Be Honest and Feel Horrible

Last year I was hanging out with my cousin under the bridge. She’s from the USA and she’s obsessed with our French fries and the view under the bridge that leads over to the States….

A favour to ask

I need you all to do me a favour. A few friends and I are working on a business proposal to run annual conferances in Ontario, we want to attatch a recent survey to the…

The Pagan Christ

I’m reading through Tom Harpur’s The Pagan Christ. I’m having a hard time reading more than a few pages at once. I don’t usually have this kind of trouble reading. I can usually start and…

Stick’n It Through

You may have or may not have noticed that over half of my entries since Christmas have been about church and community. I’ve been really stretched a lot in this time in my understanding of…

Balancing the Tightrope

We’ve all seen the diagrams like the one directly below. Some people probably even use something like this for witnessing, that’s another blog though. (I drew these diagrams by myself. that’s why they are so…

Kingdom of Heaven

I went and saw the new movie out, called Kingdom of Heaven starring Orlando Bloom. It was a great movie, good graphics and acting. Sometimes I’m bad at missing the point of movies and I…

The Jerry Springer Confession Booth

What makes Jerry Springer and shows alike so addicting to watch? Given that I tend to get tired of the same old idea of “Why I want to sleep with my brother’s boyfriend’s little brother…

Church: Kingdom or Pews?

My dad has been going to this new church in Sarnia for the past few weeks. It’s a church plant and they have only been together for the two weeks that my dad has been…

Single Tear

It’s possible that my sensitive side might be peeking through. Lately I’ve found myself holding back that ‘single tear’ trying to compose myself. Every time I’m on the verge of allowing that tear to roll…

Church: A 24/7 Response

The longer I sit through services, especially worship services, the more frustrated with myself and the concept of these services I get. The idea of singing songs to our God is amazing; I love that…

Bamboozle

Tomorrow morning I am leaving for New Jersey/New York with my friends Darryl, Joe, Phil, Robb and Chris. We are going to the Bamboozle show. I’ll be off the blog until I get back to…

Price Tags and Validation

Money is one of those things that everyone says is evil, yet everyone always wants more and more of it. I’ve never really understood why I was always drawn to it. Well, maybe I did….

Hell No

I just finished reading book number one on my reading list for the summer; Brian McLaren’s “The Last Word and the Word after that.” It made me think of things that I have never thought…

Spanglish: Ruining Our Lives

Spanglish was one of my favourite movies that I have seen in a long time. There is no crazy action heroes, no hilarious comedy it’s not even physiologically thrilling. It’s almost a love story. Adam…

Phone Sex and Starving Children

I was watching a comedian today. He was a Jewish guy that talked funny. He said that he found it funny how messed up our priorities are. That it costs sixty nine cents to feed…

Doubting is Positive

I just picked up a few books that i’m reading at the beginning of the summer. The Da Vinci Code (Brown), The Pagan Christ (Harpur) and The Last Word and the Word After That (McLaren)….

The Introverted/Extroverted Church

Today was great. I received a $2500 scholarship for school next year. Thanks God. There are many different kind of classifications that we can put people in. One that I have found myself more drawn…

Fun

There aren’t many posts that I make that have a little bit of humour. But I couldn’t resist after we took this picture. This picture was taken at our friend’s across the street White Trash…
