info @ the P.Pole [SPECIAL EDITION: Arthur]

this week's info session comes all the way from my pastor, Pastor Arthur (better known -- by me, mostly -- as 'yellow wood corpse'). this man i can claim safely to be somewhat of a role model for me. lemme explain why.
Arthur came to be an intern at my church (for most of my readers, 'our church' would be more fitting) a long time ago. he was being mentor'd by Pastor Ben back then, and i think Ben did a good job. Art's now the full-time english pastor and he's quite the man. young (ish) and full of great ideas, i don't think he's ever failed to be a forward thinker. i've gone to him a couple times with some heavy stuff on my mind, and we've had some pretty good talks, even though they be few and far apart. i guess he's inspiring since i look up to his creativity and insightfulness. he's a bit of a loner in private, though. keeps mostly to himself, kinda like me, but i think more because he's got a busy occupation, what with ministering to an entire congregation and all. his bookshelf i am in awe of. almost every book i've grabbed off his personal stacks (with the exception of "Our Covenant God", written by a female author) i've learned tons from. hardcore stuff that makes me think.
being a full-time minister for God naturally earns respect by my books, but even if he were just another friend/brother, i would still respect him. for his mind, his ideas and ideals, and his wisdom. i guess, i've never come across a situation that i'd think too complex for him to be able to help with, though most of the time, some other random development solves the problem anyway. *shakes head* the point is, if and when things get hairy, i think Art would be one of the first people i could go to.
anyhoo, enough of me talking about Art. here's what Art had to say about me:

"5 random things about you:

• THINKER - you're a thinker, no doubt about it. you have a critical mind (in a good sense) on issues and life.
• SARCASTIC - your comments are sarcastic at times, esp. on life/ faith issues... but they're pretty funny.
• GOOFY - i can't explain it, you just are.
• OBSERVANT - make good observations about life that most people miss.
• BASS THROAT - you have a deep voice."

that last one was so insightful, i think i simply must explode onto a field somewhere. i remember when he sent me his contribution, and i looked at the last one and just sighed. good stuff Art, good stuff.
