Introduction

I teach a couple of business computing (MIS) courses at East Carolina University, and work on computer problems for home users and small businesses on the side. I'm pretty level-headed, take a common-sense approach to life, love animals and the outdoors. Am very health-and-fitness-conscious, am a vegan, believe in natural remedies and in staying away from regular allopathic medical methods (pharmaceutical drugs etc.) as much as possible.

I became an SDA in the late 1970s, then left the church and played the prodigal for a long time. Finally grew up in 2000-2001, and now might finally be ready to take some action toward settling down with the right SDA lady....assuming that the Lord gives unmistakable evidence of His stamp of approval on such a thing, y'know. He's in charge!

Essays

What I'd like to do on a first date...

A light dinner (or lunch) and a walk by some water, filled with meaningful conversation.

My past relationships have taught me...

To wait! Don't rush. Don't get too intimate too quickly. Look beneath the surface and find out who this person is, make sure there's a basic compatibility there before getting too involved. It's easier to get into a relationship than it is to get out, obviously, so make sure you can become (and remain) good friends before becoming anything beyond that.

To me, being an Adventist means...

Being a part of God's last-days remnant on earth. Being different, being called to deliver a distinctive message and not being afraid of doing that, though it may mean standing alone or meeting opposition at times. The truth isn't always popular. Romans 12:18 applies, but so does Acts 4:20.

In five years, I see myself

Buying a house in the country, and moving towards becoming more self-sufficient. Learning to grow a good portion of my own food. Becoming more and more like Jesus in character. Becoming a better teacher and showing more of His ways in the classroom, even while operating under the constraints of employment at a secular public university. He put me there for a reason, that much is clear. Perhaps finding a permanent mate.

My favorite Bible passage is...

II Chronicles 20:20 -- "Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper." With the attacks we see being made on the SoP these days ("The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God"), this verse says a lot.

One final thing I'd like to mention...

I've thought many times that perhaps the Lord has it in the cards for me to remain single for the rest of my time here on earth -- Jesus did, Paul did. There's nothing wrong with that path. (1 Cor. 7:8) But then, it's also occurred to me that maybe He doesn't want that. So why not put out some feelers, and see how He directs things.
