In my free time, I typically study theology and philosophy with light deviations into psychology, science, and history. I also write on these matters with a stronger focus on Christian theology with the hope that the Lord will see me to publication. Beyond all of this, I am a music lover and frequent local Jazz concerts around St. Louis. I am also trying to relearn how to play the trumpet. My blog is @ http://ministeringinlove.com - my site

"Oh, can I really believe the poet's tales, that when one first sees the object of one's love, one imagines one has seen her long ago, that all love like all knowledge is remembrance, that love too has its prophecies in the individual... it seems to me that I should have to possess the beauty of all girls in order to draw out a beauty equal to yours; that I should have to circumnavigate the world in order to find the place I lack and which the deepest mystery of my whole being points towards, and at the next moment you are so near to me, filling my spirit so powerfully that I am transfigured for myself, and feel that it's good to be here." Kierkegaard's Journal
