Well it’s that time of year again. Joe and I are running the Sarnia Short Film Festival again. Get your films in before the deadline to be considered for the showings. We are expecting quite a lot of films to be submitted compared to last year so we are getting the word out now so
A friend of mine Chris is running Sarnia’s first ever Wakeboard competition and it will be professionals (invite only) and free admission on July 20th. It’s called Wake-Up Call. It should be awesome, and it’s about time someone did this in Sarnia, we are ripe for these kind of events. Below is the article in
A bunch of guys started up Sarnia Urban Sports downtown two weeks ago. I joined right off the get go because we were playing dodgeball. We played again last weekend during Artwalk and I was able to get some pictures. Here they are below. I think we got a fun summer ahead of us. Click
Grace is a tricky thing, mostly because it depends a lot on the person giving the grace as opposed to the one receiving it. So like we always do, we devise schemes and formulas about how it is given, and who it should be given to. Typically we only can muster up enough strength to
Because this was an extremely busy week, and next week is even busier, I took the time to that I didn’t have and wasted it on something that I didn’t really need to do. I started the new blog design that I’ve been hoping to get going for the last little while. I updated all
Dave is blogging now here, and his blog is called Awesome Internet Site. I usually enjoy what he has to offer to the world. ———————– Lately I’ve been into documentaries and fun films, here is a few that I have either watched or not watched but look interesting. Devil Plays Hardball, Carts of Darkness, War
Stuff has been on my mind lately. I’m amazed at how much happiness it can bring to someone. Watching my wife’s face as her bedroom gets decorated, watching my own face when I get a new camera, listening to girls talk about Ikea and guys talk about new cars, watching people at Wal Mart, watching
Tonight is the Ugly Lights Premiere. Should be an awesome night. If you are going to miss tonight, you can always get tickets for Thursday or Friday. Friday night, Driving on City Sidewalks (Darryl and Barry) are doing a set before the movie. It’s gonna be awesome. And if you’re really supportive you can buy
I grew up Pentecostal, and I was indoctrinated from an early age. Because of my upbringing with my parents though I was taught to not just do whatever someone told me to do, ask a lot of questions and always be learning. As many of you would know, this doesn’t go well in most Pentecostal
For those of you that run church, or organize services or plan events will be interested in this if you didn’t already know. Thinker Labs is where Joe, myself, Jeremy and a number of other individuals give away all our hardwork for free. Whether it be entire service layouts, graphic designs, ideas, or movies it’s

The ‘Lights’ come up; locally made film shown later in May Posted By TARA HAGAN A group of local 20-somethings are finally ready to unveil their first feature film. “Ugly Lights,” will premiere at the Imperial Theatre May 20.

The longer I have this blog the more I think I have less and less to say. So many books I’ve read lately, I walk away agreeing strongly with the words that they write but then I find myself discouraged from writing about the topics because well its already been said. If someone wants to
My blog is just taking a hit lately. I find myself thinking and struggling like never before but just not the time to get it all out there. I’m not shutting it down, and hopefully I can get more frequent on this soon, but for now here is some of the stuff I’m reading that
Today at theStory we talked about naming God. The thing that stole most of the discussion was “what dangers, if any, are there in misnaming God.” So this post will sort of be my answer to that questions and trying to flesh it out. First what I think is important to realize is that the
The movie called Ugly Lights that I’m working on with some friends is finished. You can see that Darryl and Joe (the two guys I planted theStory with) are actors in it. We sent it to the DVD printers this week and are now getting ready for our premiere. It is going to be May
This is the message that I spoke on Sunday. It was heavily discussion based once we jumped into comparing the Enuma Elish with Genesis, but here are most of the things that came up and what I had prepared. There are plenty of different names for God and we’ve gone through a few of them
One of the flags that new churches wave right now is that of tolerance. We love to tolerate other people’s beliefs and perspectives. We find value in everyone and where they are coming from. I wrote a few posts on my ideas of seeing everyone’s perspective as truth (read them before you assume.) There ends
I wrote a post back in August called a Sympathetic Look at Difference and I think this post is going to be similar but make a lot more sense of what is going on in my head lately. I can’t stop struggling with the idea of people’s perspective and experience and how much it defines
What is a Pastor? Pastors: Sunday Production Coordinators Pastors: Making Sure Our Programs Happen Pastors spend a lot of time coming up with programs and program ideas, getting people to run them and making sure the funding is in place for them. Most churches do some sort of discipleship program, Alpha, newcomers luncheons, summer picnics,
