Even though the Narnia films are pretty good movies and are fun to watch, I can’t help feeling a little sad. For the most part the movies turn the story into your typical action/adventure flick, like The Lord of the Rings lite. Really what the story is about, or rather who, is Jesus. The story is a parable about Jesus Christ, told by C.S. Lewis. It is sad that that will never be translated...

A Feast Fit For a Hobbit →
This was our Hobbit sized breakfast the other day, consisting of: toast, cakes, soft-boiled eggs, croissants, a fruit salad and nice crispy bacon. The way you can judge a good Hobbit sized meal is by looking at the amount of empty space on the table; the less the better!

How Do We Read Scripture? →
People don’t become righteous and glorified children of God all at once. That’s something that we see throughout the course of our own lives; we grow in knowledge and deeper understanding as we apply ourselves to it. In the journey of faith, at the beginning we only have a slight understanding of God—we only see a small piece of His whole image—and then as we travel further, the depth...

The Golden Investigator →
I made a blog for my personal search for Truth in my study of scripture and my interest in Christianity. You can read about it on my blog:
A “Golden Investigator” is a term that missionaries use for someone who is genuinely searching for truth (in the LDS Church); who takes an active interest in reading scriptures and trying to understand them, and who wants to know the truth and to...

So today we were cleaning our room and I tugged on Casey’s shorts and they came off a little and she said “you have released the kraken!”

Speak For Me →
“And the music on my radio, ain’t supposed to make me feel alone”
I’m up early, preparing for a long day of work. Mentally (and spiritually) prepping myself for a day of “today’s best music” (their words, not mine).
Is it just me, or does it make anyone else really sad to think that our society thinks that love is passion and that a relationship is...

I basically got bullied out of my house today by my roomates son. He was threatening me physically, in fact at one point shoved his fingers in my eyes, actually poked my eyes in the hopes I would hit him first. He mocked me for being helpless, because he knew I couldn’t do…

Sappy thoughts from October →
I wrote this back in October after heading home overnight on the bus. Be warned, it’s sappy:
And as I sat there beside her in the car I tried with all my energy to be as acutely attentive as possible so that I could take in as much of her as possible. How she looked. How she felt. How she smelled. All in the hope that maybe if I noticed as much of her as possible, and felt as much as...

Stupid Couch! →
I didn’t exactly have what you’d call a “good day” yesterday. I felt a little down from the moment I woke up, and it stuck. It was partly because of the miserable Canadian winter, but mostly it was the result of heartsickness. Long-distance is hard sometimes (all of the times) and being a part again this time was really wearing on me. It usually follows this sort of cycle: we’re together and...

Toyota: Let's Go Places →
Good ideas are so wasted on car commercials. Why is it that every time I see/hear something moving during the commercial break, it ends up being a car ad? This morning, while catching up on my shows via Hulu, I saw this video:
