Where X = Some Place, and Y = A Different Place.

Apparently, the person is a father of the drummer at Mac's C4C. I look forward to meeting his son one day. Awesome day. :D

Summa Elvetica

"All things serve a purpose; our inability to discern that purpose does not indicate its absence, only our shortcomings."
(Summa Elvetica, p. 50)

I would seriously recommend reading this book. It is a fantasy fiction similar to LOTR or Narnia with a more visible appeal to elements of Christian faith.

Best of all: It is free online, read it here.

Dear Theophilus,

No one has attempted to undertake a drawing of the account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, seeing as there are only two eyewitnesses beyond myself of this happening. Therefore, I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, so that you may know the certainty of the things that have happened over this past weekend.

In the morning, two disciples made their way to MCAC. They discussed many things including zombies, girls, and Jesus. The two lifted up prayers in the prayer room before playing volleyball with Emmanuel. The setting up of the volleyball net proved to be a challenge for the gathered believers. But, hope prevailed and after a brief warm-up period, everyone played volleyball.

The believers then gathered for a meal for pho. One of the disciples, Kevin Yee, a man filled with God's grace and power, declared his intention to buy office clothes. Kelly Chan, a dealer in purple cloth and worshiper of God, and I would take part in his adventures. The three ventured to Mordor to toss the ring into its hellish fires. The three drove to Orfus road, which turned out to be not that great. After an hour, the three decided to go to Vaughan, where Kevin found a shirt.

It was decided that everone would congregate at the home of Vicki, who can explain the way of God more adequately. These were the members in attendance: Eleasa, always doing good and helping the poor. Kat, lovely in form and features [side note: I hope by now you realize that I am making references to characters in the Bible. | side note II: Also, there aren't that many women in the bible, so gimme a break. Kat is the least likely to read this, and make it awkward.] Kevin Leung, a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith. The group engaged in games of Pooh bag, Monopoly, and Life with each taking their own leave as the night wore on.

The next day, the disciples went to MCAC and Pastor Simon raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 1 Peter 3:15,16! Sunday School was led by Paul Wan, circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless. (But, he counts that as a loss now in comparison to knowing Christ.) He spoke on the Great Commission, and making disciples.

Richard and Kevin Yee, then felt it prudent to ditch the member's meeting and have lunch with family. This is where this account ends. I hope to address some of the other happenings in future writings. Peace and Grace.

Rare Pieces Pt. 2

Even though it is a year old, I think this article speaks truth.

Edit:

Oh destruction. According to this, my odds are worse.

Imma Attack You Pt. 2

After much contemplation last night, I have come to a conclusion.

Richard's Law of People Hitting Him and Stuff:

As the age of the girl increases, her fear decreases, and the intensity and frequency of hitting increases.
As the age of the boy increases, his fear increases, and the intensity and frequency of hitting decreases.

I will include graphical representation, documented incidents, and experimental results in a future post.

In the news

"Gamers are twice as likely to go out on dates as nongamers in a given month."

well, there you have it. With the amount of games I am playing, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a line of women outside my door. But, wait...to date those women... I would have to stop playing games. It is like some horrible form of torture.

Answer: Imma attack you!

What is the phrase exclaimed by the 3 year old warrior that pounced on me during a Bible Study several weeks ago?

I figured I would share. His parents were not amused.

Me, I don't understand what it is about me that causes little girls to shirk in fear and inspires little boys to acts of bravery. (Granted, I would not normally consider preemptive strikes as courageous deeds.)

Rare Pieces

After extensive Monopoly Research I have concluded the following pieces are rare:

Purple - Mediterranean Ave*
Light Blue - Vermont Ave
Light Purple - Virginia Ave**
Orange - Unknown (Not New York Ave)
Red - Kentucky Ave
Yellow - Ventnor Ave
Green - Pennsylvania Ave
Blue - Boardwalk

*I am not 100% sure. I only have 1 Baltic.
**Of course, virgins would be rare.

Be forewarned, should I receive one of these rare pieces while in your company...I will be sure to make a fool of myself! I am thinking Legend of Zelda music playing in the background while I triumphantly thrust the Monopoly token skywards.
