The Miscreation of Stig

Norwegian graffiti

As I walk through Bergen (the city of wetness) I see a lot of graffiti. Most of it is just ugly or does not fit, but sometimes I find some really great ones. A piece that has been made with care, planning and time.

I hate to admit this...

...Bergen is not all that bad!

Dirty deeds... I mean dishes.

I had a major revelation the other day. It just blew my mind when I found out. It was as if I had had the wrong glasses all my life and suddenly got the right ones. The world slid into focus and I was reborn.

Beauty is in the eye of the commercial business

This is a disturbing image of how we look at beauty, or rather, what we are made to believe is beauty.

Nice!

I don’t know whats going on right now, but I hope it’s not contagious…
(Yeah, yeah… I know it’s been a long time since my last post. Just shut up, stop whining and just read the thing, will you? Cheezes…)

I'm never eating junk food again...

Time: 07:30 AM
I’m walking towards the train to Bergen dragging my suitcase on wheels behind me. I’ve just been to a groceries store and bought some food supplies for the trip so I won‘t have to go hungry on the long trip. As I walk along I glance over at the Burger King lying slightly to the left of my path and decide to have a burger for breakfast.

The getting older part

It is upon me again...
That time of the year when the leaf on the trees start to change their colors from green to red, yellow and brown as a reminder that time actually passes in the rest of the world even though you yourself can't feel it. It is a reminder of the ever impending end when we all will shrivel up like brown leaf and fall to the ground. The period is somewhat like a spear where that first day is the pointy end stabbing me in the chest and the following days like a wooden shaft with lots of splinters that slowly skewers me like some wild animal. The shaft actually lasts for months and months and when I finally get used to the big hole in my soul there comes another spear even bigger than the last one.
So what day am i talking about? October 7th.
And why is that day so bad?
It is my birthday...

A walk to remember

Today I did something totally unexcpected, even for me. I stepped out of the front door of the church I work in unknowing of what I was about to do. As I reached the first busstop the bus had left one minute earlier, so i decided to walk to the next one. When I arrived there, the next bus had passed me as well, so I thought: "Oh well, the weather is nice. I might as well walk some more." This continued to happen as I walked and I continued to think: "I'll walk to the next stop..."
Result: I walked 14 kilometers!!! It took me two hours and while I walked I had plenty of time to think.

Revelations!!!

This weekend I was attending a series of meetings and seminars of different sorts. One of the seminars were held by two girls from Chichester and something called 24-7 prayer. The girls, called Carla and Charlotte, told us of their experiences with prayer. When Carla told us about a trip to Ibiza/Ibitha where she prayed for a guys knee and another ones toes and God healed them, there was a kind of explosion inside my head (I almost checked my ears for smoke...) This is it! This is what I want to do! This is what I need to do! I have to start a prayer group in my church! So what I am doing now, is planning a 48 hour prayer session in the basement of the church. I started thinking seriously about it on Sunday and already I have several volunteers. This is great and really exiting. Thank you yet again MacCarla and Good Charlotte.

btw... As we are in on the subject revelations I just want to add that I now know,
by experience, why you don't wear shoes in bed. It itches...

God is good!

Come on... Give me some sugar...

This really frightens me... The amount of sugar we eat actually has something to do with how resistant we are to deceases. Halfway down this page you can see what effects sugar can have on your health, both physical and mental (!).

"You are sweet like candy." "Are you telling me I make you depressed?"
