In the eye of the beholder

So recently I’ve been feeling a little bit down. It’s no secret I’ve been on the job hunt, as are many of my friends, though most of my friends are unemployed instead of a minimum hour contract. But essentially we’re all in the same boat. I’ve sent my CV out to dozens of employers. I’ve…

New Years Resolution

I make resolutions every year. The traditional ones like: exercise regularly, eat healthier… They all usually appear in my long list of ways to better myself for the New Year. Usually I don’t make it to the end of January. Maybe I make too many, maybe I try to improve myself more than is humanly…

Being Thankful

So I thought it’d be a really cool idea to post a blog about being thankful on Thanksgiving day. I know, what a concept! How has no one ever thought of it before? However, I had this idea on Thursday. Before work. Then I had youth club that I help at. Then I had more…

Christmas Rant

It’s very well established that Ellen and I both have some sort of mutated Christmas gene that means we get superbly over excited about the festive season. I’ve come across far too many Scrooges to know that Christmas is pretty much resented by most. But for me, it is truly a magical time of year….

Feminism – Why I Don’t Like It

As controversial as it is to say, I really don’t buy into the whole concept of feminism. I understand people have died to achieve equal rights over the course of history, but I’m talking about everything since then. Modern feminism. I am very grateful, and extremely thankful that people have in the past and still…

The fear

We all get it. When you really, really, really want to say something, then you bottle it and keep it inside. During our Sunday evening services at my church, we sometimes hold times of open worship. I love God with all my heart, I’m so beyond grateful to him for everything and everyone in my life, I…

Words to live by

From an earlier post, you might notice that I kind of love Martyn Joseph. He’s awesome. I’m still listening to him a lot, but there’s a song I listen to that is really catchy and the lyrics are really something to live by.

It’s The Journey…

Today I went to Caerphilly Castle. A couple at my church organised the trip, and I was invited to come along. Having lived in Cardiff for 5 years, I am acutely aware of how little I’ve seen of the city and the surrounding areas. So I leapt at the chance to visit the castle. The…

Where will I be in 3 years?

I’ve been re-watching How I Met Your Mother recently, and amongst many things I’ve pondered as I’ve gone through the episodes (I reckon I could maintain a blog site purely based on HIMYM-isms) this one episode particularly struck me. Season 7 Episode 20: Trilogy Time In this particular episode, the gang sit and watch the…
