Thin {Normal, Average.}

Right on top of the list {Or at least it should be!}

Pentecostal/Charismatic {1 Cor 12:7 - "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal." (KJVu)  KJVu is something I made coined; it means KJV updated by me.  Italics was added by me because the Interlinear in PC Study Bible says this word is an "inserted word.")

Space Shuttle {Okay, OK.  I decided 10 years ago not to own a car.  This may change after year 2000 models are released.  So, there is someone who trusts me to borrow a vehicle; and I rent a lot!  Buses are fine; so is walking.  I rarely take taxi cabs, but when in NY I did use the subway, which means that I take planes.   (And roller coasters!)  J }

I have my own terminal and can call often {Or did they mean transportation.  Just kidding.  This wording was one of the choices I had to choose from on the online form.}

What is your favorite type of music?
Heavy Metal  {OK, so I'm being a bit funny here.  Actually, lots of music qualifies as my favorite, from a ballad to Zeppelin's FIRST album.  (So their later stuff was sometimes pretty bad.  The first album was really bluesy, from slow to fast.  Excellent if you can stand "rock" at all.)  I'm not losing you here, am I?}

I am usually on time  {Well, maybe not.}

Pick a Great Escape:
A ride on the Space Shuttle  {Someplace fun.  And useful.  And educating.}

Thai food  {Now I'm hungry.  Great.  (See?  Sarcasm.)}

If you were to meet someone for the first time, what would be the "perfect" setting? What would someone notice first about you?
The Throne of Grace is the perfect place for fellowship.  {Hebrews 4:16}

Share briefly about your Christian faith in terms of how it started, where you are at now (your involvement in Christian fellowship) and your goals.
A man preached Jesus to me. I committed my whole life to Jesus. I believe I am {we are} complete in Him, but that there may be a wife who will be a suitable helper in doing the Will of the Most High.

Describe your personality and physique. (Here is a good place to make up for not having a photo on-line or telling things photos can't tell *grin*).
Intense and with a dry wit. At times very silly. Average Height and Weight.

Tell us about your sports, hobbies, musical abilities, and pets. Do you have any memorable moments associated with any of these?
Compose music. Write songs and lyrics. Write Biblical essays. Have had so many hobbies in years past, but time is taken up with more pressing matters. Used to love playing team sports (school, competitive volleyball, etc.). Now sports are more recreational (tennis, snow skiing, occasional racquetball, etc.). Frisbee, anyone?  {Computers take up more time than I'd like.  Help, get me outta here!}

What do you do professionally? How long have you been in that line of work? Where do you want to be in 5 years? 10 years?
Production Assistant (Video camera operator) for broadcast of city meetings. I have 3 degrees (Audio, MIDI, AA). 3.91 GPA. Graduated with honors.

If YHWH wills and I live, I plan to:

• Record my own CD(s) in 1999.  {Late 1999 or in 2000.}
• If I don't find a wife - hint, hint - I might go to school for a BA or MA.
• I might go even then! (We would have to pray and discuss such matters.)
• 10 years depends on the outcome - of the discussion, of the advanced degree(s), of the CD(s), of His leadings and blessings, and of serendipity. 10 years is quite a ways away.   {Maybe not so far.}

I definitely want to be far more Spiritual by then!  {Please pray for me, for my growth that is!}

Where are you calling from? Where were you born? What is your ethnic origin or ancestry? List some of the places you have lived.
Been a Seattlite all my days (except for entering into the Holy of Holies!). I wouldn't mind moving somewhere drier and warmer! But it is beautiful here (the dark clouds aside).

My mom tells me that I have French, German, and Irish in me. (And maybe a wee bit of American Indian, Blackfoot, but we're not sure. My mom sure seems to have the features of an Indian woman!)  {She told me recently some other European.  What were they - Mom!?  Guess I have to ask her again.}

Where did you attend high school and/or college? What was your favorite subject and/or your major?
{High school:  Seattle Lincoln and Blanchet.}  I have taken so many classes at the community college and at the University of Washington that if I had a BA by now, I would have virtually about a year of extra credits. My focus was Music Composition, Performance, Audio Engineering, MIDI, and Multimedia.

I have degrees in Audio Engineering (recording), MIDI Music Production (synthesizers), and an AA (Yes, that's three degrees).

I'm interested, maybe, in Multimedia and Web development (and a degree in one, the other, or both).

What contributed most to your previous relationship/marriage not continuing?
No such animal. Never been married. Have gone out with women, but didn't plan to get serious until after 25 (our mom's suggestion). {Gotta listen to mom don't you?} Since then I have yet to find a woman who is engaging - who is my type - and who is equally interested in me. {interested in each other at the same time, that is!}

Believe it or not, I'm looking for Beautiful (inside and out) and Perfect. (Yes, the Bible does teach such a teaching. Matt 5:48, and dozens of other passages.)

Are you beautiful and perfect?

And yet still modest and humble!  {Why, of course.}

Difficult times for me have recently caused me to have to face more anger than I would like - both in others and in myself.  {Disappointments have been difficult for me of late too.}

PRAY, please, that His Peace will grab hold of me, and fill me with sweet Love for His Heart and for His people. HalleluYah! Thank You, Yah!  {Absolutely.}

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be, and why?
I want to change my lack of self-disciple and of self-control. (Why? Because we want to be conformed to the image of His Son!)  {It would be nice to be timely as well.   How often I do one important thing only to find that I've run out of time to do another important task.}

What are some of your favorite artists/paintings, musicians/songs, authors/books and actors/movies?
ARTISTS: Keith Green, Steve Taylor, MWS {Michael W. Smith}, dare i list the secular? (no). SONGS: Hero (S.T.); Those shoes by the Eagles. s.a.d. by me!  {If you haven't hear that first album I mentioned earlier, don't stick out your tongue.  I virtually stopped listening to music after I committed my life to "Jesus" (Yahshua).   For years.  It sounds strange, I know.  Everywhere I would go practically there would be music.  The car, the elevator, the store, someone's abode, assembly, even work!  And keep in mind, I enjoy composing, and would hear music in my heart and mind.  For the past few years I have been playing catch-up, and paying more attention to the works of others.}

BOOKS: The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (excellent adult/children's book). MOVIES: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town; Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. {Did I really put that one in here?  Yeah, it's got a great message, though fancifully told.}   ACTORS: Harrison Ford.

What are some sayings, quotes, or Bible verses that mean a lot to you?

Acts 3:19
Times of Refreshing! in His Presence!!

Jude 14-21
A Voice in my mind/spirit woke me with this reference, "Jude 14 21." Three times It spoke to me and woke me up! And I REALLY needed to read and heed these verses.   {And a similar passage.  These verses saved me from a heresy based on the Gr. word parousia.  If you don't know it, never mind for now.  If you do, you may know what I mean without my having to explain it.  And Jude 14 through 21 answers that issue to a tee.}

Hebrews 4:3,10;
2 Corinthians 5:17; and
Galatians 6:15-16
These passages, for me, answer the works vs. grace debate!  {Read in the KJV or NKJ and NAS.}

If you were to inherit a fortune, what would you do with it?
A fortune: Depends on the form and the amount, and my current calling and His leading.

I desire to see people go door-to-door with the Great News, to every nearby door possible! I would want to employ them, and pay them to do this. What a wonderful privilege and job!!

If He willed, I might want to buy a recording studio, market my music, hire musicians (orchestra, studio, touring) and orchestrators; make videos; do documentaries; ministry-related activities.

And travel would be nice for a change.  {Did I mention investments, house(s), automobile(s), and BUILDING a recording studio?  I really want to compose and record.   Gotta find a place!  Pray I find a great one!}

What is your favorite thing to receive as a gift? What is your dream vacation?
RECEIVE? Giving. You who give to the poor, do you not give to yourself ("lend to the LORD")? Grace is wonderful to minister to others. It is a blessing to the whole Body. Receive? Eternal Life and the Redemption of my body.

"Dream Vacation." I have no vacationing dreams, but to share the dreams of a wife who is a beautiful friend.

Most vacations sound fun to me, or interesting, or edifying, or depressing, depending on conditions of course. I'm getting silly now. Where do YOU want to go? (And why is it a DREAM anyway?)

Any additional comments? Is there anything about you that the questionnaire didn't cover (like the size of your shoes *smile*)

If you're our Father's gift to me, and if I am His gift to you, please help.

I need you.
I have wanted you.
I have longed for you.
I want to embrace you for real!

Being led by His Holy Spirit, you will not flirt with other men.
Please, my Bride! Be holy! Be His!! Be mine!!

HalleluYah! Praise Yah!
