This is Chris and I. Chris is the Beautiful one. I'm the one on the left.
As most of you may have figured out I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I am a retired Marine, having been medically retired after the Gulf War. I attend United Theoligical Seminaryfocusing on a Masters of Arts in Religion and Theology. In Time I hope to attain a Th.D. and become a university professor.
The other guy in the picture is Chris, my loving partner. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
The greatest thrill I get out of life is showing someone that they can do something they didn't think they could do. Because of this I plan to become a professor at a university.
I believe that love and knowledge/wisdom are two of the most important elements in life. Because of this, I find myself continually trying to find something new to learn.
I am currently working on two papers that I hope someday to have published in professional journals. they are as follows:
1) The inateness of speech.
2) God, Jesus, Christianity, The Bible and Homosexuality
The First started three years ago while during my first year at Augustana college, I made a bold statement to my professor and accademic advisor that speech was inate in humans and I tend to prove it. She smiled. Three years later and I am still trying, the paper has been rewritten about 20 times now and with each new angle I look into, I find problems that I can not solve which would result in the difinative proof that speech is inate. But I have learned a ton so I keep trying.
The second paper grew out of frustration of the religous rights continual assult on me because I am gay. I found it rather pathetic on their part that I could go kill for my country and that was all right, but to be gay well that was against everything that god stood for. and to them it was all in the bible.. So I begain to look deeper into it and found that they are wrong.. So the paper is about what the bible says and doesnt say about being gay.
Sounds like a lot,but it keeps my mind active and when you live in South Dakota, that is a very good thing.
