Don't worry everyone, I don't have a crush on any of the guys here or anything lol...they're just some friends. :p

My dreams sure can be strange, though. :p


Working on music for Sunday. This seriously used to stress me out but now I just enjoy it :whistle:
Oh what kind of music are you working on? That sounds so cool!
Good luck with it. :)

Whenever I read these sermons that ask why God uses some people more than others and the answer is 'Faith' all I can do is just roll my eyes because I know how full of crap they are. I'm sure whoever writes those sermons would have far more use for a professional guitarist than a teenage amateur for the church music ministry. I'm sure he would also have far more use for a rich tither raking in the big bucks than the old lady giving what little pension she gets. I'm also quite confident that he would have also have far more use for a man who graduated Harvard than a man who works as a janitor. Faith is irrelevant when you have so much to offer thanks to your giftedness.

Sometimes this religion is a fricken joke.

Peter denied Christ 3 times, but Christ undid that by forgiving Peter, asking if he loves Him 3 times.
Throughout the Bible, God strengthens the weak/broken and turns them into leaders: Moses, Jacob, David, ect.

So yeah, I have to agree @Wayholka that a lot of sermons out there we have to use with a lot of discernment and relying on God for that understanding. :yellowheart:

I heard all of Canada except for where I'm at (Atlantic) is going to have a cold, snowy winter. Where I'm at is supposed to be really warm.

Not joking haha, read it on yahoo news.

So um... yeah...:burglar:

This is one of my favorite quotes, Way. Just keep it in mind when you see stuff like that.

“It is the habit, if not the consistent practice, of God to pull from the fringes of darkness His brightest lights.”

That's definately a quote worth saving.

I don't doubt that God loves to use those with troubled pasts, I just think that God uses some more than others on the basis of what that person can do with the talents He gave them. Obviously God and His followers are going to want a leader like Billy Graham because of his supreme preaching skills and wisdom rather than someone like me whom most American Christians would rather see on the streets than to accept help from the government for having a set of 'gifts' and 'talents' that are considered "not good enough".

It's hard being the one talent servant when no one respects you for it. I suspect that's why the servant buried his talent.
