The more time I spend on the MAC’s around me, the more I am glad I have a PC. The more MAC users I meet, the more I realize why they use MAC. This article is absolutely hilarious and truer than most using the rhetoric I love. ———————– In light of theStory’s progress through the […]
For those of you that don’t already know, or haven’t received any e-mails, or haven’t seen the posters or read any blogs. Epiphaneia is putting on The Evolving Church again this year on March 24th. We are especially excited this year because we think this lineup is dynamite. We got Shane Claiborne, Jim Wallis and
I was trying to withhold this post for quite a while now. I didn’t think it would ever get to the point. But we are here, and I’m happy we are. Last October, a few friends of mine from FRWY taught me this game. We played it one time and it was a lot of
Again, I’m loving CBC Radio 1. Here is an interview of someone critiquing the religious right and their strive for political power (scroll down and listen to part 3, its the first section). Here is a snippet from the intro. “Many people have decried the political power that has come with that growth, saying it
I love Resonate Echo events. The idea of them is awesome and the speakers that we have got to participate so far is even better. Here is the next one… Resonate and Allelon are pleased to present a free Resonate ECHO event with Dr. Alan Roxburgh in a Missional Leadership Conversation. (Location, time and more
A good friend of mine from Sarnia, especially over the past few months, has now began blogging: Dave Hoyt-Walterhouse. Amazing drummer, food conscientious, kind, gentle, understanding, humble Wal-Mart hater, vegetarian, soon to be photographer and challenging Settlers of Catan player are just a few of the qualities he has. I will admit that I am
The older I get and the more I remember my past I am starting to value perspective more and more. If I believe something passionately now I realize that in a few years it’ll probably be something else, if not a few months. If I see a situation unfolding now that I don’t like its
Global warming is a big issue right now. Some people I respect are worried about it and others think it is a joke. Here is an official report coming out about it from some of the world’s top scientist, they don’t seem to positive about it. And here is a CNN report on it (ht)
I hear and use the word ‘community’ a lot. I hear it everywhere I go and I use it probably almost every day. “We want to start a community not a Sunday service” I hear announced quite often. “We want to spend the first little while building community” we have said at theStory. We all
For the longest time I would get frustrated because it seemed like we always wanted to bring people to church. It was as if church was someone’s salvation, or we thought that only the people from the pulpit could somehow teach people about the way of Jesus. This was definitely something that was insinuated in
I’ve had some great opportunities this past year to spend all sorts of time with kids. I lived with Pernell and Margie for a summer where I got to spend it all with their three awesome kids, Samantha, Lucas and Jacob. The experiences, laughter and lessons I learned while being around them by themselves and
Blood on the Doorpost: From Egypt to the Gulf Coast – This was an awesome post done by Radical Torah. “Marking their homes with blood was thus be an act of proud defiance – the Israelites were, in a sense “wearing their oppression” openly to the outside world.” Here is an art display that did
I’ve stumbled across a pattern in my own life. I see it mostly because I see it in other people and it drives me crazy. Most of us are extremly judgmental people. The time I notice it the most is when we are in the midst of change. For instance, I grew up Pentecostal. I
A Great tool by Google called GAPMINDER, to be placed appropriately in the world, just play around with it for a few minutes.
