I realize that a lot of the stuff I write is creepy and sad ... at least for the most part. But let's just say, except I have a really cool idea, something big motivates me or I'm super excited and can't wait to pen it all down, most of my writing is done when I'm in a weird mood. I don't always think like this though. But I realized the other day, that CNN hardly ever publishes good news. So I figured this meant that people love to listen to bad news. Okay, in better words, bad news gets people's attention more than good news does. It evokes more emotions, makes them want to share the news, bla bla... I know you get it. And sometimes, something sad happens that makes me really think, this was the case with  blink . Generally, if I don't feel like it's deep (can make you "hmnnnn"), is funny, has God at the center or is anything, fancy it'll probably end up being sad. Sad is easy; people can relate with it pretty easily. And for the...

Blink. Yes you.  Blink. Someone just died. Blink again, yes you again. Another person just died. Actually a few people just died and more will still die. Guess what? You too will die. Oh it's getting creepy and you're about to close this tab. But you'll soon die too. Today, tomorrow, in a decade, a century... or however long you make it till. But you will die eventually. You know what's even more saddening? They'll mourn you for two seconds and forget you. Two seconds might be an hour of crying, or a week of hunger, or year without a replacement wife. But they'll mourn you for two seconds and forget you. And the following year they'll remember you. If you were anything fancy, they'll be quiet for a moment to say that your life was that short. Or that that's how long they can spend thinking of you before the sad thoughts of you mess up their busy lives. But that will happen. As quickly as you blinked you'll be forgotten. So...

Last time I wrote  a piece  on anything godly, I was referencing someone that performed at a Christian event and then went on to promote free alcohol for a party less than 7 days after. It was convenient. He fit into my story just perfectly. But guess who has sinned so many times after that write-up? That's right, it was yours sincerely. After the verdict on the Zimmerman case came, I just sat down to reflect on it and my life. I wondered about Travyon Martin's life and whether or not he was a believer. His death meant he got the easy way out of this life and as terrible a choice as it was, there is still a possibility he just went from the proverbial frying pan into the fire! If this guy wasn't a Christian he pretty much died in vain, went to hell and even his killer went free.  I am still alive, I am seeing chaos unfold on the web and on CNN, but most of all I am wondering how many times I have been delivered from sin and still crawled back to embra...

I've had a lot of amazing weekends in the little while I've spent on earth, but there's one I won't be forgetting anytime soon; it was the weekend of Live it Loud 2013 - RCCG Canada's young adult and singles conference with the theme "In His Presence". There really is something amazing about God's presence. I was going to write something similar to this after  this year's RCCG general convention that William McDowell performed at in Mississauga, but I somehow didn't get to it. I guess this is how it feels to be in an inexplicable high! Yes for all 3 days of the conference; it was that fantastic! The sermons were on for quite a while during some sessions- I'm talking about over 3 hours, which in young adult language is almost equal to a few decades few years- but still, we were in no rush to leave! It was the perfect mix of soul-soothing music, Christian theology, comedy and gospel at every single session! For  chocaholics  like me, yo...

I didn't think it was possible to get bored this summer. I'm working for most of the day so I guessed I'd be totally fagged out by the end of the day. But that hasn't been the case as you probably already figured. So I’m looking for new hobbies that don't cost money or fat. Yeah, I considered cake tasting. The idea was to find brides who need someone to taste out food and cakes for their weddings..lol. Not that I'm some connoisseur of food or something, but I can at least tell you that if you must put raisins in cakes, they should be well ground and not be visible enough to mess the cake up. Urgh, raisin-ed cakes pissed me off a lot as a child! I had to sit down with each cake slice to uproot the raisins. Anyways, since I can't go around eating cakes, I thought of taking fancy pictures. But unfortunately, the full camera I'd like to get, (+ extra lenses and a tripod stand) would put a frown on my account; therefore I'll be working with the avail...
