Matthew 22:46. I laughed out loud when I read that. My version of the Bible would say it like this:
[45] If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son? BOOYAH.” [46] And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

Thank you.
To those who offered encouragement in light of my recent post. Thanks guys. That is very much appreciated. It’s been a long time since I’ve reached a point that low. I know what depression is. I know how to beat it. I’ve been in this fight for going on 11 years. Sometimes though….stuff happens, ya know? However, I truly believe there’s a reason.
I’d much...

I’m beginning to notice how much I’ve changed in just a couple of years. I don’t know if I like it or not. Can other sufferers of depression please tell me the secret to keeping interest in anything? Everything I take up an interest in gets murdered by depression eventually. Unfortunately this very blog is one of those things. Despite the fact that blogging helped my depression...

Yes or no? Sounds too much like a metal song in my head. Not that metal is bad, I’m just not sure that’s where I was going with this.

You know how if you sit on your foot it cuts off the blood flow and your foot goes numb? I’ve just figured something out. My soul is not dead after all…it’s just asleep. I’ve weighed my soul down with sin and negativity and hindered God’s love from flowing through it. The feeling is already coming back now that I’ve stacked all that garbage at the foot of the...

Emergency situation!
Please…does anyone know where I can get a Turboman doll? Every store I’ve gone to only has Booster left. Running out of options and I’ve got a parade to go to soon. Plus I’m pretty stressed cause Phil Hartman lives next door and he’s been hitting on my wife and eating my cookies. What a freak this guy is. He brought a reindeer home. A REINDEER! Where does one even...

Hello,
Glad to see you again. I know I haven’t been around a lot lately, but I haven’t forgotten about you. Things have been busy… and they’re about to get busier. God has blessed me with a new job, which I’ll be starting next week. Through December, I’ll be working for my current job AND the new one. By day I’ll be working at a retail store during the busiest...

Security Auditor: Let's say you're stocking the shelf, and you look over and see someone possibly trying to steal a DVD. What should you do in that situation?
Me: Well...if it's a woman, I'd punch them.
Auditor: *awkward laughter*
Me: Do I pass?

What happened to the clarity of mind I once had when writing? I feel like I’m getting as bad at putting thoughts together when writing as I’ve always been when speaking. There are exactly 204,374,002 thoughts running through my brain, and when I reach out to grab one, I pull out this tangled mess of words that can’t possibly be formed into a coherent thought. Dangit. I’ve...

Things I think about when sleep won't come.
Have you ever put on a shirt that you haven’t worn in so long, you’ve switched detergents since the last time you wore it? I love doing that. Once I’ve used a certain detergent for a while, I become immune to its scent. So when I put something on I haven’t worn forever, I notice the smell of the old detergent….and it feels good to walk around noticing how fresh you...

Sounds of the season
Isn’t it weird how we associate certain memories with scents or sounds? We’re playing Christmas music at the store again (yes, already) and it’s the same garbage music from last year. I was in a terrible place mentally around Christmas time last year. So now when I’m at work, I feel like I’m listening to the soundtrack of my depression. When business slows down and I...

How are we going?
Anyone started?
I am doing pretty well, I think. ;-)
Anyone got any favorite memory techniques?
I have a little advantage in that I memorized it once before, a year or so ago. A good tip I learned is to always say the reference before and after the passage. If I quote a verse, I like to be able to tell where it is. I can retain the verses themselves...
I'm so unworthy, yet still you love me.
Forever my heart will sing of how great you are.
No turning back. Goodnight. :)

I’m finally memorizing scripture again. Somehow I forgot how helpful and important it is. I invite you to join me in memorizing this passage. Yeah, it’s long, but we’ve got a week to do it.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be...

Somehow I’ve built the reputation of being the funny guy who always has something random to say. If I’m quiet, people bother me about it. Can’t a guy be melancholic without getting grief over it? I am thankful that someone cares enough to ask me what’s wrong. The problem is … I say “nothing”, and I’m actually being honest about it, but they keep...

I said once before that Project Glockenspiel started out on a different site as my private prayer journal. Well tonight I decided to go back and start journaling my prayers again. I went and read my previous posts and I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I last updated. I’m not sure what to think…because tonight I’m praying for the same struggles I had to pray...

I think that reading Christian books about growing in faith, or encouragement, either by any Christian writer, I think God can use those books to help bring more revelation. But in the end, the word of God should be final authority. Test the spirits, and weigh them with the word of God. Ask God, should I be reading this book? Is this true...
