About Me (old)
That’s me, hiding behind a sword and some Photoshopping. I am a ninja in my spare time.
Biography: I grew up in Minnesota. After I finished college, I came to the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri in January 2006 for the six-month One Thing Internship. I am now on staff with IHOP. I work full-time as an editor, but my real job is as an intercessory missionary: I am in the prayer room twelve hours per week, praying, studying, and ministering to the L-rd. In addition, I serve on a prophecy team. (Note to potential stalkers: yes, I am easy to find. But I own several weapons and will use them without hesitation on you. Unless you are Dave Sliker, in which case I will laugh hysterically and then proceed to comment-spam your blog.)
Eccentricities:
- I can be easily bribed with chocolate.
- I abhor chick flicks and love wire-fu movies.
- I am a grammar Nazi and a walking dictionary, annoying and assisting (respectively) all around me.
- I like birds.
- I like swords. And staffs, short and long. And polearms. And guns. Pretty much any kind of weapon, actually.
- My fellow interns nicknamed me the Mighty Duck, a.ka. Ducky. (Said nickname does not refer to the Disney movies nor the Land Before Time)
- I am asocial at heart and believe that silence is a virtue, but at home I can be found slinging sarcastic witticisms at the slightest provocation.
- I occasionally write poetry.
- I believe that cereal may be eaten any time of the day or night.
- I fully embrace my geekiness (geekdom? Geekhood? Geek ethos?) and can, upon request,
- Explain in detail how a black hole works and differentiate between the various kinds of black holes;
- Discourse at length upon Charlie Parker’s impact on jazz;
- Discuss the concept of the center line in martial arts and whether Wing Chun Kung Fu has a real-world application in street fighting; and
- Ramble about “that” vs. “which” and the usage of commas in restrictive and non-restrictive clauses.
Proclivities: I can most often be found (1) at work, (2) in the prayer room, (3) at home working, or (4) at home praying. I don’t get out much. 
Identity: I am holiness to the L-rd, a priest and king to Him, someone who comes before His throne and asks Him for His own heart’s desires. I am His kid, His Bride, and a daughter of Israel. Don’t mess with me or He’ll tear you to shreds.

Let me be the first. Yay! I won! Moo-haw (or however it is that you show evil laughter).
Love your profile. It’s a hoot.
Hey, Ducky…ever since we learned about your nickname, Shannon and I (especially Shannon) have been seeing a TON of duck stuff that looks so “you”.
And your profile is great, minus the fact that you did not mention anything about the puppies.
Curious – are you a Messianic Jew by any chance? Just noticing your reverence for the L-rd’s name (and I’m not BTW, just being deferential if you are
).
Yep…I should probably add that fact to my bio.
Wow when I wrote the comment to you in repsonse of the Spirit of the Nazarite, I had no idea of your connection with IHOP. What a small world. I am affiliated with Morningstar Ministires, a MFM member and past student. I recently spoke to a lady named Mary Jean in the copyight department at IHOP. I was requesting permission to use Misty Edwards song I will run on my website. Anyway….maybe too much info, I just thought how neat! I googled spirit of the nazarite and saw your write up. Blessings

I appreciate this gift and I to am a writer who needs much help with grammar and format. I have extravagant ideas and am very creative but sometimes I loose the focus of what I am trying to say with bad grammar….so maybe you could help? You just commented on my blog( the pink suit). Feel free to pick apart and analyze my writing, I am not offended, it will help me grow as a writer(also why I blog).

Hey Jared, I just finished a series on effective writing; you might want to check it out and keep your Ruckus going with some awesome structure and grammar.
Wow. Ninjaness and geekiness. I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad thing I live so very far away from you…
Bless You!!!
I love IHOP i am so blessed by hanging in a ministry filled with Prayer and Worship and teaching.
Bless You!!!!
Keep the fire of the Lord burning in Jesus Name.
