Ryan Topper is a man of delightful taste, exquisite passion, and distorted humor. He is hairier than “normal”, and is frequently mistaken as eather homeless or the Messiah. Currently, he is working on a Bible/Theology major at Multnomah University in Portland, OR, and is an “Outstanding Alumni” of Clark Community College in Vancouver, WA. He has a child-like fascination with humans and their ways of expression. This leaves him in love with stories in all of their forms. Music, words, good coffee, and the irrational love that he has found in Jesus Christ are what keep his mind in existence. You will often find Ryan corrupting the minds of our youth until they have no where to turn except the grace of the Living God (youth ministry), adding Star Wars and/or Tolkien references into normal conversation, jamming with hobos (or people who look like hobos), or doing something that is typically deemed “socially unacceptable.” He currently spends most of his time in his basement, planning his next step of action towards world domination.
This is his blog.
I am very impressed with you.
I like the Five Iron quote at the top. At least, I think of Five Iron when I see it, from the song Untimely Death of Brad. “It’s on the internet so then it must be true.” But maybe you just wrote that down.
Hey, Ryan~just checking in to say we are praying for you all on the Europe outreach. May God do exceeding abundantly above all that you could ask or think!
Love from Jacksonville, Florida…
