One Month

It has been one month since I have started dating my girlfriend Penny. Where did the time go? I guess that doesn't matter as I love her more she might know. I just can't wait till I have enough money to go see her. Even though this is a long distance relationship, I still love her. Happy one month anniversary babe. I hope to have many more to come. I love you very much!

Fantasie In Bubblewrap

I found this on YouTube. It is a pretty crazy yet good animated short.

The final minutes of a society of vocal bubblewrap as it faces its apocalypse.

"Bubblewrap" was completed August 2007 and has since made the festival rounds picking up some awards on its way. It is Arthur Metcalf's debut film.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Lose

It was overall a pretty good game, but we lost the Grey Cup due getting a too many men on the field penalty. That got Montreal ten yards closer. We lost by one point due to Montreal getting one that field. As they say... there is always next year.

Still Jobless

I went for an interview yesterday and I didn't get the job. I am still looking for a job. The manager of hiring gave the same job to someone else. The search continues...

The Colour Of My Sideburns

I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and saw some hairs in my sideburns that were defiantly not the colour of my hair. I was wondering if they were white or just really light coloured. So proceeded to pull some out and they looked almost white. I wonder if its the stress that has started turning my hair colour. I have had stress since being laid off from my job and looking for a new one. I seriously hope its not that.

I will keep you posted. Okay, that's all.

H1N1 Flu Shot

Many people are getting the H1N1 flu shot. But is it worth it? I don't get flu shots, so why should I get this one? Its like people are going mental over the H1N1 virus. Sure they went mental over SARS, but they never made people get a shot over this. Is this really necessary? I under that once you get it that its a serious issue. But is getting the shot over blown. I just feel likes its a waste of time. This swine flu just came out of nowhere a number of months ago. Call me stubborn, but I am just not buying into it.

On a related topic, I have a friend who has swine flu and his name is Jesse Stegeman. I know he will be alright, but I just ask that you pray for him. I am doing that as well.

Not A Saint

Yesterday I was playing around on a song I written like two years ago in college. It is entitled "Am I A Saint?" Now if anybody remembers, I wrote that song based off a passage in the Bible. Now, for the life me, I can't find that passage. It is in the New Testament. I am just paraphrasing, but it is basically says that you are a saint for believing.

I got to thinking that I am not a saint. I have always felt this way about it. When you think of saints you think of one of the newest saints and that is Mother Teresa. What did I do to deserve being called a saint? Again just believing is apparently what I did to deserved being called a saint.

When you look at saints, you see they have something to deserve the honour of being called a saint. For instance Mother Theresa went all over the world to help the lowliest of the low and tried to make life better for people who didn't have that much. I haven't do half as much as other people.

If you look throughout history, there are people who are more worthy of the title of saint. Take William Wilberforce for instance. Sure he is not a true ordained saint, but he did stuff that makes him look like a saint. For instance, he got slavery abolish in England (some of you might that isn't anything special, but it is), was a politician that fought for the rights of all, and was an Evangelical Anglican. You might think that Wilberforce didn't do anything amazing, but there are probably a lot of stuff he did that a good portion of people don't know about. I recommend you watching the movie "Amazing Grace." It it based on true stories and real events and one of the characters in the movie is William Wilberforce. I am proud to call myself Anglican because of Wilberforce, but that's another blog post for another time. But the point is that in the movie "Amazing Grace" you see Wilberforce work to abolish slavery which is no small task. He was an amazing man that is deserving of being called a saint more so than myself.

Another reason I don't think I'm a saint is because is because when you think of the word saint, you think of this perfect person. I am the furthest thing from perfect. Maybe I am generalizing the term saints. But they give off this allure of perfection which in some way I can't comprehend or measure up.

I am just trying to wrap my head about the fact that simply believing makes all the difference in terms of being a saint, yet there are a lot of more people in this world who have done more things, and deserve the title of saint.

I just need some direction about where to go with this. I guess its good revisit this and just see where I am on this. But it seems I am exactly where I am on this where I was two years ago.
