Why I Don’t Like Democracy

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…
More Inspiring Prophetic Art
Phil Nellis has for a while now inspired me with his art pieces. So much so that we did a little trade off a while back that I got some art of his for putting…
Random Story Involving Invisible Children and Sarnia Downtown
For some reason, Sarnia Downtown is where I’ve been meeting people of complete randomness. A while back I met one of the editors of Geez Magazine right across the street at Coffee Culture. Turns out…

This is kind of an advanced version of my ATIC idea. It’s pretty cool. It’s called Swaptree and its like Ebay without money. ———————– Fundraiser idea. ———————– Rachel found this article on living small. Small…
If It Isn’t Penetration, Then It Isn’t Worth a Kiss
I grew up with a lot of older friends. I went to Cornerstone when I was 14 with a bunch of my friends that were almost 20. All of them loved Pedro the Lion, and…
ICS Worldview Conference
I’ll be participating in the afternoon panel discussion at the Worldview Conference, Another Brick in the Wall by Institute of Christian Studies on Saturday, Sept 27, 2008. We’ll see how I hold up there. We’ll…
Life and Link Update
I just typed out all this, and then it asked me to relogin and I lost it all. So this will probably be shorter cause I’m more upset now. Now that I’m back from Africa…
Pictures From Kruger Park
After a slow to non-existing internet connection, to my flash not coming off my camera, to my laptop busting and having to take it apart to get my files off of it, I finally have…
Third World Thoughts Being Content
I’m starting to realize how far reaching globalization is reaching. When you are in the mountains of Swaziland and there is a cell phone tower in the middle of avocado trees, you start to think…

Third World Thoughts – Cleaning Dishes
The story in the bible about Jesus washing feet is about servant hood. However it is kinda of outdated. No one washes each other’s feet here or in Canada. When we tell the story we…
Swaziland – Day 16-18
I’m writing this a week later, so I will probably skip over a lot of things without thinking. The rest of the week in Swaziland was a slower pace but we got a lot accomplished….
Swaziland – Day 14 – 15
The last few days have been a lot slower pace. Jayme and Heather left back for South Africa. Jayme and her husband Lynn were our contacts to get here and Heather works for Global and…
Third World Thoughts – Awkwardness
One of the major things that threw me when I got here, to Africa, was not even being remotely prepared for the awkward situations I would be in. I’m a fan of awkward usually. The…
Swaziland – Day 11-13
On Wednesday we went to a garden that is being started up by Nomsa and her volunteers. The garden is probably 75 meters by 50 meters and we helped put a fence around it. They…
