The Acrid Blog

I have never truly introduced myself, and since I am required to do so for a blog entry for my class I decided it was the perfect time.

Name: Ryan

Location: Texas (and may God Bless it)

Occupation: Student majoring in Education

I am who I am. I am a Christian, my highest priority is following the guidance of God and maintaining a relationship with Him. I am currently in love with the woman I plan on marrying. She is truly a gift of God on my life and has been nothing but a blessing to me. I love books, mostly fiction, but I do enjoy nonfiction as well. One of my favorite authors is Stephen Lawhead, I find his writing fantastic and love his Celtic & Middle Age themes, as some of my favorite fiction is good ole’ Medieval settings. One of my life-long hobbies is video games, I have always played them and will probably continue to play them for many years. I am currently involved in a gaming community called the Hardcore Christian Gamer Association. I am also currently teaching myself to play acoustic guitar, and I know one day I will be a great guitarist, even if no fame comes of it, it is something I wish to do. I want to be a Special Education teacher. I absolutely love kids, and prefer being around them and teaching them as opposed to sitting on my butt crunching numbers, or sitting behind a computer day after day. I plan on having many children of my own and look forward to one day becoming a husband and father and having a family.

God has given me great hopes for the future I have. I do not know what all He has in store for me, all I know is the desires that have found their ways into my heart. One of the greatest of these was originally a single idea, and I must say that it was not originally something I came up with, but the idea of the woman I love. She has dreamed of one day opening a very large, Christian based orphanage in the northern parts of India. Ever since then, this dream of hers has grown into an even larger dream that we both share. Someday, we will not only have this orphanage opened in India, but we will have an entire chain of orphanages around the world, in locations such as Mexico, Israel, China, Russia, Africa, South America. It is our dream, and we have great faith that God will allow us to see this dream come true.

All in all, I would say that all that you have just read is a look at me, my hobbies, and my dreams.

Hope you have found something interesting about me and I hope you come back and read more sometime.

-God Bless-
