Hope Centre Outing

Mar

2007

It’s been a busy day, which makes the reheated blackberry pie and cold milk go down even better. It started early (for a Saturday, at least) when I went into the office to setup some stuff for the switch-over of our main contact management / scheduler program. I stayed late Friday night working on that ...

Hello World!

I thought it would be nice to have news items on here. After experimenting with 1&1’s easyRSS I decided to hand-code the news feature instead. easyRSS just wasn’t flexible enough for my liking. So there you have it!

Why Couldn’t They Be 60 MILE/hr Zones?

Feb

2007

My CRX si likes to go fast. She enjoys being in 3rd gear at 4100 RPM. And, I must admit, I am often more than happy to oblige her. However, most of my trips are just short runs into Newcastle and back home. And the most direct route is utterly devoid of 80 km/h zones, ...

Right Hand of Offense

Sep

2006

Note – this could be considered a bit gruesome. A while back I was reading a book that compared Jesus’ teaching in Matt. 5:29-30 (“if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you;”) to a story of a man whose hand was trapped by a rock out in ...

Camping Coffee

2006

This follows the same vein as “The Smoke, It Doth Get in Mine Eyes”. It is also inspired by real life camping experience. I’m thinking particularily of my Algonquin canoe trip with Jason and Pete (both non coffee drinkers). I’d taken lots of instant coffee along and lots of sugar but somehow the stuff ended ...

Here’s to You Girls

In today’s society of the fashion of less I respect the girls who fight the flow and wear modest attire. This poem is for them. By Chris M. Sissons Here’s to the girls who walk for milesThrough rows and rows of clothing aislesWhose eyes pick out the modest styles. They don’t dress by what’s called ...

We’re Canadian, Eh

2005

My sis and I wrote this for Talent Night at the 2005 OCRC young people conference hosted by the Lynden YP out in Washington, US. We rapped it to a little hip hop track I built. I was mighty nervous and shaking and didn’t do nearly as well as I’d hoped but it was still ...

Words That Healed the Hurt Slightly

Aug

2005

Based on Jer. 6:14-20 This song was inspired by a sermon I heard at the Sunday service we attended in La’Mable, during our Rock Sands cottage week. I’ve got chunks of its tune in mind. The music and vocal style would be similar to Project 86 or Pillar – a mixture of singing and shouting ...

The Smoke, It Doth Get in Mine Eyes

2005

OK, so this little rhyme came to mind while I was walking in the concrete jungle of downtown Newcastle, but it expresses the frustration I’ve experienced while struggling to kindle a fire in the real wilderness on several occasions. I thought I might as well post it here. The Smoke, It Doth Get in Mine ...
