О себе: | I am a full time real estate agent most of the week and am a youth minister on Sundays. I have the sweetest girlfriend on the planet. For those that don't know me, I'm a unique blend of intensity, serenity, and levity, depending on the situation! My interests and activities are equally as diverse, from art, to research, to water sports, to hunting. This section is organized in the following fashion: 1. Personality type and communication 2. Memory 3. Quest for Truth 4. Philosophy and Life Pursuits (If the length of my "About Me" section is too much, I recommend skipping to this last part) Personality type and communication: I'm a Myers Briggs ENTX (Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiver/Judger). While a natural ENTP, I've become more of an ENTJ over time as I've seen the benefits of planning etc. As a natural ENTP, I prefer for folks to be very direct with me. For instance, if anyone sees any error on my part, I appreciate people telling me plainly whatever they believe that I'm doing wrong or could do better, whether a moral issue, a spelling or grammatical error, or otherwise (Proverbs 9:8). I tend to be rather direct with others as well, so please don't ask me something unless you want the truth! ENTP's are also known for being nonconformists, challenging accepted cultural norms with experience, research, and other data accumulated over the ENTP's lives. I value functional utility over cultural conformity to a higher degree than most, which is at times met by opposition and misunderstanding, particularly among the more ethnocentric. I'm a Strong's SAI (Social Artistic Investigator). At times I delay responses to non-functional emails or messages. Please attempt to exercise patience with me and not take offense. This is one of my major vices. Please attempt to understand that I try to favor what I need to do outside of social media over Facebook and email, and do not always get back to people promptly via these mediums. If I take too long or never respond, it's probably not anything about you and there's probably nothing wrong with what you said so a call or text would be appreciated. Memory: My memory is one of my lesser faculties, which makes for some interesting re-introductions when I don't remember someone's name or face. My weaknesses are matters that I seek to appreciate more in light of the reality of the heightened dependency on the Rock of my Salvation necessary to make up for my gaps (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). Quest for Truth: As a natural ENTP, I love to ask the question "Why?" and am on a constant quest for objective truth. I believe that study, intentional experience, and critical thinking regarding commonly held cultural values is very important in arriving at Truth, meaning, and Love (Agape). It is easy to overestimate the logic inherent in thought and action, while underestimating other factors. It is easy to be blinded by normative experience and status quo bias (naturally denied most often as they occur) among other things. Despite my relatively dogged attempts to counter such bias with diverse research and experience, I am too often blind due to these and other reasons in many regards. Truth apart from relevance is of minimal consequence, which leads into my last and most important segment. Philosophy and Life Pursuits: While my tendency is to chase after pleasure, which I certainly do, I have seen from experience that true joy does not come from such things. The pursuit of instantaneous gratification merely whets your appetite for more. The nations with the highest rates of depression are among the most affluent. I have become convinced that man was born to serve, in a world where suffering, selfishness, meaninglessness, and apathy are integrally related. True joy is found in true Love, a concept rather foreign to our br |

Любимые цитаты: | 1 John 4: 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. Jesus answered, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.- Isaiah 53:5-6 (written centuries before Christ was born. Through the Dead Sea Scrolls we have a copy that dates at 100 BC, 1100 years before the Masoretic text which was our previous earliest copy. These copies are very similar, contradicting the assumptions of some that believe that many texts of the Bible were deliberately and substantially changed over time by the Church to fit its own ends. As in many cases, it is important to look at the data prior to formulating an informed opinion.) Whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for Me. Jesus - Matthew 25:40 True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. - Socrates (while I cannot agree on absolute terms, as is the case with some of my other quotes, I appreciate the thought in relative terms.) Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. - Albert Einstien Every man dies; not every man truly lives. - Braveheart There is no pit so deep that the love of God is not deeper still. -Corrie ten Boom - holocaust concentration camp survivor 1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't Love (agape), I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't Love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't Love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without Love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of Truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. 8 Love never dies. 1 Corinthians 13 Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men. - Boondock Saints It is far easier to condemn your sin than it is to confess my own. - Unknown "What we do in life echoes in eternity." Russel Crowe- Gladiator Religion is what you're left with when the Spirit leaves the building. - Bono The fruit of silence is prayer, The fruit of prayer is faith, The fruit of faith is love, The fruit of love is service, The fruit of service is peace. - Mother Theresa Be the change you want to see in the world. -Gandhi (while I cannot agree on absolute terms, as our desires aren't perfect, I like the thought, especially as our desires align with God's and with His will for our lives in our part in the healing of a broken world.) I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. The materialism of affluent Christian countries appears to contradict the claims of Jesus Christ that says it's not possible to worship both Mammon and God at the same time. |
