About
Who am I? I'm a Christian, native of Memphis, TN, and a graduate of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the Herff College at The University of Memphis. I have a passion for creating all things utilizing electronics, computers, and programming. During my Senior year in college I was the president of the Tennessee Epsilon chapter of Tau Beta Pi (the Engineering Honor Society), the Vice President of the Kappa Lambda chapter of Eta Kappa Nu (the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society), and a Vice Chair of the UofM IEEE student chapter. During my college years I also worked as an Orientation Guide and Tour Guide for the university, as well as an Engineering Student Ambassador for the Herff College and an undergraduate research assistant in the Embedded Systems Advanced Research and Prototyping (ESARP) Laboratory. Prior to college, I graduated from Bolton High School in 2015, where I was involved in the marching and concert bands, National Honor Society, and Beta Club. I currently work as an Electrical Design Engineer at TK Elevator. If you have any questions about my faith, projects, or hobbies, feel free to contact me anytime!
All praise and glory to Jesus Christ, to whom I owe everything.
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect..." 1 Peter 3:15

The Thoughts of God
1. Are our thoughts the same or different from God's?
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9
2. Let us compare our thoughts with those that God has made known to us though His Word. What do you think about death, what is there after this life?
"Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgement," - Hebrews 9:27
3. If you died today, what do you think would be the verdict of God for your life: Innocent or Guilty? Why?

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
2. According to this verse, who has sinned? Are you in this group of people? We see here the word "sin". What does this word mean to you?
"Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness." - 1 John 3:4
3. There are human and divine laws. Let us think for a moment about human laws: do you always obey human laws? How much more do you obey divine laws?
4. The Bible also tells us that there is a consequence for violating the laws of God in the following passage:
Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin." - John 8:34
5. Are you a slave to sin? Is there a way for a slave to find freedom?
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32
