Hey all

Postby AZheng » Sun Apr 25, 2004 1:30 pm

I've been a lurker here for quite a bit of time, just reading and not posting, but I'm compelled now to come out and post (and introduce myself).

I've been a Christian for quite a few years now. My parents immigrated into the United States and soon gave birth to me; we soon experienced the grace of God and became Christians.

I first discovered this site while doing some research after reading some particularly disturbing opinions on anime (on some very closed-minded web site). Since then, I have been a regular visitor (although I have little time, I try and stop in and see what is going on pretty often).

I really like the anime style of art and Japanese culture in general, although I'm probably the least qualified person to say so. (Heh..heh...heh..) I draw spacecraft and machines half-competently, but I need to work on human anatomy. I'm no good at that, unfortunately.

Academically, I do pretty well. I have no idea if anyone would be interested (I don't see why without any credentials ;)), but if anyone wants artwork or any other favor, feel free to ask.

The people here are much more friendly than those I've seen at other message boards. I look forwards to my stay here. Thanks all.

(My apologies if I sounded condescending...heh...)

You didn't sound condescending to me at all. ^_^ Welcome...to the outside of the lurking range!


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

Hehhehheh...thanks all. I'm gratified :).

I am from Delaware. I do play video and computer games, and have played (in no particular order) Starcraft/Brood War, Descent, Descent 3, Descent Freespace, SSBM (for gamecube), Homeworld, Pokemon Colosseum....uh, I can't think of any more right now, I've kind of lost count.

My real last name is Zheng, and my first initial is A. Now you know where my username comes from :-P.

Enjoying my stay here.

Hi! I'm Madeline. :) Guess we're kind of in the same boat. Lurking is fun, but participating is much better. It's so much more fufilling...
You sound like a very interesting person. I'd like to get to know more about you and your family. Where did they immigrate (I hope I'm spelling this right) from?
Who brought your family to Christ?

Hi and welcome, AZheng! ^_^

You sound very nice and polite and not condescending at all, which means for those who don't want to look it up in the dictionary - "acting like you are superior, or at least putting on an air of superiority."

Wow, I hope that wasn't too condescending of me. *hehe* ^_^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Nice to meet you.

Hope you enjoy your stay.
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Thanks. Hopefully, I'll find the energy to write up a mini-bio of myself sometime and answer a few of your questions :).
