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.

The World Famous
Word Verification
Free Association Game™ #3

Well, it is Friday, and a new year, and that means verification word acronym haikus.

Today's haiku speciality will be rhyme - you must make your haiku rhyme. I know, I know, Haikus aren't supposed to rhyme, but that is the order for the day.

If you have never played before, all comments must be in the format of a three line haiku poem (the first line has five syllables, the second seven syllables, and the last line five syllables), and you must furthermore use blogger's word verification as an acronym for your haiku - such that if your verification word was ssxpbii, your haiku would have to have seven words each beginning with (in order) the letters of the verification word. To add pizazz, this week the haiku's must rhyme somewhere:

thus: [verification word] SSXPBII

(5 syllables) Sufficiently slow
(7 syllables) Xylophone players blow (note the rhyme)...
(5 syllables) Internal items.

Okay, it isn't very good, but it is quite a job making it rhyme and using all the letters of the verification word

Word Verification

Game #2

Since David Kjos can't seem to get enough of this, here is the second installment.

The rules are the same - look at your verification word, and use the letters (in order of appearance) as the first letters to each word in a sentence that speaks about some specific topic.

Today's topic is... "haiku". Good luck.
