There was a post on the Resonate List this morning that really stuck out to me by Jamie Arpin-Ricci. When I visit my Sikh friends, I will not expose the bottom of my feet to them because, in their culture, it is hugely inappropriate. Nothing wrong with the bottom of my feet, nor does the […]
There is something about this kind of design that I just love and am really drawn to. I found a sweet site full of this type of design, free fonts and all kinds of ideas. Click here. 25 Free Grunge Fonts via Jordon Cooper Follow the sites that that site sends you too for lots
I’m officially moved into the Pernell and Margie’s house. I’m really looking forward to this summer. They are a great family, with awesome kids and they are just so hospitable. I’ve already been invited to play at least seventy games of soccer with their kids and got to spend a little time chatting last night.
Here is a job I found posted on a website of a revivalist (still not even sure what the heck that is) that is coming to Sarnia. I’m glad that Jesus didn’t have those kind of expectations when choosing his disciples. I’m glad I’m just going into church planting, I don’t think I’m cut out
There is a clothing company out there called Naive Clothing. I havea few of their shirts, I got the at Cornerstone last year, and I was so impressed by the designs on them, it helped that they were selling them for 5 bucks. Other shirts of that quality cost up to 25 bucks. I like
Lately I’ve started to wonder more and more about money, what its good for and what it isn’t good for. How dangerous it can be and how helpful it can be. How tempting it can be and how freeing it can be. For instance, I’m now I believe at the point in my life that

They say that ‘postmoderns’ don’t like authority. I think that I’m a prime example of that ideal. I felt this way before I even knew what the word postmodernity meant, or if it wasn’t even a real word. It’s kind of funny actually, I’m typing right now and postmodernity isn’t recognized as a word in
I am a happy person. I used to get between 100-300 spam comments/trackbacks on my website a day, and then at 3am last night I got absolutely sick of them and figured out how to implement a hack called Captcha into my blog which makes anyone leaving comments have to write down numbers they see
Inspired by a number of different events in my life I’ve been better trying to understand how I feel about groups, movements and institutions. By this I mean anything from what we call an ‘Emergent Church Movement‘ to an institution like York University to a group such as a church. Some of my experiences are

I’ll probably just Link to Joe’s blog for any updates on theStory because he seems to be beating me to the punch on everything. Besides he’s a fairly new blogger so he could use the links I’m sure. He just currently posted our logo decision process for theStory (church plant). We’d be interested in your
A few links I stumbled across. Rob linked to this interesting article about the Emergent Church Movement and the Evangelical church. Jordon linked to this article about denominations and if they can be saved. Which is a good introduction for something that I’ve been thinking about lately with institutions and movements and groups of people
Paul Martin, who I met at the Resonate Echo Event last week, and also got to be there for his paper on Examining Emergent, has posted his paper online here. There is lots of discussion going on with it, so I thought I would comment here and there and keep it posted on this site
Joe retells the second meeting for theStory and he saved me a whole lot of work, so I don’t have to type it out myself. Click here for the whole story. My exams are all done. So hopefully that means I can pick up the blogging pace. I also got a few website jobs lined
My friend Phil just e-mailed me this quote from Henri Nouwen. This is really something that has been on my heart a lot lately “More and more, the desire grows in me simply to walk around, greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who
There has been a lack of posts as I have been in Sarnia the last few days and for a few more. I’ve had a great weekend so far. Joe and I met with Pernell Goodyear from the Frwy and Jared Siebert from the Free Methodist Church regarding the church plant. Tonight is the second
I met Tim Challis on Monday at Paul Martin’s paper presentation. I have ran across his blog a few times, and have no added him to my read list, but there was one post that stood out to me that I would like to comment on. Please though, before reading this post, read his entire
Darryl Dash has a post here on a similiar subject that I posted below on ‘Knowing that I Know’. he was also at the Evolving Church Conference, the Resonate Echo Event and Paul Martin’s paper presentation. So I got to spend some time with him and he is a great guy and I’m looking forward
I responded to a letter written to the editor in the Sarnia Observer a week ago and it got published in today’s paper. Here is the original article Here is my response.
