Rooms and Door Frames
I’m working at College this summer to make some cash, one of my jobs is to paint rooms with a fresh coat of magnolia. These rooms have been lived in since they were last painted about a year or two ago and you can see the tell tale signs like chipped paint, faded areas, marks on the walls, etc. All this got me thinking.
What if we are the rooms? What if I’m a room and God is the...
Twitter
I’m just going through my teitter account deleting (or unfollowing) people and searching for new people to follow. Just thought that the people you follow, with their 160 characters, are people who you might let influence your life. Whatever they say (tweet) you receive and you read, the tweets are not always well thought out and are usually not about anything too important. But passively...

Redemptive Suicide ***Spoiler!***
I’ve just finished watching Seven Pounds starring Will Smith and I have varied opinions on suicide and try not to automatically take the “Oh it’s just selfish” slant but this is the first ‘thought-out’ suicide that I think has really challenged me. When using the term ‘thought-out’ I mean planned, if you push someone out of harm’s way and...
Pleasing
If it’s virtually impossible to keep all the important people in my life happy then should I;
A) Continue to try to please them, knowing that I will fail
B) Reassessing my List Of People To Please, knowing that it won’t be any shorter
C) Pack in, shut my screaming conscious up and don’t bother, just make sure that I’m happy and not mortally harming anyone.
