More random confessions… I’ve got a number of’em.
I haven’t really watched television in years, but suddenly started watching a ridiculous amount of Battlestar Galactica, almost through three seasons in three weeks, yet I maintain that way I’m too busy these days.
Whenever someone ends a prayer with “Amen”, I can’t help but smile and whisper “So say we all“.
Before I got married, every time a couple said they had to go home early… the only thought in my head was – crap, they’re leaving us to ‘do it’.
My ipod touch has wasted just as much time as it has saved me.
The poverty line for a family in Toronto is $35k. My earnings last year was about $9k. I’m going to be saying that the rest of my life… unless I start making even less.
I’m in awe and honored to be leading people and initiatives, but most days i’m just clawing my way through the dark.

- When I go to starbucks, I’m so cheap, I always order a venti for value, then put it in the fridge and slowly drink it over three days
- I’ve recently began watching old episodes of Party of Five
- I never talk about being in anyway affiliated with the emergent church because I think Mark Driscoll will come and beat me up.
- Our S80 Canon digital camera flew off our car on to the highway this past week, and we saw it as an ‘opportunity’ to replace it with a shiny new Canon Rebel xsi DSLR
- Since my daughter was born, I went from working out five times a week, to zero, and I’ve lost 25 pounds.
- I’m eating expired popcorn as I type this, I generally eat a lot of expired food.
- I’ve never been so convicted of what I’ll be doing with my life, while have no idea about how I’ll be doing it. Somehow this makes it all the more exciting for me, but probably a little confusing to those around me.
- I probably haven’t had a single decent conversation with 80% of my ‘friends’ listed on facebook this year
- I don’t know many people more hopeful than I am. I pretend to be cynical sometimes just so people think I’m thoughtful and not naive.
I’ve been highly unproductive the last few weeks trying to pray and listen for God to speak to me in terms of next steps… problem is He keeps speaking to me in all these other areas of my life.
- I have answers to questions I haven’t honestly wrestled through myself
- I judge people by their actions, but I want them to judge me by my intentions
- I talk a lot about interdependent living, but I plan my life towards independence
- I tend to like conflict, because I think I’m usually right. Conflict becomes just another game I can win.
- I’m done seminary, but I really don’t know the Bible as well as I should
- I’m selective with Scriptures – I’m not sure what to do with the miracles I can’t perform, or even things like the holy kiss.
- I drink gravy straight-up when no one’s looking.
- I tend to minimize serious issues with humor
