Seeing Old Friends

Tonight was one of those nights that takes you back five years and lets you remember all the good times you had. We had sort of a reunion get together of our youth group back when I first started entering youth (so I was in gr 9, so seven years ago) and a lot of […]

My Christmas became X’mas

With Christmas season just behind us, it leaves me still with jogged memories and fantasies that I had when I was child about previous Christmas’. This was the first Christmas that I asked for something I needed. I got a tool set and a dirt devil vacuum cleaner. My friend was telling me how he

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 send you running to the altar with tears filling your eyes. At the time I listened to it for the

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 hear about high school relationships. I’m reminded whenever I see church politics. I’m reminded whenever I see Jerry Springer or

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 and took shots of us pretending to do crazy skateboard pictures. I must admit, some of them look pretty real.

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 have two exams left, and I’m not looking forward to either of them. As I was about to go to

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 more prepared for this one that I am for the next three I have. God’s been working on me a

Around in Circles

In the last two days I’ve had three interesting conversations about the same topic; the impetuous cycle that the world seems to be living in. This is true for most people that aren’t believers, but sadly I see it all the time in the church also. Every time I go home, I am bombarded with

Pushing Past Burn-Out

I’ve been quite slow with my updates over the last week or so, but for a legitimate reason. I had 4 essays due in three days last week, I had to finish Canon 25 design and writing, I had a volleyball tournament on Saturday and the big school banquet was last week also. It was

Loving the Unloving

I don’t like doing this too often, but sometimes I just feel like people need to read some things. If you haven’t already read the lyrics for Derek Webb’s song Wedding Dress read it below. I think I’m on this kick a little bit about honesty in music. I love when lyrics are honest and

Dreaming for Now

Perhaps the worst time in life is that in anticipation for something that could possibly happen. Perhaps this is the best time in life also. I always find myself in this spot. I have dreams for my future, big dreams at that, not just the little ones that a genie could grant. I have dreams

I am a Whore, I do Confess

When I walked into the apartment today, there was this song on the cd player that was on repeat. I don’t really want to talk about it, I think the words speak for itself, so read through them. You can go to BLUE LIKE JAZZ WEBSITE and watch an amazing video that goes with this

My Celebrity Neighbor

The guys at the apartment and I were watching the ending credits of V.I.P. a little while ago and we were making comments on how pointless it was. I guess for most guys this would be a great show, beautiful women flaunting what they have to flaunt, investigating crime and always seem to need to

Postmodern Thoughts (Pt. 2)

Well, after that long, and I’m sure for most, boring history lesson, let’s start getting to what everyone has been waiting for. Postmodernism is what comes after modernism. Clever name isn’t it? Postmodernism is completely changed what it meant to be modern. If you can’t easily point out the change in the last few decades,
