Nothing better than a church and business mix. This is a sign that a downtown friend took for me on his phone. This is a new local church plant. Awesome. While I won’t claim to…

I was able to make it to the morning block of films for the Bluewater Film Festival.  Ugly Lights was shown in this block along with a few other great films.  Here is an article…

I’m doing a message on hell tomorrow, and it’s just very difficult to come to any sort of conclusion on this topic.  I’ll post my message next week, but in the meantime, here are some…

Rachel and I bought an ebike at the beginning of last summer.  It was her idea to get it, but it basically ended up being mine because I used it as our second vehicle the…

This guy is awesome. Sort of reminds me of the experiments I read about that Shaine Claiborne did. I’ve always wondered how to successfully get entire groups of people thinking outside the box and challenge…

I thought this dream was over. Apparently not. Ugly Lights (you know that movie I made with a few downtown folk almost two years ago) has got accepted into the Blue Water Film Festival in…

Richard Rohr was on CBC’s Tapestry yesturday. It was an excellent interview, and he really got me thinking. This whole thing on non-dual thinking really resonated with me. It is sort of along the same…

My wife, Rachel, is doing her Masters of Nursing and Nurse Practitioner at the University of Western. She got really excited about an article she was ready so I picked it up and read it,…

I grew up collecting hockey and baseball cards. I had thousands upon thousands of them. A bunch of them are still in my basement, rotting away, worthless to me. I’ve collected other things in my…

Have you noticed how language has become increasingly more awkward when we are speaking about salvation? Even just today I was talking with a well respected leader in the Free Methodist church and he seemed…

I’ve been noticing a trend with blogging lately that has lead me to either really enjoy a blog or come close to unsubscribing to their blog all together.  I realize I am guilty of many…

Was everyone aware that Zondervan is owned by Harper Collins?  Harper Collins is owned by Rupert Murdoch who also conveniently owns Fox, Fox News, Myspace.com, Wall St Journal, The Sun, Down Jones, News Corp.  That…

I’m sitting on my computer right now at theStory’s space and outside the window there is about 1000 people listening to a band, there is a drinking area, art exhibitions everywhere and First Friday is…

Someone posted this article by John Piper to a recent post of mine on homosexuality. At first reading, I thought all the references to the tornado was a joke or at least a clever analogy….

The Moon the Balloon protest happened this afternoon that I talked about here. I don’t think they got near the amount of people they were hoping for showing up, and only about half the people…

I’m loving how offensive Jesus was to the religious authorities of his day. He comes from Nazareth, his disciples are nobodies, he talks to a Samaritan and makes one a hero of his story, he…

I love parables. Spending 8 months in Jesus’ parables only made me love them more. I thought I would try my hand in my own. Taking a few queues from the Good Samaritan. A young…

Sarnia is a unique town because we are a border town to Port Huron, Michigan. So many Sarnians jump onto the Bluewater Bridges and head over for cheap shopping, concerts and to pick up EBay…

One of the conversations I get into quite a lot with those that are about ten years and older than myself is blogging and why I do it. Most don’t comprehend it and think that’s…
