Humour as a Lesson

Seeing Old Friends

Church: A Two Hour Substitute
After writing three points about what I have noticed church has become I knew that there were a bunch more I could point out. I was talking with my friends tonight (something think that is…
Church: Fast Food Utopia
One of my favourite sermons I have ever heard is by Erwin McManus. If you are interested, you can download it here. It’s not necessarily theologically without holes, nor is it a message that will…
Church: The Newest Rave in the Entertainment Industry
Tonight was great and it will be one of those nights that I will never forget. Kind of the opposite side of the spectrum from a few nights ago with the accident, but either way…
Spending Time with Yourself
I’m a pretty social guy. Most of the time you will find me with at least one other person around me. My house in Sarnia always seems to be the hang-out place for EVERYONE whenever…
What a Car Accident Can Teach You…
Nights like tonight don’t happen often. To some they don’t happen at all. They are the kind of nights that test what you are made of and reveal exactly what is found. Melissa and I…
Shit Talk
I’m constantly reminded that we as humans get caught up in such mundane, ridiculous and pointless things sometimes. I’m reminded whenever I turn on the TV to some celebrity ‘show-off’ episode. I’m reminded whenever I…
Failing at the Impossible
“Those who never attempt the impossible will never discover the full potential of the possible” The other day Jon, Darryl and I thought we would have a little fun so we took my new camera…
Rest for the Weary
Another night at 3AM, and I’m stressed out of my mind. Welcome to my life in the past 3 weeks. In about fifteen hours, all my responsibilities for this semester will have been completed. I…
My Roomate Jon
What better night to write an entry on here than the night I need to wake up at seven in the morning to write an essay that I’m not prepared for? Well, I’ll admit, I’m…
