22 Things My Parents Taught Me
My parents done good. As one of the few who have first-hand experience of being raised by them, I stand by the truth of this statement. Yesterday marked a rather significant day in my life, one which was probably pretty memorable for my parents. So in honour of the fact that they have never given … Continue reading 22 Things My Parents Taught Me
Four Months With Dana
You may not remember but about a year or so ago I wrote a post freaking out about a bunch of dizzy episodes I had, coupled with a frustrating lack of hearing. Well, praise God, it's not Meniere's syndrome. The downside is that I am still not allowed a dog but the upside is that … Continue reading Four Months With Dana
In Defense of Brotherhood
"He calls everyone brother, it's so weird." "I hardly know her and she calls me brother." "I find it so weird that he calls people brother, we're not American." I'd never heard a man call another man brother in real life until a good few years after God brought my family into the Reformed church. … Continue reading In Defense of Brotherhood
Onwards and Upwards
There are a lot of memes going around about this year. Memes about this year going around, that is. Some of them are actually quite funny.

The year has gone by so fast and yet again we seem to be approaching Christmas far too quickly.

Real Life
Old women slammed doors on eternity. We paced the streets, handing out gems to the blind and deaf. The preacher raised his hands and called us to Christ.
The Rebelutionary Road
The Rebelution is no longer just a teenage rebellion against low expectations. Because we are rebelutionaries, we rejected the Neverland nature of our generation. The inevitable yet desirable has happened: we have grown up. And everything has changed and nothing has changed since we first began to walk the Rebelutionary Road
Partly Accident, Wholly Grace (testimony part 2)
It's sort of snowing outside but it's warm in here. The table is slightly wobbly. They all are, it's one of the quirks of the place and the reason we usually sit on the sofas in the corner. Savinni's is my favourite. It has been since I first came to Dingwall all that time ago. … Continue reading Partly Accident, Wholly Grace (testimony part 2)
Marvin K.
It had just started to snow that soggy, icy kind of snow as the Inverness train pulled out of Haymarket Station. I wasn't going to Ness though, I was going home, and that line in itself is telling. It is also telling that the first thing I did when I sat down was stare out … Continue reading Marvin K.
