NEED
Yesterday I was walking toward the pick-up spot to where we were meeting for our ball hockey game. The hockey-game where I almost got my eye poked out and just have a few bloody cuts…
I’m A Little Man
I’m beginning to become more aware of one of my flaws. It’s making me feel more uncomfortable the more it’s unveiled. It all started in Halifax. We were sitting around a pub, everyone was sampling…
Unknown
Walking through the hallways of York makes you feel small. A school of over 40, 000 people is a new country compared to what I have ever been used to. I’m used to schools where…
Gospels and Jesus
A lot of people have been asking me what books I’m reading this school year, expecting to hear something about the emergent church, church planting or maybe some kind of postmodern answer like ‘there is…
Crashing Hard After Being So High
I was just lying in bed a minute ago, and then I jumped out of bed with an idea I wanted to write about before o nodded off. I hopped over to Darryl to wake…
Fix it.
It’s 2:55am and I told myself I would be laying in bed by 12:00, 12:30 at the latest. I layed on my blankets around 12:50, so I wasn’t too far off my mark. It’s way…
New School = New Faith?
Today was my first day at York University. I must say that after only sitting through two introductory classes I know that I’m in for what seems to be a lot different of an experience….
Wake up at Church
I’ve enjoyed the reaction I get from people here in Toronto when I inform them that I’m not going to a church on a Sunday morning. One person said ‘that’s not too good of an…
Church: A Beautiful/Pointless Habit
Growing up with Christian parents you go to church. Fortunately and unfortunately I was blessed and cursed with this habit engrained into my weekly schedule. To wake up on a Sunday morning without going to…
Bottom of the CN Tower
Yesterday I went for a stroll downtown Toronto on my way to Hamilton and I was trying to aim myself toward Union Station. The easiest way to do this of course is by looking for…
My Own Torah
1. You shall tithe 10% of your net income 2. You shall go to a church service every Sunday 3. There shall be preaching from ‘the word’ every Sunday 4. You shall dress up when…
Church: An Idol
Darryl brought this point up last night and it struck me interesting and worthy enough to be posted. Since Darryl doesn’t have his own blog I’ll just get the ideas across. If you think Darryl…
Two New Articles
The Ooze published two of my articles in the past few weeks. Check them out here. Gethsemane Truth Unveiled
I Don’t Like You
I think my new favourite line that I absolutely hate is ‘I don’t like them.’ I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this line escape from people’s mouths. It’s come from mine too,…
I told you So
I’m glad God is stretching me. Today I realized an important lesson that he has slowly worked into me that once was a struggle at one time. I was talking to a friend of mine…
Fasting (Not Just Food)
Since the summer began I’ve been fasting Pepsi. This would seem like an odd thing to fast to most people. I gave that and MSN up for this past Lent also. I’m not saying this…
Making Sense
Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of going out to breakfast with Nick and his dad, seeing that Nick was in town for a day. For some reason he and his dad got into a…
Quantity over Quality
MSN Messenger seems to be the new craze. Well not exactly new to me, I’ve always been on it, but in the world it’s new in the last decade or so. The more I experience…
Living in the Question
“A Christian doesn’t avoid the questions; a Christian embraces them. In fact, to truly pursue the living God, we have to see the need for questions. Questions aren’t scary. What is scary is when people…
Wedding Pictures
So I got a CD of 600 wedding pics from Phil’s wedding. I uploaded 300 of them on my MSN Space thingy, cause it’s free and its a lot of space. check them out here….
