Introduction I'm a communications assistant in new church development for the United Methodist Church. Basically I try to see how we're doing on that whole Great Commission thing everyday. It's a great job. I also write stories for the United Methodist Commission on Communications on the side. Basically, my life is the Methodist Church, but I'm no elder. I tell people I was born into the Methodist Church then realized I was Methodist while reading John Wesley in college (a happy consequence). I graduated from Vanderbilt Divinity School with my MTS in 2011. I love writing and theology. If I can put them together then it's a party. I'm a little new to the blogging thing so a little grace would be appreciated. Here goes...
Interests Reading, writing, biking, canoeing, tennis, laughter, and visiting parks.
Favorite Movies Like any true nerd Star Wars, Lord of the Rings. If it has Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, or Jason Segal then you can probably convince me to go.
Favorite Books How about authors? Jonathan Swift, Edgar Allen Poe, C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Mark Twain, Robert Harris, John Wesley (obviously), Jurgen Moltmann, and John Polkinghorne.
