Crucified in Christ

Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." This is my granpa's favorite verse, and it is evident that he is still living out this verse.

I am wanting to go into education, especially to teach History. I am also using my training at International Baptist College to help my church out as the youth pastor.

You Have A Type B+ Personality
You're a pro at going with the flow. You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer. A total joy to be around, people crave your stability. While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity. When you get into a project you love, you won't stop until it's done. You're passionate - just selective about your passions.

E-mail

I was asked to put my e-mail on my profile so anybody could e-amail me. I would like to do that, however, considering some of the comments I have had to reject already I do not think that is wise. If anyone wants to e-mail me just put whatever you were going to say here. If you wish you can put your email address with your comment and I may contact you through that.

I like the comment moderator

It is a good thing I have the comment moderator turned on. I just had someone cuss me for being a gringo and wanted me to stay home. It is also a good thing I know Spanish or otherwise I would have published it unknowing of its' content. It is amazing the junk people will say and their hatred of God. In my Apologetics class today we discussed mankinds hatred of God and God's common grace. According to my professor: All men are made in the image of God, and men by nature hate God. So to bring a 45 minute discussion to a quick close, ultimately if man were to completely oppose God they would commit suicide, but for God's common grace. God's grace restrains man from being as evil as he could, otherwise there wouldn't be anyone on earth today. There are, however, times when this grace has been taken away from certain individuals, (look up Romans when Paul speaks of Sodom and Gamorrah). I have not completely studied this out for myself, (my prof tends to be more Calvinistic and I tend to be more Arminian), but it made for a good discussion.

I go to International Baptist College in Tempe, Az. We are supposed to be involved in at least one ministry, do weekly visitation, and keep up with a full time load of classes. This semester I am involved in 3 ministries, doing visitation, working full time as a contractor, trying to study, keeping up with my relationship with my girlfriend, (a full time job after dating for two years), and I am supposed to be a room leader in my dorm and a leader in a new orgnization of my school. But I am also supposed to remember that ministry is not doing stuff, but about teaching people about Christ. It is hard to think of ministry as people when it almost seems like just another job to check off my list. Anyone out there have the same struggles?
