Love...


No i do not mean love as in, me getting married next year like i originally planned (jokingly, of course). But i mean love as in, loving in a community.

Moving to the ol' Prov hole and Winnipeg has definitely been good for me. But one thing i seem to struggle with lately is living in this community known as Prov. We are called to love one another. Does that necessarily mean liking them? I mean lets be honest, there is always that one person who really "grinds your gears," so to speak.

I really try to get along with everyone, but at times it is really tough. I do not want to be that Christian dude who is so extreme that he carries around a flask of holy water at all times or something. Ok that was a little too extreme, but oddly enough Peter Popoff comes to mind.

I guess lately i have been feeling a slight sense of conviction when it comes to living in this community, and also life in general. It takes alot of effort, more than i am putting in, i think.

I know this was a bit melodramatic, but these have been my thoughts as of late.

Be Blessed.

Downtown...

There is just something about the downtown of a city that i love. It doesn't necessarily have to be Winnipeg either. I just love being downtown. Minus Regina, that city sucks. I like being surrounded by humongous buildings. Some people from small towns really seem to be intimidated by a city. I have never really felt that, i just embrace it.

Me and some friends went for coffee today downtown at the FYXX. It was definitely a good time. It was interesting to see the variety of people who would pass through that coffee shop. Mostly college students, but there was also a few derelicts who you would never suspect to see in this little artsy coffee shop.

Peace

This Is Depressing....

Well today is the day where i had to pay my dues. Aka, student loans. It is a weird feeling to have so much money and then in an instant, it is gone. Although it is for a worthy cause (my education), it is a tad depressing. Oh well. I really don't like dealing with money. But i guess that is inevitable.

Peace
