I do every morning. Currently I am studying the book of Psalms. I initiated a short, daily devotional with five other young men I know and studying for that has blessed me greatly.

I'm also currently reading the following: "Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended", "Calvin's Sermons on Genesis", and "The Holy War."

I was in a courtship briefly in 2008. For the previous two years I had been talking with the young lady and her parents and I thought things were going well. A courtship was begun but one day she let me know that she wasn't ready for something like this and wanted to continue her life as a single for at least a while longer. It was a bit of a blow but God has taught me reliance upon Him through it.

Currently I'm very excited to have met someone on this site and to have begun (officially) a "courtship." She is a remarkable, godly, talented indiviual and I'm looking forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for the both of us.

I have learned from my own experience that there is no "cookie-cutter" method of courtship and that the Bible doesn't give a step-by-step procedure or plan. In fact, I think that He has purposefully given us this amount of freedom so that every experience can be unique and special. We are required to stay within certain bounds but have the opportunity to explore the relationship within those bounds, which is something to look forward to if you ask me!

I've been employed the past two years as an engineer working at a tiny research and development company, working on designing circuit boards that would be swallowed by cows and would transmit their temperature to other circuit boards set up around their pen. This would relay temperature information to the main computer and allow for real-time herd statistics and discovering which ones are getting a fever. I was the only "hardware design engineer" in the company. It was good experience and I did enjoy it.

Currently I'm working for another engineering firm in the area who does contract work for the military. It's been a good experience and I'm very glad to be able to work under some engineers who are far more knowledgeable than I am and who can teach me.

added March 24th Update: Perhaps as a better use of this space: As an additional note, my goal in life is that my life would bring glory to God. I desire to serve foremost in a local congregation, perhaps as an elder one day. My goal is to raise a family and be a loving husband and father. A high-paying job doesn't attract me, what does attract me is a good community with a great church. The importance of a good church cannot be overrated. Additionally, though I originally came from a Baptist background (and understand their position very well) I have strong affirmative convictions on: Exclusive Psalmody, Infant Baptism, covenant theology, and Sabbath keeping. While not as strong a conviction, I was homeschooled myself and desire to homeschool my children, should God ever bless me with any. I fully agree with the Westminster Confession of Faith as a good summary of the Christian faith and reject Federal Vision teachings. There's a lot more but that's a good starter.

added March 25th Completed my Bachelor's degree at the beginning of May and am moving on to a Master's degree, which I anticipate will take until December 2010. I am also very involved with campus activities and my church mainly because I have a hard time saying "no." Though I am getting a Master's degree (D.V.) I have /no/ intention of getting a PhD. I want to work, not research. Academia isn't appealing at all for me even though I do very well at it.

I have been asked by our local session to previously teach a course to the teens in the church on Pilgrim's Progress (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and have also taught, for the last two summers, the children's Sunday School ages 5-7 or so, again which I thoroughly enjoyed. More recently I had the opportunity to teach a Sunday School lesson to the adults class on God's decrees. In each of these I am quite certain I benefited more than my hearers. I also bring Jell-O to all church luncheons, ha ha.

The last four semesters I have been a teaching assistant for Circuits. Since all the engineers (not just EE's) go through this class, it has enabled me to get to know nearly every engineer going through the program in some way. I really enjoy helping people out and I've been told that I'm very patient and good at this. Nothing makes me happier while tutoring than to see a student brighten up as he/she understands a concept. It has also afforded me a few opportunities to talk about my church and the Bible to some of them, which is also very good.

My pastor's son is interested in filming, so I did a few short films with him. Some of them are up on Youtube. Check out the sequels as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMLNuCnwptI
