Well, maybe snooze is not of the devil, but it was for me. I believe a miracle has happened in me. Some may think it is nothing, but I think there is no other way to explain it. In high school I had an alarm clock, but didn’t depend on it because I knew that my mom would wake me up like...
Phone Call Screening
posted by Ryan
I am very shocked about a recent status that I posted on Facebook. I had no idea that there would be so many people opposed to my view. The status: “Why is it that Christians can purposely screen phone calls to avoid someone and think it’s “ok”?” First off all, I am not...

It’s the end of the world as we know it! Well, not really, but for some foolish “Christian” ministry out there, it seems to be all they talk about. I drove by a billboard the other day from this ministry claiming that God is about to judge the world. That, I am ok with, however, these...
Shift from Medocrity
posted by Ryan
As expected, with the aftermath of such a terrible earthquake in Japan, Christians are once again claiming that “the end is near”. Unfortunately, there are many Christians from every generation since that was written that has taken that out of context. Context: Mark 13 (alternate: Matthew 24) Jesus is prophesying about the destruction of the Temple in 70AD, not some other future event down the road. He goes on to say, “Do not be deceived or misled by others claiming to be the Messiah.” I don’t know about you, but I have not heard of anyone claiming to be the Messiah. This is due to the fact that He has already come and Jesus was only...

There was a time when I was into off-roading. I have been stuck only a few times, but this one time was so bad that I needed a front-end loader to pull me out. I was off-roading behind Martensville one day with a couple friends after about three days of continual rain. The ground was soggy...
Consistency

There needs to be a show called “The Child Whisperer” in which people take their rebellious children to a counselor for advice. The show would work much the same as “The Dog Whisperer”. If you have ever watched the show (I have not, but I have heard about it) the story goes that the dog trainer often points blame at the owner for the way that the dog behaves. There is a parallel here… Much is the same when you see a child throw a temper tantrum. The parent has let the child get away with it in the past. The child will only do what they can get away with. Yes, they will try you to push the boundaries from time...
