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.

For David...

Perhaps I see only the evil in all men, but I presume that the primary reason Mr. Kjos triple-dog dared me to write a "square poem" was because in writing one I would be inclined to post it, and having posted it I would be inclined to link Back to David's blog in order to give the quote some context.

Well, done David. Well done.

Without further ado, here is my square poem. If you don't know what a square poem is, you haven't read David's post.

Mouth agape in silent wonder,
Agape love tears the wound,
In tears I search around,
Silent the search is longing,
Wonder wound around longing love.

Don't tell Neil, but I thought his broke down in the middle there.

On the other hand,

My motives are questioned!
Motives may dubious be—
Are dubious motives mine?
Questioned be mine motives.

I won't tell Neil. I thought he did well, considering the length.
