Steeling Your Heart.

This is not a love song it is more of a Requiem. When we think of death we like to think that it will never happen to us, so we hide our faces and and bury our thoughts in the latest technology and what would make our lives more easier. But I want to challenge you to think of something that truly makes you happy. Do you know what happiness is? Have you ever experienced joy? Don't turn me off, bear with me. At the heart of our unrequited love lies an inner child, that if expressed might take us into a new level of being human. I am not asking you to be a kid, and as repulsive as that seems to your logical mind, I am asking you to be child like. I think I have lost you. At the heart of every person lies the desire to be loved purely.

What you are longing for is not another beer, but to feel the throb and pulse of a person who has become fully alive. You ask what you will have to give up...nothing. Does that sound familiar? Everything comes with a price, but I am asking you to be fully alive. All you have to do is live. Sound to easy? Maybe you've been asked this question before and maybe you think it is outdated? What do you want to be when you grow up..... I'm 39 you say and isn't it a little too late to be asking myself these questions? I'm not asking you to reinvent the wheel all I'm asking for is a little bit of your memory.

If I was to paint a picture about everything and all that you hoped your life would be, would it include, butterflies per se? Or is your interior house full of cob webs and stale Cheetos and things that if pulled out, you be so ashamed to show your face in public ever again. I ask you once again what do you want to be when you grow up? I think you are on your way and that person who just cut you of in traffic has a dinner date tonight with a friend of mine and when you meet her you'll say to yourself "What a lovely time we had at Derick's house tonight. Maybe we should do it again when we are sober. There is allot I can teach you about the birds and the bees but it seems you've made up your mind that the best place for you to be is in a place where Derick wears a tutu and that song that you really like is always played on the radio so you can rest in peace that there will be work to do but not the kind that will kill you. Shazam!

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
