About Eric Anderson

What can I say about myself, given that I'm a generally modest guy, who believes in the value of humility? What on earth does an introvert do with such an extroverted medium as a Web page?

Just a few things: I sing, and play guitar, and am working on playing the fiddle. I wear hats, generally something in the fedora style. I like playing with computers, and hate playing with Windows 98. I tell awful puns. At some point, nearly anything will strike me as funny, which earns me some funny looks. I have a lot of friends, which says more about their ability to tolerate eccentricity than about my own worth. I have yet to find anything the least bit satisfying about mowing the lawn.

The most important thing to say about myself, however, is that my faith in the Triune God is what gets me through the day. My Creator has given me skills and abilities which I am most grateful to exercise. My Savior has given me the promise of a new life when this one is done. And the Spirit guides me, encourages me, and comforts me along the way.

God bless you!
