Pobody’s Nerfect

This week the sermon at Parkdale was on 1 Peter 2:13-25. This is a great passage about Christ’s perfect life and his great substitutionary sacrifice. As a part of the sermon the deacon (our Pastor is on vacation) shared a story.

Asshole

Last night I step onto the elevator on the 14th floor of my building. Just before stepping on a guy steps off. The little light didn’t clear to indicate that this was my elevator, but I stepped on anyway thinking it was a little glitch (as sometimes happens). I pressed the B1 [...]

Happiness is Attractive

You know those women who feel and act as if the world is out to get them? Everything bad that could happen to them, happens to them. It’s just one thing after another. No day is a simple day to them. Do they realize how unattractive that is?

One Elevator is Hardly Enough

I’ve lived in an apartment building for four years now (minus a year). This is more than enough time to come across some interesting characters, such as the lady who chirps while walking down the hall, or the loud guy who wants to be everyone’s friend. But it’s also a lot of time [...]
