World Youth Day 2008 is over, with lots of up and it's share of downs. Here is a sort of recap. For the World Youth Days accomidations my group was lead to the olypic park in sydney, then onto the DOME, where we sleept on solid concrete for 5 straight nights. We got used to it over time but never did get enough sleep. However that could have been because of the early morning cathecisms that

I will not be getting in a habit of one a day, but I have a little time and alot to share.Today I went out on the great reef barrier, the 7th wonder of the world. And now I know why it is considered a wonder. I got suited in a wet suit with snorkel gear and stuff and sliped out the back of a boat into thousands of miles of water. As I got acustom to the different breathing style a very large

Good Day,I know I haven't blogged in a while, but today I have something special. I am writting to you from Cairns Australia. I with 7 of my friends decided to come here to World Youth Day together.Three years ago I decided to have no money so that I could afford this trip, and now the experience begins. For those of you how don't know WYD is the largest gathering of youth in the world.

'Therefore confess your sins to each other an pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective'. James 5:16I wonder how much power my prayers have? I mean I don't feel, or think that I am all that righteous. So does that mean that my prayers are ineffective and weak?It is strange that today I don't feel as drawn to the first part of this

Hey, I know it has been a long time (almost a year, ouch), since I have loaded anything here, but I have something to say now so here I go.I have just started my masters in Biblical Text linguistics, focus on the Hebrew Bible. It is funny, maybe actually strange how the study of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), as actually at times challenged my catholic faith. From the ancient use of the

A couple of days ago I was asked by a real deep teen about identity. They wanted to know about sharing their real selves to people, and the fear of rejection. At the time I was stump at what to say. Because she was right not everyone can or will accept the true selves within; the selves that God created. We are called as Christians to be that person that God created and not to be phony. But

Hey everyone,Well at this point everyone seems to be limited to my faithful friends the Barrett girls. That's ok I can deal. I have great plans for you, plans for you to prosper.Well I am working on a couple of topics to share about but they aren't quite ready yet. Now I coul dmake them ready, but for some reason I am completly unmotivated to do so. You see I feel unmotivated to do pretty

Alright as you can see I haven't been doing this whole bloging thing very well. This is actually my second attempt at a blog, and it doesn't seem to be going well. The last time it didn't work I gave up and started a new one. I thought about doing that again, but I changed my mind. I think instead I need to follow through on my original commitment to share my triumph and struggles when it

Human conflict is something we all deal with everyday. How we handle it seems to constantly change. As Disciples of Christ we are to always react with love. Obviously that is much easier said then done. So how do we worship God through our interactions with people who don’t lift us up. I guess the answer is to try. When people get mad at us, yell at us, or refer to us in a condescending

hey everyone. well it's late but for some reason I felt I needed to say my bit for the day. I was just thinking about the many people in my life. Like just today I had a practice with my worship team. The different people, with different experiences and different ideas can make some very interesting (and fun) situation. But it is kind of a random group. All from different parishes, we

I am one of the most disorganized people in the world, I swear. My bedroom usually is covered by a couple feet of stuff. I end up having to spend an entire day to tidy it up. The funny thing is that sometimes I think my life plays with my room. This is what I mean.My room is not the only place that I am disorganized. I get behind on my schol work, I forget to do things for my worship team,

Hey, today I want to talk about one of the weakness in the Catholic Church. I used to be evangelical, I even went to Bible College, so I end up having different view points on certain things within my now Catholic faith. One of them being the lack of tithing. Alright I know that this is not a general catholic problem, but it seems to be a pretty serious one in Quebec. Our churches need this

You know power is a stange thing. I think I am only starting to figure out the human desire for power. For example you look at Genesis Chapter 2. You got Adam and Eve in the Gaden of Eden, they've been given everything they could ever need, but that wasn't enough. No they wanted to be like God, they wanted the power. So many people have told me that the original sin was lust or lack of obedience

This is my second blog. The first one people could not post, so I decided that I needed a new one. I like dialogue, I enjoy critism, and I want to share. Share what? My thoughts, my faith, my life. So this is where I will attempt to share my life, and what is at the heart of life, WORSHIP.
