Who I be? Who you be? Why you looking at me?

[Cross]

Good evening to all, My name is Nick. My name Cross strangely enough is not originated from the Cross... its the pens... I love them, and I liked the name and have been known by Cross online for about 6 years roughly.

I am in West Texas, seen Friday Night Lights? Yup that was here... I am in Midland...graduated from Lee High School as well.

I am computer nerd (not so much nerd but it sounds cool) I work for GMAC as an IT specialist where I design databases and make sure the general workflow is going smoothly.

So yeah that's me in a small nutshell. Anything else... just ask.

Tah.

Welcome to the Nuthouse!

So, an IT guy eh? You may wanna pop over to the computers forums. We sometimes help out with Q&A / troubleshooting stuff there. What kinda stuff do you specialize in? Are you an Access Junkie, or do you do real database work?

I am learning Access, I can do a lot I have a hard time explaining though =\. I can also do a little HTML as I am learning cause I have a training website to finish by the end of the month.

All in all my specialty is hardware although I can do a lot in software... just dont ask me about VB Scripts cause that's what gives me a headache right now =)

I feel after my 1st post on RAB357's thread I feel like I need to introduce myself a little more and clarify my stance on things, just would like to avoid misconceptions.

For starters I am a Pieces, if you care about astrology which I know you all don't but hey I will throw it in. - With that I am chilled, layed back person who really could care less towards things, stress isn't the key... happiness is.

I am a Christian, I am non-denominational (even though I attend and I am a member of a Methodist church), as you all know I have thing against christian pieces of art being used in the church...not against them, I love art... just no place in the church for it.

EDIT:Further research has shown to me that art in church is not technically a bad thing as long as credit is given where credit is due. Meaning as long as it is not being worshipped as an idol.

How did I come to Christ? Well I was saved in 2000 by the person who is now my wife. Before then I was raised loosely in a Catholic family and eventually got tired of a church trying to dictate lives and grew a distaste for it and eventually even convinced myself that Jesus' sacrifice was a martyr and I viewed the matyr as suicide. Which lead me to believe that Jesus' sacrifice to save all from sin was a sin as a whole and he was pointless to follow.

I kid you not, the devil is a sneaky guy... he is good at making anything seem true.

Even still, as an aetheist I viewed myself as an ignorant aetheist because I prayed just about every night proving to be wrong...5 years later (he likes to work methodically) I met my wife and found that she answered all the prayers I had ever prayed and that just lead me down the road.

So now I have a warped, twisted view of things but I continue to strive to learn and seek the truth about things, so forgive me if I am ignorant... I just am.

Feel free to share your story, I always like to hear how some one was saved.

Ah, Cross the heathen. I propose that CAA sacrifice Cross to the pagan gods of Art and laugh as his corpse burns....

Heheheh....I'm his brother in law so I can say things like that. That's right; his wife would be my sister. Gotta thank ya though, your post brought some more replies to me thread. Sweet dreams, NC Panthers5900
