Timothy's Story
Timothy is from Arcadia, California. Timothy is divorced, but he does have two boys, Nathanael (who is in the Marines) and Peter (who plans on joining the Air Force after high school). Timothy's schooling has included First Lutheran, Temple City, for K and 8th grade, Rio Hondo Elementary, Arcadia, for 1st through 3rd, Emmaus Lutheran School, Alhambra, for 4th and 5th, Immanuel Lutheran School, Alpena, MI, for 6th and 7th, Alpena High School for 9th and Arroyo High School for 10th through 12th. Timothy later attended Concordia University, Irvine, earning a BA in Pastoral Ministry and Biblical Languages). The biblical languages are Ancient and Koine Greek (9 quarters) and Hebrew 6 quarters). Further education was received at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO. He graduated from there with an MDiv and the acquisition of the Old Testament language, Aramaic.
Timothy has worked at MedQuist (while in CA), Spheris and Alpena Regional Medical Center (while in MI) as a medical transcriptionist. Toward the end of his time in Michigan, a mental illness began to alter his perceptions of reality. It is such that he cannot truly determine what was real and what was fake about his reality.

isease flowered into homelessness, and Timothy roamed on streets in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties.
He found out afterward that he had developed a mental disorder, schizoaffective disorder. Now, he is medicated. His symptoms are less severe. However, there are still times when Timothy fights off fake versions of reality. He is currently trying to see how much of his past life pre-disease can actually be reconstructed or what his new reality has to be. Presently, he is unemployable as the medications are adjusted to maximal effectiveness. He is on SSDI. He currently is trying to get back into the Hebrew language of the Bible book Job. He will find it difficult because there are many words in the book of Job that are found only there. This forces him to acquaint himself with Ugaritic (spoken in the area of modern-day Ras Shamra) and Akkadian. Failing that, Timothy has the plan to read the Greek New Testament over a period of two years. The Greek is an easier language than the Old Testament Hebrew, with fewer challenges, simply because it is not as old. Hopefully, these mentally stimulating activities will distract him from the things that mess up his reality.
