Client: “ETA for getting the new header coded? Chris was under the impression you could hit the “code header” button and it would be done by now.”
Me: “Can you get me one of those?”
This is my typical everyday response to a lot of my colleagues. :P
Worship Team Hero
clearliquor:
Worship Team Hero. You play a worship leader of a big time Church in downtown Calgary. As with all worship teams, you must recruit a band (or two) composed entirely of Churched individuals who think they are skilled in their instrument, when really, they are mediocre at best. You must develop a repetoire of worship songs. You will train your transposition and arranging skills as...
Masking Smiles
I wear a mask of smiles and cheer To hide the pain within the fear And bring some joy to others
I wear a mask of smiles and gladness Keeping at bay signs of sadness So that none may bear my burden
I wear a mask of smiles and shines Holding back complaints and whines And my life then appears spotless
I wear a mask of smiles unwillingly To protect from pain inflicted on me And no one sees the...

Strange
This week has been mega crazyinsanemadness busy. But instead of it being busy in a “oh crap i’m not getting anywhere with this and it’s time to try something else” way, it’s more positive than that - it’s become a “ok we’ve succeeded at something, now we need to finalize it and get it set in stone and publicize etc etc” kind of busy.
Which, in...

Don't Be Mistaken.
Impulsiveness should not be mistaken for bravery, nor thoughtless haste for faith, nor flowery eloquence for communication or depth of thought, nor outspokenness for expressiveness, nor vocality for maturity, nor brashness for necessity or strength, nor opinion for truth or universality.
Similarly, one should not mistake another’s silence for stupidity, nor passiveness for ignorance, nor meekness...
Holding a job or earning an income doesn’t necessarily make you any more mature a person.

A Letter To A Friend
Dear Mark,
I don’t know if you remember me, much less remember this event that i’m going to write about here. You might not, and i don’t blame you if you don’t because it might have just been something normal to you on a Tuesday, but it was something that has proved so critical to me 10 years down the road, right now.
Yes, it really was a Tuesday when this happened.

Dinner Stories
A man sat down with his family for dinner one day, and as was their practice, they held hands and said grace.
“Thank you God, for the delicious food, and for all the lovely things you have blessed with! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
But as they dug into the food, the words that were heard over the dinner table from the man’s mouth were very different.
“Why’s the soup...

The Audience of One
…and so sit, please, and let me tell you a story once again.
There was once a young talented pianist - a prodigy, in fact. Rare were such people of his caliber, that he had well earned the nickname “Beethoven” many times over, after the famous composer himself. His expression on the ivories were unparalleled, and so it was no surprise that when he was to play for a solo recital...
