Worry

November 25th, 2011

Worrying is an exhaustive feeling. It's amazing how this single feeling can chisel away at confidence and self-esteem. Consuming time while twisting your gastrointestinal tract, it truly is a horen.....

A Living Model

September 28th, 2011

Ever since I was a little kid, hummingbirds have always been so elusive. Their mysterious nature makes them almost mythical. I never really saw a hummingbird growing up, even though my mom did.....

A Thin Line

August 3rd, 2011

The workplace is a very dynamic environment. For example, here are two polar opposite working scenarios:

1) Co-workers are friends. There are jokes, stories, and little group pow-wows. Bad .....

What Do You Believe?

March 30th, 2011

This morning I started thinking about religion, I don't know why.

I used to say all religions worship the same God with slightly different rules. I know now that this is.....

Christmas Season

December 28th, 2010

Christmas is such a wonderful holiday. We get to spend time with family and friends, enjoy great food, and spend some time relaxing (after all the stress of course). This year I have taken several .....

The Glass House

September 8th, 2010

I was reading through some old posts and I found something that peaked my interest. Here goes an elaboration on a retired thought.

I believe we all live in a huge glass house. The house is .....

Identity

January 19th, 2010

Jason Bourne is practically a household name. The writers of the Bourne Trilogy captured audiences everywhere. Just as a refresher, Jason Bourne was shot on a yacht in the very beginning of the sto.....

A Holiday Is On Its Way

November 22nd, 2009

It's amazing how time flies. I've been in my apartment for a year and a half already, been working as a veterinarian almost as long, and now I'm looking at houses. Life outside of school seems to e.....

Off Guard

March 8th, 2009

Over the past couple years, I've developed strong opinions about worship. And over the last several weeks they have been obliterated. Looking back on these ideas about God and church, I've realized.....

Perspective

March 5th, 2009

I've spent the last several months working my way through a book called, "The Irresistible Revolution." Finding time to read is difficult with my schedule, but this necessary escape helps release m.....

New Year - 2009

January 4th, 2009

As this new year rolls into gear, I figured I better write down some New Year Resolutions. Otherwise, I probably won't write down any goals for the year. Living on my own this year, these resolutio.....

Confidence

October 2nd, 2008

Julius, a good friend of mine, asked me a question the other day. What makes you confident?

The question caught me off guard. I didn't have a good answer, in fact I didn't have an an.....

Post-Graduation Life

July 8th, 2008

I thought I would take the time to make a post about my post-graduation life. Within this post is probably some of the most interesting things that have ever h.....

Confessions

May 11th, 2008

I spent Mother's Day morning walking. I needed to be alone. I walked to Colby Lake. The changes in the trees and the air was nothing short of heavenly. I listened as the wind weaved in and out of t.....

Baptism

March 6th, 2008

I'm quite confident that the majority of people have witnessed a baptism or have been baptized. I was baptized in the Catholic Church. Growing up in the Catholic Church I had the privelege to obser.....

Experience

February 7th, 2008

I am a firm believer in talent acquired by practice and experience. Experience is necessary in many situations, whether it be in school, relationships, or in life. Nothing prepares you better than .....

Comfortable

September 5th, 2007

I've struggled with my words the past week or two, to write a post that will intrigue all of you. The last few months I have become comfortable. Comfortable enough that I wasn't be challenged physi.....

Do Not Worry

August 13th, 2007

Easier said than done. I worry on a daily basis. For example, the past week I've almost hit two pedestrians on the street. One was a bicyclist, who was not wearing the correct reflective clothing f.....

What's More Important

March 5th, 2007

Probably my longest period of absence ends now as I write you the first entry in March. I've come to you at a time of frustration, to tell you how I feel about something. This frustration, which ha.....

Sleep In Heavenly Peace

February 12th, 2007

I was late to class this morning as I got out of my car. I was still tired from the night before as my feet worked their way underneath me. Then all at once my body stopped. I was standing over a p.....

The Depth of Love

November 22nd, 2006

Most children have at least one parent who cares for them, looks out for them, and loves them. Parents are naturally endowed with this responsibility, and most cherish it. And love comes in so many.....

Out of Control

October 24th, 2006

The last few weeks life has been out of control. Everything is out of my control, and that is okay.

When are we ever truly in control? We aren't, we never were and never will be.

One of.....

Prodigal Son

October 3rd, 2006

Genesis was very moving this week. Vicar Chad put together a very good message. I'm not going to re-tell the parable of the prodigal son or tell you what someone else thinks, but I'm going to pick .....

Why Do I Believe in God

September 2nd, 2006

A question softly spoken cannot be answered so simply. The answer indescribable with feelings no words could express. I cannot answer this question, but I will try.

I am a catholic. For the f.....

April Showers

April 2nd, 2006

These Minnesotan skies have been painted with clouds, throwing down rain and keeping the air cold. No more a reflection of April than of my weekend. I lied when I said I didn't know why I ran. The .....

Hard To Hear

November 21st, 2005

Two things this weekend, both which were difficult but with a strong point. Let's start with easier one first.

I got pulled over by a cop for the first time this weekend. I was driving home f.....

When There Was No One Else

November 11th, 2005

Before we start here, I just want to say a few words. I am not in any way trying to impose my beliefs on anyone. This is just something I needed to say, because it is how I feel. If I left it out, .....

How It's Meant To Be

September 27th, 2005

Genesis was powerful this weekend. I am telling you this now because I've just been swamped with studying. However, it is something I needed to get out there.

I don't think alot of us know th.....
