I acknowledge that I had sinned. I had pursued sin in the hope that it would bring me happiness, comfort, power, control, stability, strength, joy. Sin promises all of those things. It looks alluring and seduces you, always tempting you with the belief that you don't already have enough in your life and that you [...]

On Tuesday, November 10, 2009, I used up half of a vacation day at work so that I could commute over to our State Capitol and show my support for a bill being brought in front of a Senate Committee. I'm of course referring to the Wisconsin State Senate--not the 100-member Washington D.C.-based Senate you [...]

I am not an atheist and I never could be one. But it seems that in this day and age, atheism has become the new popular and cool philosophy to fit in with. Everybody's doing it. I do not find atheism repulsive and terrible. Atheism, at face value, is simply the belief that there is [...]

A recent trend among the Facebook-addicted to further bolster the narcissistic web-trendy persona has been to take a series of online quizzes that automatically post their results to your profile.

The last couple days haven't been my best. I'm doing better now, but I was really having a hard time for awhile. There have been some moments where I was so absolutely gripped with fear and depression that I've lost all focus and literally broken down and cried. If you are reading this and think [...]

I had a bit of a minor car accident tonight. I drove to Sheboygan in my car, then drove back in my dad's truck, in order to transport my new TV to the new apartment. As I was driving along highway 151 south into Madison, the truck suddenly jostled a whole bunch like I had [...]

I'm actually somewhat exhausted right now, so I can't make any promises about the length or depth of this post, even though a lot has happened over the last week or so, especially just this weekend. Last Sunday, I had my final exam in Linear Programming, which was quite difficult indeed, but I pulled it [...]

Last Tuesday, as I said I would, I voted for Obama. This does not mean that I have mind-melded with him and I unilaterally support everything he wishes to do. As I mentioned earlier, for instance, I am pro-life. Instead, what this does mean, is that I believe it is the duty of every citizen [...]

A little while ago, I made an announcement to my friends on Facebook that I wanted to read the full text of the Bible from cover to cover. Just recently, I've followed through and started doing that lately. I created a small little page to track my progress, and I've been writing notes with each [...]

Usually when I post I have a road map in my mind of where I want the post to go, what points I want to make, etc. Right now I don't have any of that, but I still feel like I need to write. Just a weird mood, I guess. So this might end up [...]
