Me

My name is Jared Salomon. I am a little short and skinny with medium-light skin, long brown hair (long for a guy), brown eyes, a mustache, and thick-framed glasses.

I believe most importantly in the gospel, that Jesus died to forgive me and cleanse me of my sin so that I can have eternal life with God and go to heaven instead of hell. I believe that I have the Holy Spirit living in me because of this. I (and all other Christians) exist to glorify God and share the gospel. I am called to love others and especially love God more than myself.

A goal of mine is to lead someone to become a Christian. I want to lead someone to accept the gospel. Another goal is to write at least one book and get it published. A dream of mine is to be an author of books, ranging from realistic sports fiction to fantasy to maybe sci-fi. I want to bring others to God or closer to God through entertainment in the form of my writing. Another dream is to get married and have kids, my own family.

I am obviously not without flaws. I like to think that I am strong-willed, but I think most people would instead say that I am stubborn. I struggle to show my emotions and trust others. Some would say that I have black-and-white thinking. I am not good at math, science, and maybe even English. I’m an immature perfectionist who is unmotivated for certain kinds of work. I lust, worry, get distracted easily, and compare myself to others when I shouldn’t. I am prideful, lazy, selfish, and too skeptical. I lack in love, joy, self-control, humility, faith, and hospitality. These are just some of my flaws.

But at the end of the day, the one word I would use to describe myself is “Christian.” That’s all that matters.
