Church: Who we are called to be
Lately I’ve been thinking about the whole idea of church, as you can tell because the last four entries have been about that. One of the key things one needs to do in attempting to…
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…
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…
Published Article on The Ooze
Well it’s always exciting when my work gets published somewhere else. The OOZE published my Growing in Grace article. I wrote this article a while back, last year sometime, and Relevant (click here to see…
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…
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….
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…
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…
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…
