Hello, my name is Michael O'Connell.  I am a full time student at IHOP-U and the owner of a small web design and hosting company called New Xion Interactive.  I really love to pray, read the word, and have a love / hate relationship with fasting.  I'm a teacher of the word called to prepare the earth for the coming of the Lord and to help others get their message out on the web.  

Techie Stuff

I program primarily in PHP and HTML / CSS / Javascript, though I know Java pretty well too.  I think JQuery is the best thing since sliced bread and that all browsers are created evil.

What I Believe

I believe that the heavens and the earth were created in seven literal days.  He created man good, but with a free will to be able to submit or to rebel, that Adam and Eve chose to rebel, and that through their sin suffering and death entered the world.  He sent his only son, Jesus the Messiah to die for the forgiveness of sins and that he is coming soon to establish a Kingdom that will never end on the earth.  He will judge according to a good and fair law and all those who are repentant and believe in him will be resurrected and given indestructible bodies.  After a thousand years all all the righteous and wicked will be resurrected, and the wicked will be thrown into a lake of fire.
