instead of work

Jan posted a copy of the picture (instead of work) that was posted at work. Perhaps you need a copy? Within an hour, the following had been added in handwriting to the list:surf the internetwrite on a white boardcatch up... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

The wait

Sun, 08/03/2008 - 11:39
I awoke this morning certain of the time for the church service. Perhaps it's because I haven't been in a while, but I was only an hour off. So I went online to find "The Call" as suggested by Atticus.... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

hodge-podge

I awoke this morning with full intentions of visiting the local farmers' market; specifically, I wanted fresh raspberries. I departed, picking up some coffee along the way. The farmers' market is located in the heart of downtown, on a blocked... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Ingenuity at work

What to do when one wears the cutest new dress to work, leaves one's umbrella in the car and attempts to leave said workplace during a torrential downpour / lightening storm: 1) Find large black garbage bag, preferably unused. Often... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

The words

Sun, 07/20/2008 - 17:08
I have been trying to figure a lot of things out lately. Part of it is my ongoing discussion with Atticus on a previous post: understanding God's call. (Or, better put, understanding waiting.) Part of it is having had a... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

In the trash

Fri, 07/18/2008 - 12:48
I try to recycle. I put my Tim Horton's coffee cups (and lids!) in the recycle bin. I don't get flyers anymore. I try to reduce product packaging. I opt for reusable shopping bags or reuse/recycle the ones I have.... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

By way of introduction

I haven't had one of these posts for a while now: Reflections on internet dating relationships. I was going to leave instructions for how to write a basic profile (grammar/spelling, be positive, tell the truth). I have seen a good... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Hippie music

Fri, 07/11/2008 - 19:14
A friend of mine jokingly refers to my music collection as "that hippie music" ... most notably after I lend it to his wife. He also notes that I stop listening to it when it starts to become popular, i.e.... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Meant for doing this

After 700 years of doing what he was built for, he'll discover what he was meant for. Wall•e, PixarI wonder if I get it the other way around, or perhaps not at all. I tend to think I know what... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Just stuff

Mon, 06/30/2008 - 12:55
I went to see Wall•e yesterday. Pixar rarely disappoints. I think because they are so adept at personifying their characters. Toys, animals, monsters, cars or robots ... they all emote. So, of course, Wall•e and Eve are adorable. Spoiler? (hover)... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Vision and preparation

Tue, 06/17/2008 - 11:36
One piece of the puzzle just isn't enough: either vision or preparation alone, without the other, won't get you anywhere. You might be fortunate to bumble along in chaos and frustration.A few months ago, I made a side note about... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

About that

When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”2 Kings... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

On a rainy afternoon

Sun, 06/08/2008 - 17:24
I took a gorgeous drive through the countryside this afternoon. People often judge the prairies, especially Saskatchewan, for being too monotonous. I fear it is due to their solitary experience of driving the TransCanada through Regina. Other than a little... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Tourist/Local

Sun, 06/01/2008 - 06:37
I received two reactions when people learnt that I would be travelling to Toronto: sheer excitement or mediocre well-wishes. Toronto is fine (for those who love it) but I'm a prairie girl at heart. I love to see the horizon;... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Ugly

Fri, 05/30/2008 - 11:15
So here's a thought. Picture stereotypical stick-figure people: the male, so reserved, stoic maybe, with arms by his sides; the female, perhaps by sole nature of that so-very-A-line dress, with arms reaching out. Here I am in TO. All rainy... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie

Off the shelf

Shane wrote recently about the trends in Christian literature:The results of this from what I can see have been: theologically shallow sermons, biblically illiterate churches, confused worldviews, and a trend to exegete the Bible based on culture rather than exegeting... http://www.mennoboy.com/jenjie
