West Virginia

For my Christmas Break of the year 2006, when I was 21 years old, I lived with a family in West Virginia, miles from my 2nd and current college at that time, which was the Appalachian Bible College.

I watched movies and had discussions with the family members, especially with the father who was encouraging me to be more flexible in my life. He would suggest that I am not as picky when I eat. I should eat whatever people give me instead of asking too many questions that may hurt the feelings of others.

WOLBI 2nd Year

Rachel Gasser was not originally going to attend a second year at WOLBI, the Word Of Life Bible Institute. Weeks before the new school year, she wrote to a few of her friends on Xanga. She announced her plans to return. I saw the news on Xanga. She quickly removed her comments because she wanted to keep this a secret so that she could surprise her gal friend with her return.

For me, I have thought about attending WOLBI since I was like 6 years old or so, and why stop half way? I was inspired and encouraged by the 2nd year students during my first year there and I was very interested in getting deeper into social services, ministry, into diving deeper into God's Word. I have wanted to help people since I was 8 years old. I need to dig into my journals and dig out more details about this era in my life.

The Omega Code (film)

The Omega Code (film).

In 1999, when I was 14 years old, me and my family saw the film The Omega Code in the big screen, and I have seen it more than once. It is about the future. It is about a man attempting to take over the world. It is also about this young father who tries to stop him. It is scary.

I also saw Bicentennial Man that year on a Sunday evening. After it was over, I caught the rest of our adult Bible study at our Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, Oregon USA and one at my church told that I should not have seen it and I understand how he feels but I still wanted to see it as the scientist and historian and observer and philosopher that I am.
