WOTD – Word of the Day

July 25, 2010

Long story short – right now I am on a journey where I am getting to know God better by diving into the Bible in search of a word. At first I wasn’t sure if I would share this journey publicly.  Then I decided it would be a good exercise in accountability to be sure [...]

Delight and Desire

July 22, 2010

A common passage.  A treasured promise, for me and many others. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.  (Psalm 37:4  NIV) Have you noticed the focus often placed on “… he will give you…”?  Because we want the desires of our heart.  I know I sure do. [...]

It’s not easy.

July 20, 2010

I’ve determined that life just isn’t easy. My observation skills have been in overdrive lately considering and pondering far too many things. Not much is easy. It’s not easy being single.  It’s not easy being married. It’s not easy living with your family.  It’s not easy being on your own. It’s not easy having kids. [...]

Overnight successes and dreams of all shapes and sizes

July 8, 2010

Have you ever heard that overnight successes often take years to come to fruition? Usually accompanied by lots of hard work and hard knocks. Tonight I was thinking that, even with all of that long and winding road of an experience, there must always come a point where it’s the figurative “night before”. What does [...]

Sicko [Movie] – watch it!

January 4, 2010

Michael Moore’s movie “Sicko” was featured on CBC Newsworld’s “The Passionate Eye” tonight.  So here is my movie review.  Actually it’s only a partial movie review… I only saw the last half-ish or so.  And not really a review — more of a recommendation to watch it if you haven’t yet.  And technically it’s a [...]

Noticed…

January 3, 2010

Some food for thought: With regard to the freedom of the individual for choice with regard to abortion, there’s one individual who’s not being considered at all. That’s the one who is being aborted. And I’ve noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born. – Ronald Reagan

Remote control woes resolved

January 2, 2010

For much of the last day, I have been trying to figure out how to make the new living room “entertainment system” setup work all on a single remote.  Part of the problem I’ll blame on the TV being an Olevia and reading tons and tons of negative stories about how the thing cannot be [...]

Cultivating a spirit of thankfulness

December 29, 2009

Once upon a time when things were rough but blogging was something I had a lot of time for, I used to blog with spurts of thankfulness. I would make out lists of things I was grateful for or about, even in the midst of a cruddy day. I would write up amusing little things [...]

Another take…

December 29, 2009

And now for something completely different… so last time I was on about defining myself and finding something more about who I am, etc.  Instead of trying to follow up with something at least as deep, I decided to try another approach. I decided to ask Google.  I haven’t done this for a while, so [...]
