The Parable of the Scattered Seeds

by Matthew E. Parrott November 8, 2010

One day, I was either reading a book, spending time thinking, or doing something else (I really don’t remember to be honest) when the parable of the sower and the seeds came to mind, here is the parable in Matthew 13:3-9: ‘And He (Jesus) told them many things in parables, saying: A sower went out to [...]

Watching movies…

by Matthew E. Parrott June 29, 2009

A couple of nights ago I watched Bruce Almighty for room night with a bunch of guys from work. It had been a while since the last time I watched it, and I missed a bunch of the movie, but there were some interesting quotes in it. The only one I can remember right now [...]

God as my friend…

by Matthew E. Parrott June 21, 2009

Tonight I was on coverage for room night, usually on nights like tonight I would get off around 11. Tonight I stayed back a little while longer because we had been having Internet issues… This is where the story starts. As I left the house and I was walking to my car I started to [...]

Home is where the heart is…

by Matthew E. Parrott June 16, 2009

On my way home from a basketball game tonight I began to think about my time in Missouri, and one of the thoughts I was having is about how we have adapted and that where we are, live, travel, shop, etc is becoming normal, it's becoming home. This made me start to ponder about what [...]

The right way vs. the wrong way…

Sad day…kinda, not really…

by Matthew E. Parrott June 8, 2009

So I finished copying and pasting all of my blog posts from my Xanga site…and then I deleted it, never to be retrieved again.  It's gone, forever.  Oh well, it's not like I was using it, it was just sitting there.  I got all the important posts out and I will move on from there. [...]

I am back!!!

by Matthew E. Parrott June 6, 2009

Once upon a time there was a renound philosopher, who was only renound to himself…and he had a blog.  At the begriming of social networks there arose a site called Xanga.com.  Now this site was all the rage at the time, and so he moved his blog to that social network.  Now that other newer [...]
