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 want to fly where the Eskimos live, and build a mountain of houses where I can run from the only person I have ever loved, myself! I was up early this morning with the birds and a thought crossed my mind. Where do you go when you die? I don't mean heaven, but where do the elephants go when they have run out of breath and all is well with their children?

If I was a mother I would feed my son with gold dust and fairy stars. I would take him to the park and let him run free, until he ran into Wisdom. When he found her, I would clap my hand and say "way to go son!" as she followed him home from school. I would train my boy nice and good, and when he was a man I would ask him if he could show me his wisdom. But he would reply, She ran off with a good an and I haven't seen her since, and I would reply "Do you think we might find her?"

end.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

  Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.  1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
