Some people think being a full-time youth pastor (or any pastor for that matter) is very easy money. You can see it in their eyes when they ask “What do you do all week?” (if I had a dollar for every time…). Agreed, I don’t have to perform endless hours of manual labour, but believe you me… pastoring does have [...]
The following video will blow your mind… trust me.
You are feasting your eyes upon the blog formally known as Burton’s DeLorean.
I grew tired of looking at the 2008 layout, and since discovering that the DeLorean is on Time magazine’s 50-worst-cars-of-all-time list (click here), the name just had to go.
So here you have it… May I present to you ‘B is for Burton’ (kinda catchy if I do [...]
Today is the last day of my holiday ;-(
To cheer myself up, I’ve decided to work on a new look for this blog. The layout will be a bit random in the process with strange links, images etc. so please be patient.

PaisleyJade just finished reading a story about wolves, entitled ‘A Wolf Story’ (witty title), by James Byron Huggins (her review is over at flannelgraph).

I was researching broad-tipped arrow heads (Deadfall got me curious) when I stumbled [...]
Those of us raised on a regular media diet in the 80’s will remember well Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I was all nostalgic the other day, and watched it on DVD (the first time in nearly twenty years). I must say that I was appalled by the human-sacrifice-to-Kali-goddess-of-death-by-thugge-cult-fanatics-in-temple-under-palace scene. The ‘Fast Forward’ button was used fuequently. Perhaps, [...]
Nana passed away when I was a tween. She lived out of town and I never saw her all that much. She was an elderly, eccentric, half-Italian lady, who knew a lot of grief in her lifetime.
One memory of her that always makes me smile is the time she stayed with us a few days during the school holidays [...]
Q: What do you get when you cross Flipper with Jaws?A: A fish that will bite you in half then save you from drowning.
But seriously folks, as a follow up to my Surfing With Jaws story, I would like to retell the events which happened at a local beach (about 45 minute’s drive from here) in 2004.
Four people were doing [...]
