I am a Child of God, Servant of Christ, Pastor in Training, Aspiring Writer and Theologian.
I graduated from Radford University in 2006. I worked a year at various temp jobs before I ended up spending a year abroad as a volunteer in the small village of Vrbovce, Slovakia with the Young Adult in Global Mission program of the ELCA. I liked it so much I decided to return Slovakia. I then taught English at christian schools in Bratislava and in Tisovec.
I now live in Columbia, SC where I am a student at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.
When I’m not studying and exploring the mysteries of faith, I like to visit new places and meet interesting people, ride my bike, read an assortment of books ranging from the Bible to science fiction and fantasy novels. I also enjoy watching foreign/independent films and eclectic TV shows.
My faith in Jesus Christ is an important aspect of how I live my life. I am learning everyday that God’s grace is abundant.
“Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.”
Martin Luther – The Reformation guy
“Christ has planted in the world the seeds of something altogether new, but they do not grow by themselves. Hence history has never yet really had a chance to become a Christian creation. For the world to be changed, man himself must begin to change it, he must take the initiative, he must step forth and make a new kind of history. The change begins within himself.”
Thomas Merton
