Bout time!

I’m bloggin this from Burger King.
I am also doing this on my laptop.
I haven’t had my laptop running in almost a year (maybe it has been a year). But, due to recent events I am without a computer, and so I decided to spend the little about of money it took to get a [...]

Winking is a sin - a post you should read

Check out this post by one of my good friends, Jen. Jen is one of the most sincere, nice, and funniest people I have ever known. Man, she is hilarious! I love her honesty, and since I know from whence she came and her heart I doubly love this post.
Jen, you’re [...]

Silvertide

I first heard of them in a year or so ago. I think it was around the time they released “I Ain’t Comin Home” on the radio. KLT was pumpin them big time and I was lovin it. That song “gets it” for me. They remind me of a fresh version [...]

Skubalon

Paul, the Apostle, wrote some groups of believers that he counts all the things that he once had or wanted to have in comparison with Christ as “skubalon”. Paul uses a Greek word that in his day was perhaps the most profane swear word used. It was a word used to describe the [...]

Christianity, etc, etc

A week or so ago I wrote a post about my troubles with my Christianity.
I’m still struggling with the whole thing, but I want to be clear: I know there is a God, and I want to follow Jesus. I also love being with and being connected to people who are of the same [...]

Following the Leader

“Why do you choose to follow Toby?” a friend of mine was asked recently. This friend shared this with me along with some other retarded things that were mentioned to him by this gentlemen.
What a stupid question. Everyone who knows me knows why someone would follow me…I mean, come on, wouldn’t you?
Actually, when [...]

The reason

The reason why I blog is the same reason why I am not blogging about some things in my life:
HONESTY
I have loved to blog and be honest about my life, etc, but now, when I probably need to be blogging about what’s going on in my life, I can’t, because I am afraid to be [...]

Manning Man-crush

I have a friend who now has a man-crush on Manning. She’s a chick, so that’s okay. But, it does mark the return of the Manning band-wagon that will certainly be circling with his (finally!) Colt’s playing in this year’s Super Bowl (did I mention that Prince is the half-time concert - SWEET!…no [...]

If I was living in GR

I believe I would have to be linking up with Mars Hill. Check out their new site here.

A long overdue explination…

I have been wanting to write on this subject for a long time now, but I no longer have the opportunities that I once did. (I don’t have internet, and I don’t have a computer - a post that will be posted about soon, believe me). So, I’m setting here at the local college thinking [...]

I have been wanting to Blog SO bad!

Seriously. I have had a lot of things I have wanted to write about. I really want to write about what is going on in my life right now, but I’m not at liberty to, yet. I also want to write about why I think I’m pretty much done with Christianity. [...]

What Dan said

“Yeah, Tob, I don’t know why you joined that Baptist church. I couldn’t figure out why I leader of men would want to become a servant to a church/religion.”

Lack of Fulfillment: things I expressed to a friend

Last night I was talking to an old friend and I was telling them that although I believed I was “called” into the ministry (then) I never felt fulfilled in the ministry. The ministry did a lot to stroke my ego, and at the same time humble me immensely. However, I never felt [...]

Let it snow, let it snow!

It’s snowing out. Finally! I have been waiting for this for awhile now! I want to go sledding with my kids! I don’t live in Northern Michigan for nothing. I love all the seasons! I love the warm, green summers. I love the cold, white winters. I [...]

Slowin down

My bloggin will be slowing down for the time being. I might start posting at the same rate as Watchman and Gary here soon… I wont have internet access as regularly as I have had here in the past, so that will hinder it, and, the majority of what I want to post [...]
