  1. Thanks I've done that as well, but I think this will be good for my friend, as he was REALLY upset at missing the funeral.
  2. Recently a friend of mine lost a childhood friend very suddenly and tragically. As we live in Central Ontario, and his friend lived in Boston, he was unfortunately unable to attend the funeral. As such, my friend feels that he hasn't had the proper time or outlet for his grief. He has accepted my offer to perform a Memorial Service in his friend's honour. Now, I have a fairly good idea of how I will format the service, I was seeking some help in finding some appropriate prayers. The deceased is Irish and the ceremony will be of a Christian nature. Could anyone help me out with some Irish prayers or verses? Is there any place online that would be a good place to look? Thanks. Rev. Mat Storring
  3. Ram Jam - Black Betty Spin Doctors - Two Princes And the band that defined the term "one hit wonder," The Wonders - That Thing You Do Maybe even Blind Melon ... someone help me out here, the video was the girl in the Bumble-Bee suit.
  4. The Pagan Christ by Tom Harpur. I found it to be an excellent starting point, and it comes with an extensive list of suggested reading.
  5. Finished The Eagle, and thus Whyte's masterpiece epic. Can't seem to get into Delores Claiborne, so I've moved on to Everything's Eventual; 14 Dark Tales, also by King. So far so good ... there's a story about Roland Deschain in it, so at least I get a bit of a Dark Tower fix!
  6. Classic Rock, Punk Rock and Ska are what you'll find in my CD player most often, but occasionaly there's some Metal and Hip Hop. When it really comes down to it, I just love ROCK. Any kind that grinds and pounds. You know, sometimes a band is really good, and sometimes they ROCK. Music is a HUGE part of my life, whether playing it, listening to it, or writing it, and ROCK is my god of Music!! ROCK N' ROLL!!!!!!!!!
  7. Currently reading The Eagle by Jack Whyte, who, IMHO, has written the best historical Arthur. I'm also just starting to read Delores Claiborne by Stephen King ... just because he's the man, and I have yet to read a novel by him I haven't been blown away by. Oh, and I'm also trying to get through Isaiah. Rev. Mat Storring Peace.
  8. Don't worry Ree, I'm a D&Der too ... Drizzt rocks!! Even if no one dies, no one writes a sword-and-spell fight scene like Salvatore! On the same note, Ed Greenwood's Elminster books, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance AND Darksword books, and the hidden gems known as the Darksun novels (The Prism Pentad by Troy Denning, and The Tribe of One by an author whose name eludes me). Props to The Sword of Truth, but, even if Terry Goodkind can be a little bit more engaging, Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time need to be recognised undeniably as Goodkind's main inspiration. Also, anything by Guy Gavriel Kay, especially the Fionavar Tapestry. The Dark Tower by Stephen King (possibly the greatest work of fiction that I have ever read) The Tales of Alvin Maker by Orson Scott Card Any of the Arthurian legends 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell The Song of Albion by Stephen R. Lawhead, who also wrote The Dragon King trilogy. The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit, of course That's it off the top of my head, because I haven't read much fantasy lately, but with a little time I'm sure I could come up with pages. Great topic!!!
  9. For the longest time I considered myself a "confused christian" because I believe in the basic tenets of the belief system, but I was unable to find justification or validation for many of my beliefs that are far from "orthodox." Then I read "The Pagan Christ" by Tom Harpur, and I felt almost complete. I know, I shouldn't NEED to have anyone justify what I feel or believe, but hey, we're all a little insecure at times. This book is, in my mind, a brilliant work for the serious thinker, and gives references and a list of suggested readings. I recommend it to anyone who loves the teachings of Christ, but is tired of too much dogma. Peace. Rev. Mat Storring
