This "Meet & Greet" was a good idea! I've enjoyed interacting w/some of you w/my questions. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to Logos, and I don't come on the forums often - at least not yet. Perhaps it's partly because the Macbook I use is from a different era and runs Tiger. I'm waiting to get a new MacBook Pro which runs Lion in July, so I can finally enjoy the Logos base package I purchased a couple of months ago. I'm 22 years old, an undergraduate (majoring in History) at the National University of Singapore, and am Singaporean too. My most-used Logos resource would have to be the books I ordered. At the moment, I use Logos mainly for access to the bible, quick check on commentaries and resources when I'm up and about doing ministry work (I'm a volunteer with Singapore Youth For Christ) and occasional reading, in particularly my Francis Schaeffer collection. Hope to use more of the actual Logos software once I get my new computer. My favourite non-Logos pastime, if you can call it one, is meeting and interacting with my students as part of what I do in campus ministry (high school students about 17-18 years old) under YFC. Random fact - Once I was blind, now I can see. Certainly the case for many of the users here I think - being born into a family of Christians, the reality and strength of Christian convictions never quite hit me seriously until a spiritual awakening which began about two years ago, and has continued unabated!

Random fact that gives others a glimpse into who your are:

I was a computer science major in college until I started writing code and realized that I REALLY didn't like it. I liked USING computers and tinkering under the hood, but not the actual process of coding. I decided to change my major, but couldn't figure out what I wanted to change it to. Someone asked me, "What would you do if you could do anything you wanted to?" and I said "I'd probably be an English and Religious Studies major… but I don't know what I'd do with that, because I KNOW I don't want to go to seminary."

About 2.5 years later I had graduated with a dual BA in English/Religious studies, on my way to seminary, have been ordained since 1998, and am currently working on my D.Min. and can't imagine doing anything else.
