Ordinary Radicals and Cultivate
This past weekend Rachel and I took off to go see the screening of Ordinary Radicals (trailer below) in Toronto at the Bloor Cinema. I was pleasantly impressed by the film. Great story-telling. Beautiful perspective….
Innovation as Offensive Failure
Last weekend at Cultivate I sat on a panel about Innovation. So naturally I let my mind wander for a little while on what innovation is and more importantly am I innovative? I could have…
Parable of the Mustard Seed (The One About the Yellow Condiment)
Here is my message from last Sunday. Mark 4:30-32 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a…

Joe found this site so we are going to Evernote a try. It collects and remembers everything for you and its best feature is probably the image to text recognition, so it will along everything…
Los Angeles Churches (Kairos, Mosaic and Angelus Temple)
When you are in Los Angeles, you are not short for one moment options for churches to attend or be part of. This week I attended three different gatherings. Spent Thursday night at Angelus Temple…
Pictures from LA
Here are some pictures that go along with my trip from the previous posts. The Dream Center (this maybe gives you a picture of half or so of it) Angelus Temple The warm-up rappers The…
Day 2 & 3 – Dream Center
It’s been an interesting trip so far to the Dream Center. I find myself going through ups and downs about how I feel about almost every issue. It’s beautiful to see so many people rallied…
Day 1 – Dream Center
Yesterday I flew to LA to come and spend a week at the Dream Center. I came with my friend Rob. Basically the Dream Center is a place where a church bought out an old…
New theStory Website
We have a new website for theStory. This one is a lot more functional and user friendly. The website will now manage our library that we are trying to start that will host everyone’s books…
Robert Farrar Capon on Universalism
Best quote I’ve read to date on universalism, and beautifully sums up what I have been trying to describe for the last for years and usually get someone mad at me. “I am and I…
Louis CK “Everything’s amazing, nobody’s happy”

Intro to the Parables
Here is the rough transcript of the message I gave on Sunday. It’s pretty quote heavy, but it ended up working out pretty good because of the amount of people we had, the discussion was…
Misfits come to Sarnia
I showed the poster on our wall here, and finally the Misfits came and have left. These guys are old, they formed in 1977. The place was FILLED with people under 20. I know nothing…
Sign Dedication Service
This is the church right across the street from me. They just installed a new sign and are having a sign dedication service. I wonder though if they are allowed to use the sign before…
Voting in Canada
I’ve never really been a fan of voting, and so I fully understand if you are not. I incline a lot stronger to not voting than I do to voting. However, this year I’ve found…

I’ve always enjoyed Naomi Klein and what she writes. She was recently on Colbert Report here and thought this was a great article on the current financial crisis. ———————– I’m just starting to read around…
Why I Don’t Like Democracy
I spent a good chunk of time watching the Canadian debate between the political leaders. This post may be completely mis-informed and may only seem to highlight my ignorance to politics, especially in my own…

Do you get way too many telemarketers calling your house? I don’t, but I know both mine and Rachel’s parents get at least a couple of a day. The Canadian government actually stepped up on…
Feeling Pregnant
I’m feeling pregnant this week. So many things are happening, joy and sorrow combined and I just had my mind kept racing back to Paul talking about how all of creation groans and we groan…
