy farmer in the making was not one of those things. But surprisingly, farming is actually kinda fun.
9. I'm an INTJ-T, 8w9 who is still working on getting away from my disintegration arrow. If you are familiar with MBTI and enneagrams, I just told you a whole lot about me.
10. I hate sand. Like, I REALLY hate sand. And coffee. And flipflops. Those things are absolutely ridiculous. Why do people wear them?
11. I identify as a Mandalorian
12. My goal is to become a sheriffs deputy, and perhaps one day a county sheriff. Or maybe become a rancher. Or possibly start a traveling music band. One of those things.
13. In seven years of driving, I'm on my third truck. Hopefully this one doesn't break on me.
14. I love spending time in the wilderness. Just not sandy wilderness. I'm more into lush forests/jungles with creeks, rivers, and waterfalls. Also, MOUNTAINS ARE THE BEST THING EVER.
15. I know how to drive a manual transmission
16. I have been writing stories since I was twelve years old
17. I have exceeded 100mph
18. I've never been to another country.
19. According to my DNA, I’m ethnically mostly Anglo-Norman, with some German, a little Irish, and a smidge of French. And a pinch of…Swedish? Not sure where that got mixed into the family tree… shrugs Oh well.
20. I exist to collect random factual knowledge and unemotionally impart it upon the rest of the world.
21. I have faced, and BEATEN suicidal depression. If you're facing it, don't give up. I know you can win.
22. I have almost died (a near drowning, long before and completely not connected to the suicidal depression)
23. There are few physical things that terrify me. My incident with almost drowning gave me deep water PTSD, and I can't stand snakes, but other than that, its pretty hard to phase me.
24. I saved the best for last. I am a child of the one true creator of the universe, and it is in His name that I live, breathe, and have my being. I call myself a bard because I write stories and songs. But I write those stories and songs for God's glory. Ergo, I am His Bard.

    This is the way people should write about pages. Everything interesting in a well formatted list without having to search far and wide for it. *applauds*

Though I have it all, I have nothing if I have no love

    In case I've never told you, Ted Dekker is one of my most favorite authors. His work is one of my primary inspirations within my own writing journey. And this week, I'm revisiting his Forgotten Way study. And let me tell you... WOW. I first went through it several years ago, and it impacted me to a degree at that point. But I was also way younger and way more immature. Now, especially with all the things the Lord has been teaching me over the last two years, Ted's insights are hitting me even harder.And that's just the intro chapter that I read yesterday night. Lemme quote you what he said. "The preeminent evidence shown by those who know the Father is this: love . And not just any love, but the unique kind that loves enemies, not only those who show us love in return. A love that is patient, showing no jealousy or arrogance, keeping no record of wrong, not seeking its own and not provoked by another's behavior." This is the powerful agape love that th

Some Dreams Really Do Come True, Part 2

  Friday, June 7, 2024 5:00 am, Mountain Standard Time My eyelids fluttered open after a somewhat choppy night of sleep. Although tired out from my long journey, I had shared the night with noisy neighbors who had no regard for campground quiet hours, and I was forced to listen to calming music through earbuds to get any sleep at all. But that mattered little now. This was my first morning in Colorado! Forcing myself to abandon my blanket, I slipped out of my tent into the cool 50-something degree morning and scrambled down to the edge of the Pueblo City Reservoir. I was like a little kid in an ice cream shop when I saw the endless heaps of shale fragments that lined the lake shore. Unlimited rock skipping! I stepped into the clear water, which was definitely decisively cool, but not outright freezing. I skipped rocks for the better part of half an hour, amazed at how easy it was to entertain myself with nothing but a heap of rocks and a gigantic 4600 acre puddle. But finally, the sun

Thesis on Baptism

Image
       In Matthew Chapter 3, we see an odd ritual being preformed by John, cousin of Jesus. He is dipping people in the Jordan River. We're never really told why he was doing it. It's kinda just assumed that the people of that era knew why he was doing it.      But the fact that we're never told the purpose of this ritual always kinda bugged me. Baptism just never made sense. Really, it seemed a ludicrous thing. And even from a young age, I hated things that didn't make sense. Why do people get dunked in a giant bathtub in front of a bunch of other people? What in the world does that have to do with anything else about being a Christian?       Over the years, I put forth various excuses as to why I elected to not go through with it. Part of my inhibition was the extreme insecurity I had of doing anything in front of a crowd. Especially being dipped in a giant bathtub. Super awkward. But the other part was, I didn't feel right doing something that I just didn'
