Advent #4: Joy

Christmases in my late teens are some of my fondest feelings of my entire life.
I feel odd talking about this time in life because I’ll end up talking about kittens, Rice Krispies, Care Bears, and babies to get my point across. That warm feeling that is far too rare in life is the only other [...]

Advent 2009 #3:Peace

There’s no money in peace.
We live in a world where the absence of peace means making a living for far too many. From a trillion-dollar world military complex, to drug companies, to health food stores, to ’safe’ toy makers, to political activists, to culture-warring Christians, ’seeking peace’ can mean a wonderfully full cash flow, a [...]

Advent 2009 #2: Hope in hurt

I have some friends going through really hard times.
They are seeing relationships of all kinds falter, fade, and dissolve before their eyes. It hurts me to see them hurt so, and while I’m praying for them to see the light eventually, the only other thing to do is help bear their burdens. It’s a hard [...]

Updates

So hey. I think I forgot to tell you guys that I have a bonified, full-time-with-benefits-and-pension-plan-9-to-5-dress-like-an-adult job. I’m the Web Content Specialist at my Alma Mater (almost), Tyndale University College and Seminary. It’s pretty exciting to be creating things on a (nearly) daily basis, with more coming down the stretch in the next few months. [...]

Where the Wild Things Are

I saw “Where the Wild Things Are” tonight with Christine.
First off, let me say that I’ve been waiting for this movie for a long time. Ever since I saw the poster some 10 months ago, I knew that I was going to see this movie. I was getting so pumped about it that I started [...]

Struggling with the Power of Prayer.

Have you ever felt that conflict inside you where you believe that God can do anything, but that he can’t?
And then someone tells you that you are a bad Christian because you have that conflict and you don’t “Have enough faith?”
B.S.
This is reality people. Anyone who says otherwise are lying to themselves and to you. [...]

Creatively spent.

I think I’m starting to understand why I stop blogging for good amounts of time, and it lies mainly in that I spend my creative energies in other, more immediate contexts.
The problem with Biblical Studies, is that you have to always be thinking creatively and out of the box – or just read A LOT. [...]

A Pretty Lady

It’s clear that I have a God that loves me dearly.
I know this because he brought me her:

The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh!”

In Quarantine

So my wife Christine works at a Retirement Home in the area. She loves it. I love that she loves it. She loves that I love that she loves it. I lo…well you get the idea. It’s a really great fit for her.
Sadly, on occasion, bad things can happen at work that affects us at [...]

Transformers: Why Memory may be better than Reality.

Transformers. One of my greatest loves.
While I was a little too young for the very first iteration of Transformers toys and cartoon by Hasbro, I was around for the first round of re-runs of the show, as well as 2nd Generation (buffs of the original). I owned A LOT of transformers: 1st waves, 2nd waves, [...]
