Hey everyone,
My name is Ian Smith. I’m seventeen years old, in my first semester of community college in particular and public school in general, and looking forward to transferring next fall to a four-year college with the hopes of studying theology, literature, and ancient languages.
My twin brother and I are the oldest of five children under the stewardship of two godly parents. We live near the outer edge of beautiful Geneva, Illinois, one of Chicago’s westernmost suburbs. God has filled our home with His gospel for as long as I have been alive, and in His grace has always provided us faithful churches (currently Grace Covenant Church in Elgin, IL) committed to ministering biblical truth. If natural revelation alone leaves all men without excuse, how much more so am I if I fail to heed what I have received from the very Word of God? Though there are times when my heart’s loyalty to the Lord who bought me wavers, and seasons of faith and hope grown dim, He who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it. I look forward to the day when no created thing or rebel thought will distract my heart from the King of Glory; the day when faith at last will be sight.
Other things you might want to know about me: in my spare time you’ll typically find me reading, sleeping or (unfortunately) on Facebook.
On my bookshelf: C.S. Lewis, John Owen, George Macdonald, J.R.R. Tolkien, Madeline L’engle, R.C. Sproul and Saint Augustine
On my iPod: Jeremy Camp, Sara Groves, Bach, Mozart, Grieg, and Lord of the Rings soundtrack
In my DVD player: The Lord of the Rings, Alfred Hitchcock, the Batman movies, The Ultimate Gift, anything by Pixar and Tim Burton
Well… This is a good start… However I think that I little more detail would be appreciated.
