Who is Junius johnson?

He is a man that you wouldn't expect. I mean that. He is small in stature, but his presence is huge. He made D's in high school and yet was accepted to 5 of the top theology PhD programs in North America. He's usually right and often gracious. He is black, but he plays the French horn. He owns more books that anyone I know within 10 years of us in age, but he prefers his XBox. A child of the 80s, he still wishes love to be like a John Cusack movie, yet fights with all his might when things are rough. He is a dreamer, a hopeless romantic, a lover of the imaginative, yet insanely logical. His thoughts are always linear. He makes decisions quickly, he takes most factors into account. He drives like a bat out of hell, he never gets into wrecks. He loves both the romantic comedy and the action flick. He is seriously well rounded. He likes sports, cars, books, languages, music, TV, and our Lord. That is really the only thing that makes him make sense. Junius has long known that God is more powerful and His call more lofty than the apparent ceilings in his life, like cultural expectations, available resources or lack thereof. J's worldview is bigger than his life because there is someone in it so much bigger than himself. With this knowledge came opportunity and with it came responsibility. His call is one that many won't understand. Fighting for the evangelical faith in the academy looks like fighting for inequality, for turmoil, and actually against peace to many of his colleagues. But fortunately, we serve a just and faithful Lord, who has led us to know Him that we may walk in his ways, that we may serve him faithfully, that we may be blessed in His will. So come rain or shine, come good days or bad, come fair weather friends, come family crisis, we will stand together. I have faith in him, because we have faith in God. There is a lot to recommend Junius, his knowledge, his people skills, his musical talent, the high esteem others hold him in, but honestly I have faith in him and I have faith in us, because we have faith in God.
