You Should Never Leave Church Feeling

“You should never leave church feeling defeated,” said Pastor Steve. He made an effort to end this morning’s service on an up note, since we’d just begun a sermon series on the seven deadly sins. It was a good move. I had to laugh at how guilty I am of the sin we covered this morning, the source of all the others: pride. Oi.

Today Was Pretty Uneventful

Today was pretty uneventful. Caught up, pretty much, with the work I’m doing for Dad, drafting a medical office building. Read the story of David’s adultery with Bathsheba, and its consequences. And turned 21.

When It All Goes Down This Is What You

When it all goes down, this is what you might just hear in the background. I present to you, under the guise of DJ Razorclown, Let it All Fall: The Soundtrack to the Apocalypse.

Killswitch Engage Is Absolutely

Its Been Week Here At My New House

It’s been a week here at my new house. It’s taken an effort to refer to “my Mom’s house” as such, and the room full of my stuff here in Carolyn’s house as mine. Since Dad’s been busy, I’ve been on an extended vacation since I quit working at Corti Brothers. Still trying to find the balance between spending time with Carolyn and making a general nuisance of myself. Just too tempting to make my way across the house to a friend’s place when it’s right there. May take a little time to get the dynamic just right, but things are going smoothly enough. I’m very grateful.

You Have Heard That Law Of Moses Says

You have heard that the law of Moses says, “Do not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.” But I say, if you are angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the high council. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. -Matthew 5:21
