Expectation always ends up ending bad. The person with the expectations ends up being disappointed and the other ends up feeling inferior. Leaders with expectation end up getting burnt out and burning bridges with everyone…
My favourite people in the world are in a band and it’s good. They are playing this Friday Night at the Trinity. You should go.
I am an amateur in terms of beer. But this past year has been one of a great awakening. I’ve discovered new and exciting flavours that I didn’t know existed. I was always skeptical of…
I am not a good reader. I don’t jump into books very well, I’m not into fiction and I have way too much energy to sit down and make myself read. That said, I love…
Brought to you by our friends at Landover Baptist, thanks for the link Chris Lewis and Bekki Garrison.
So we ran our Eighth Letter conference a few months ago in Toronto. It was good times. After the conference a bunch of us went to a pub in Toronto and hung out with Peter…
As the Internet grew and my time on it grew as well I always found it a great way to meet people, build relationships with people that I couldn’t normally be around and constantly be…
Steph and I tried to hit record on our cameras whenever we could. Obviously we weren’t using any stabilizing gear, or even a tripod, but I’m still glad we did it. Video helps show what…
Some friends and I went to Iceland last week. It was more of a spur of the moment decision after watching Sigur Ros’ documentary called Heima, which is the most remarkable cinematography I’ve seen in…
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the RSA Animate films; they are brilliant. They somehow manage to take highly intellectual lectures and turn them into enjoyable 10 minute sessions of learning. By drawing and…
Joe’s documentary, One Size Fits All? is online now in it’s entirety. The DVD’s are all sold out and so we thought it would be generous to offer it to everyone. Here it all is…
Since I’ve been married, I have tried to explain to Rachel why I am so brilliant. I say, “listen, I am an idiot, and you are brilliant, but you married me, so that makes you…
This is my contribution to the Eighth Letter conference we are running coming up in October. Thanks to Rachel for organizing a Syncroblog of all the letters. To The Church in North America It’s odd…
Of all the commandments of Jesus, the one that I see as most revolutionary is the one to love your enemies. Not only is the idea of loving enemies a hard one, it’s completely foreign…
It keeps us from turning commands found there into isolated rules of principles that are assumed to have special status because they are in the Bible. Rather is proposes that Christians (and we hope others)…
I’m reading this book right now called Mistakes were Made but not by Me and it is changing the way I interact with people and view them from a distance. We can be quick to…
I love Lost. As most of you know I was a bit disappointed that it was all over and especially the way the writers ended everything, but nevertheless, it was still great writing and television….
Remember that book that I wrote a small chapter in? Aaron Nee made this great video promoting it. Pretty sweet.
Since being to university I have been able to hold two completely contradictory thoughts in my head at the same time and not go insane. To many, that sentence probably sounds insane. Here is what…
Just finished writing this post over on Linking Life. I’m having an extremely frustrating experience with Acer right now where I am 6 months in, shipped my computer to them four times and I am…
