Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

My ICQ Status is and my ICQ # is 2062208. You can check out my ICQ page here.

Here's me (with longer hair...)working at two of my favorite activities...eating and cooking...or is it cooking and eating...? (That's a Johnsonville Brat in my hand, by the way!)

I'm also into gardening, golf, amateur radio N8VCL, music, woodworking...all sorts of things. What's that saying? "Jack of all trades, master of none..."

First and foremost though...I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ, and I plan to attend Concordia Theological Seminary in the future, becoming a second career pastor.

Why?

As we come into the world, we are blind, deaf enemies of God. He has created the world and all that is in it is His, yet we enter in a wretched state of sinfulness, separated from God, and there is absolutely NOTHING in us that warrants anything from God. Nothing you can do or say can make your sinfull status disappear. You just can't satisfy the requirements of a pure and holy God.

Now for the good news. All the work has already been done! The debt has been paid! God sent His Son, Jesus into the world so that anyone who has faith in Him would have eternal life with Him. He loves you. So much so that He laid down His life, put aside His happiness so that you could live eternally with God. God can not abide sin, so somebody had to pay the price for our depravity, and that was done by God's own Son, Jesus. Please look into it. It's REAL, He IS ALIVE! And He's waiting for you, with open arms! Please, send me an email with any questions you may have, or if you just want someone to "talk" to about it. I also know you can find good thorough answers at a Missouri Synod Lutheran church near you.

Here's a directory of some things I have written(or borrowed...or linked to...). `Tain't nothin fancy, just my own ramblings (or good stuff from others) to answer questions I have encountered...

Some Linkage...

• Confess and Teach for Unity A site and email list server dedicated to confessional Lutheranism.
• Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Emmett Idaho, Reverend Michael L. McCoy, Pastor. This is a site with a lot of good stuff and Pastor McCoy is an excellent author to boot! I highly recommend the section on Liturgy and Pastoral Care!
• Xrysostom (The Golden Mouth) This is the site of Reverend Walter Snyder, Pastor and columnist.
• The Internet for Christians
• Crosssearch Like YAHOO for Christians, a large database of web sites. Use caution and discernment on this thing! You're not likely to get porn, but you can't believe everything you read on the `net! :-)

Well lookie here! A Searchable Bible Online. This is really handy! I got the form from The Gospel Communications Network.
