Profile

Name:Daniel
Home: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
About Me: I used to believe that evolution was reasonable, that homosexuality was genetic, and that people became Christians because they couldn't deal with the 'reality' that this life was all there was. I used to believe, that if there was a heaven - I could get there by being good - and I used to think I was more or less a good person. I was wrong on all counts. One day I finally had my eyes opened and I saw that I was not going to go to heaven, but that I was certainly going to suffer the wrath of God for all my sin. I saw myself as a treasonous rebel at heart - I hated God for creating me just to send me to Hell - and I was wretched beyond my own comprehension. Into this spiritual vacuum Jesus Christ came and he opened my understanding - delivering me from God's wrath into God's grace. I was "saved" as an adult, and now my life is hid in Christ. I am by no means sinless, but by God's grace I am a repenting believer - a born again Christian.

The Buzz

Daniel's posts are almost always pastoral and God centered. I appreciate and am challenged by them frequently. He has a great sense of humor as well.
- Marc Heinrich

His posts are either funny or challenging. He is very friendly and nice.
- Rose Cole

[He has] good posts, both the serious like this one, and the humorous like yesterday. [He is] the reason that I have restrained myself from making Canadian jokes in my posts.
- C-Train

This post contains nothing that is of any use to me. What were you thinking? Anyway, it's probably the best I've read all day.
- David Kjos

Daniel, nicely done and much more original than Frank the Turk.
- Jonathan Moorhead

There are some people who are smart, deep, or funny. There are not very many people that are all 3. Daniel is one of those people. His opinion, insight and humor have kept me coming back to his blog since I first visited earlier this year.

Exponential spike...

I was glancing at my site stats just now, and saw that there was a ridiculous number of first time visitors to my blog on Saturday (twenty times above normal!). Clearly, it wasn't my charm (or lack thereof) which caused this sudden, exponential popularity. My guess is that the potent combo of vasectomies, birth control, and scripture draws 'em in like flies.

That is interesting of course, but not in a good way.

Hi, Daniel:

Is there a post or group of posts containing your testimony (apart from your profile)? I kind of got that impression from the comment you left on my blog, but when I started reading from April 2005 forward, I just found various theological bits and pieces (not that there's anything wrong with that!)....

Sewing,

I thought I had a clear link to it, but here it is. There is more autobiographical information in the left hand column under the heading autobiographical.

Great, thank you! I'll try to read it a couple of paragraphs at a time.
