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 in his father’s house” kind of titles. However, sometimes I find myself sticking on the channel a little longer than […]
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 there. The church planter of this church was the assistant pastor of a successful Baptist church in Sarnia. He decided
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 down my cheek all I can think is “I haven’t done this in a long time.” Then I usually allow
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 we can use our skills and talents to do this. The idea of teaching is important cause if we are
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 my lovely city of Sarnia. Also I plan on finishing Angels and Demons, the prequal to The Davincci Code, I’ll
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. It got me stuff. It got me new clothes; new gadgets especially. It got me gas for my car so
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 of before and it made me question the very things that most Christians simply accept. The entire book was on
Every once in a while I come up with a great idea and no one will be around for me to say it to. Sometimes I’ll be walking to school and start laughing out loud there by myself and I wish I could tell my funny joke to someone else. Other times I’ll be sitting
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 Sandler plays a serious role and falls in love with a Spanish nanny that his wife hires. Her name is
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 a starving child for a day, and $2.99 for a minute of phone sex. For one hour of phone sex,
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). I’m most excited for the latter, it’s the conclusion of his New Kind of Christian trilogy. So in honour of
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 to lately is the whole idea of an introvert and an extrovert. Everyone will know both kinds. An introvert is
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 apartment. I’ve never had a picture where we’ve looked like we’re having so much fun.
I’ve gotten a lot of response on my last post; understandable responses sent privately to my e-mail and some posted for all to see. From some I got encouragement and people telling me that they were praying for me (thanks). Others sympathized and related because they know all to well how it feels. Others told
As I sat in front of Mac’s, the rest of the guys were in the store stalking up on caffeine, I let my mind wander for a few moments. It was a crazy night tonight. Three full wedgies to Steve, Darryl and Nathan Shurr. One, maybe two, close concussions. Cheap beer made in Waterloo. A
Today in English class we had to read a short story. It was called “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor. There was a line at the end of the story that intrigued me. A grandma, who in a single and only moment of the entire book, shows compassion to a murderer.
One of my biggest fears of getting married, even dating, is the idea that there is another person who is supposed to represent me. I know it sounds selfish, but it’s an honest fear. It scares me to think that there is another person out there (a female at that, haha) that will one day
Before I go on…send someone another encouragement e-mail. Send it to someone else. Just open up another browser and send them a quick e-mail. I used to get asked by mother to clean the kitchen. It was a job I despised. Some of us have had to do that, or do the laundry or clean
Think about the last time someone encouraged you. No really. Think about it. Stop reading for just 5 seconds and think about it. (I’m only going on about it because I know that I never do what I’m told to do when I’m reading it). But JUST DO IT. Ok. Now how did you feel?
Darryl and I have this habit of staying up ridiculously late. In fact, last night Darryl didn’t go to bed, he was on the same couch from midnight till noon the next morning working on a project he so diligently left until the last minute. So at about 3:30 this morning we decided to do
