After reading The God
Who Drowns I checked out some of the comments that were made by
Waitterant’s readers. There were many
people who responded by saying “Thank you. This is exactly how I feel
sometimes.” or “I’m so glad there are others out there who feel the same
way.” His feelings really resonated with
a lot of people. But there [...]

I regularly read a blog called Waiterrant. I appreciate this writer’s sense of humor and
his honesty. A while back he wrote an
entry about Hurricane Katrina and all those who were not saved and died
gruesome deaths. He was struggling with
the question of suffering and why these terrible things happen and why, if
there is a God, doesn’t [...]
Skeptical
27Sep05I find these quizzes semi-amusing but what I think is funny is how surprised I am when they are wrong about me! This is ridiculous considering they are making conclusions based on a very small number of questions that pigeonhole you into certain categories that may not describe you very well. It shouldn’t surprise [...]
I was taller than my grade four teacher.
I am still afraid of the dark.
Therefore, I HATE sardines and other games played in dark church basements.
I don’t read your email forwards, especially when they start with
“Important! Don’t delete this email!”
I struggle with depression.
I am secretly proud of my long legs even though I complain [...]
Letter to a new mother
25Sep05I know a number of women who are expecting their first babies in the
next several months. It is always funny talking to someone who is
expecting their first because women who have children derive this evil
pleasure out of trying to scare the crap out of new moms by sharing
each gory detail of their pregnancy, labour, delivery [...]
An unexpected gift
23Sep05I am so completely floored right now I can hardly put sentences
together! I have been given a most unexpected and extremely
generous gift. But let me start at the beginning….
I have been a Juvenile Diabetic for 12 and a half years. This
disease has ruled my life day in and day out. It dictates when I eat,
when [...]
Trying something new
22Sep05I’m giving a new look a try here. I’m not sure what I’m going to end up with finally but I’m just fiddling around a bit.

a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. Even
though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your
steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr

A Live Journal Honeymoon
21Sep05I am obviously on a kind of honeymoon with the whole Live Journal thing because everything that I think of is automatically transposed into an LJ entry. But I’m writing it anyway. I think it’s good for me and I’m sure my enthusiasm will wear off eventually. So feel free to ignore this. [...]
Goodbye
20Sep05My brother-in-law died of cancer this past August. His personality always rubbed me the wrong way. I tried to be open-minded but his manner was very aggressive and I always felt like he thought he had all the answers and if I (or anyone) disagreed with him then we were written off as “an idiot”.
