Caught off Gaurd.

If you have been driving today, you may have noticed hat the roads are very dangerous. You may be living in another country where the roads are fine, but here the stress level is very high as we travel to and from work etc. And my recommendation to you is if you can take public transportation do so. When we are caught off guard, our defences come down an we are more susceptible to accidents. I have been living in a somewhat of a bubble, in my nice cosy home for many years and have not been able to drive due to lack of concentration. It's not that I can't drive, I just don't want too, besides my license expired years ago and I would have to take the test over again if I did. Yes I do miss driving, I miss allot of things, but I am convinced that even if I had these things I would have to learn how to be content with them, as I have grown content without them. I give my 10% and I believe we can do allot more with faith than without it. I have grown accustomed to my condition...

Sacrificing Truth on The Alter of Reason.

I was recently informed that an acquaintance of mine was making a very serious life choice. It s not a sinful act per se, but a choice that is determining the outcome of the rest of her life. If it is not sinful you might be wondering why I am concerned about my friends choice, the answer lies in the fact that I am truly concerned because I want the best for her. I am not going to talk about it in the sense that I know what would inevitably be best for another person, but when you see things from a different perspective you have insight that the one making the choice doesn't have. To say that we are human and we all make mistakes, so we should delight in others bad behaviour is missing the point. Yes we are all human, but that doesn't excuse us from hurting others. In a world of relativity we have lost the sense of right and wrong, heaven and hell, good and bad. What I have learnt in life is that you cannot hide from the truth. God created you in a way that you have a free wi...

Supersize Me.

I would like to be said thatI  have been a man of little words, but considering that this is my blog I won't hold to that...for now. Would you go on a journey with me? It is a musical journey with benefits. I am not one to reveal my heart but I am definitely one to reveal my thoughts. The heart is a fragile thing and in the place of true feelings, let me replace them with truth. The truth, what is it? Is it a rose that has come to full bloom or is it a flower that has many years to bud? But once it has budded it takes up all your oxygen, and leaves you no more room to breathe. I will take out my proverbial scissors and cut that stem, that has a double root and replant it is the shallow ground, (are you ready for this?) self indulgent. Too early you say, the sun didn't come up this morning and the sky is dark black and the wind to wind is crying. Too late you say? The moon has dropped out of the sky and has fallen on planet earth and all that is left is earth wind and fire. ...

I Think, I know. What am I doing?

Knowledge is a powerful thing, and to think you know what you are doing until faced with the alternative leaves a large gaping hole in your mouth, until you realise that you were right all along...got ya there! Power is money, and money is power but if you have neither power or money, you might die a lonely man. Let's look at the US economy. It is red as red can be, but they live as if there will be no accounting done when the books literally close in on themselves, but can you forgive them? I can. First we have to remember that the government was elected, despite the fact that they couldn't prove that Barack Obama wasn't eligible, the fact remains that they are in trouble. Do we bail them out morally? I think it would be unkind to not forgive them for their stupidity, but at the same time are we learning from a country that will be technically bankrupt, quite possibly pretty soon? I am. I am learning quite a bit about politics and how they can get corrupt, very fast. Eve...

When the world began.

It was a cold December morning, it could of been January, and I had just came back from the skating rink. One of my favourite songs was on the TV, "I'm like a bird" by Nelly Furtato. We were living in a rented house with no escape for the future. I was stuck in my room and like that song goes "I don't know where my soul is" was my anthem at that time. Although I knew that God was bringing me through something, I didn't know him intimately. I was stuck in time, with dreams unfulfilled and the hope that someday God would bring me through the mess that I had made my own. I tried to escape one time, but it brought me face to face with my past and I was not ready to accept the things that God was wanting to do in my life. He was with me, but I was not with him. I still wanted it my way, and he wanted me to know that. Then life happened. Without warning for the second time in my life we were moving and I put up a fight that will go down in the history books....
