Moving Beyond Church Services

Dr. Darryl Dash has a great column on his weblog that was written for Christian Week.He quotes Dallas Willard, “We must flatly say that one of the greatest contemporary barriers to meaningful spiritual formation in Christlikeness is overconfidence in the spiritual efficacy of ‘regular church services,’ of whatever kind they may be. Though they are [...]

Cell Phone

After shopping around for a cell phone the last week or so, I decided on a Sidekick II… the only problem is that FIDO/Rogers doesn’t sell them anymore. I did find out that if I can find an unlocked Sidekick II, they will support it. I checked around on eBay and they had some online [...]

Goodbye Dodgertown

An amazing tribute to Dodgertown on ESPN.  You should take a look at it for it’s design as much as for its history and love for baseball. More on Wikipedia Technorati Tags : Dodgertown, history, baseball, Los+Angeles+Dodgers

Photo Friday: Growth

Not sure what this is but it was some growth that was found on my front lawn.  It also makes a good submission for Photo Friday. Technorati Tags : Photo+Friday

Contextless Links

We love the CFL around here and we wish Mark Cohon the best, working with the CFL owners makes Bettman’s job easy.  Those idiots would fire Pete Rozelle and Paul Tagliabue.  They are that crazy. Prime Time Sports podcast.  Probably the best call in radio sports show in Canada The bigger the house, the worse [...]

Cue Tumbleweed

This site has been a bit of a ghost town as of late for a couple of reasons. Some longer writing projects. Almost done. My nerves have started to hurt all over again. I can’t sleep, it hurts to walk, and kind of sapps your will to keep a weblog that really has no reason [...]

When two world’s collide

I am writing an article on the future of the church for the Free Methodist Church in Canada’s magazine.  For me, the first 90% of any article or longer writing piece is easy.  The last 10% of the writing is horribly hard.  So last night I decided to watch some television while I edited and [...]

Art

Hmmm, a one pound burger.  It really is a piece of art.  Other fun Flickr stuff here. Technorati Tags : Fuddruckers, hamburger

Bugatti Veyron

I am not a car nut by any means but I always said that I would love to own a Porche 944, until today when I fell in love with the Bugatti Veyron, which has a top speed of 253 mph/407 kph although at that speed, it’s mileage is 2.1 mpg. The baseprice is a [...]

The politicizing of Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer

If I was an American, I would be leaning towards supporting John Edwards for President for a couple of reasons which I have blogged about in the past, even if we share different views on some policies. Like a lot of people, I was shocked and saddened by the news that Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer has [...]

New phone

It’s that time again. My contract with SaskTel is up and it doesn’t make that big of difference if I stay with them or go to Roger’s but I am curious if any of you have any suggestions for a phone. A cameraphone would be nice but I am wondering if a Razor is worth [...]

Harambee’s Mission

I was surfing the websites of some friends tonight and was checking out Harambee’s website. If there was ever a reason to exists, their about page sums it up. In 1982, the neighborhood surrounding Harambee Center had the highest daytime crime rate in Southern California. The corner of Howard and Navarro, where we are located, [...]

Things it takes most of us 50 years to learn

A wonderful list that all of us should print out and tattoo on our forearms for quick reference.

May or may not contain food that is good for you

Your local plate of Chinese food…. The typical Chinese restaurant menu is a sea of nutritional no-nos, a consumer group has found. A plate of General Tso’s chicken, for example, is loaded with about 40 percent more sodium and more than half the calories an average adult needs for an entire day. The battered, fried [...]
