Just a Little Thumb Drive

So after staying up till 8:00am this morning and seeing Darryl off to see his girlfriend and Jon off to work, I decided to get a few hours of sleep in before I had to…

Had A Bad Day Again

One of the things that I love about having a website and a blog is the fact that it allows me to be transparent. I can be real on here and express how I’m actually…

My Faith vs Everyone Else

Since I’ve been at York I’ve been on a mission. I’m no longer studying just my faith and everything that comes along with it, now I’m studying other people’s faith and studying my faith like…

Lured by Grace

I’m beginning to notice this trend within and around the church scene where we seem to attempt to bring people in to our church by luring them by grace. We tell them that it doesn’t…

Chris Rock: The Preacher

Tonight I was planning on going to bed a bit earlier than usual, so around 2am, but I got sidetracked by a Chris Rock special on the Comedy Network. For some reason I couldn’t pull…

September is Over

My roomate Nathan Shurr is funny. He says “September is over, someone should go wake up Green Day.” That’s humour at its finest.

NEED

Yesterday I was walking toward the pick-up spot to where we were meeting for our ball hockey game. The hockey-game where I almost got my eye poked out and just have a few bloody cuts…

I’m A Little Man

I’m beginning to become more aware of one of my flaws. It’s making me feel more uncomfortable the more it’s unveiled. It all started in Halifax. We were sitting around a pub, everyone was sampling…

Unknown

Walking through the hallways of York makes you feel small. A school of over 40, 000 people is a new country compared to what I have ever been used to. I’m used to schools where…

Gospels and Jesus

A lot of people have been asking me what books I’m reading this school year, expecting to hear something about the emergent church, church planting or maybe some kind of postmodern answer like ‘there is…

Fix it.

It’s 2:55am and I told myself I would be laying in bed by 12:00, 12:30 at the latest. I layed on my blankets around 12:50, so I wasn’t too far off my mark. It’s way…

New School = New Faith?

Today was my first day at York University. I must say that after only sitting through two introductory classes I know that I’m in for what seems to be a lot different of an experience….

Wake up at Church

I’ve enjoyed the reaction I get from people here in Toronto when I inform them that I’m not going to a church on a Sunday morning. One person said ‘that’s not too good of an…

Church: A Beautiful/Pointless Habit

Growing up with Christian parents you go to church. Fortunately and unfortunately I was blessed and cursed with this habit engrained into my weekly schedule. To wake up on a Sunday morning without going to…

Bottom of the CN Tower

Yesterday I went for a stroll downtown Toronto on my way to Hamilton and I was trying to aim myself toward Union Station. The easiest way to do this of course is by looking for…

My Own Torah

1. You shall tithe 10% of your net income 2. You shall go to a church service every Sunday 3. There shall be preaching from ‘the word’ every Sunday 4. You shall dress up when…

Church: An Idol

Darryl brought this point up last night and it struck me interesting and worthy enough to be posted. Since Darryl doesn’t have his own blog I’ll just get the ideas across. If you think Darryl…
