- Here is Tony Campolo on The Hour.
- In case you haven’t noticed, The Church of the Exiles’ website is sporting a new design that will be tweaked to death over the weekend. 8 days until the Freehouse returns which scares me to death. The one big addition content wise is a new weblog to archive and document what we are doing. We already have the photo pool on Flickr but this will allow us to add some of the text and other media resources as well. I’ll post a link when it is online but there will be no content online until next week.
- Wendy worked Good Friday, I work Saturday to Monday which continues our trend of building our marriage on mutual avoidance of each other. Mark and Wendy will head to Saskatoon Free Methodist Church on Sunday for worship while I will be here. If it is quiet enough in my office, I can listen in to the service at work which isn’t ideal but the alternative is to download clips of John Haggee off of YouTube.
- Still no decision on a car but Lee and I went looking on Saturday at some that I have been thinking about. At $1,400,000 the Bugatti Veyron is just a little more than I want to spend although a car that could go 400 miles an hour could be useful on Saskatchewan’s flat landscape.
- I am reading Eugene Peterson’s latest book, The Jesus Way which has been a great way to spend the last several days. I know he has written a lot of stuff the last couple of years but this may be one of the best things I have read in a very long time. I will be posting more over the next week or so.
- The Raptors win the division! That’s good news as I doubt now that the Calgary Flames will make the playoffs or if they do, escape the first round. Speaking of sports, sometime over the last couple of years, I have become fond of the Montreal Canadiens. I credit Bob Gainey and their incredible history. Of course this year it means that I could be doubly disappointed when Calgary and Montreal both lose out.
- I never watch American Idol but I have enjoyed the commentary by those who think that voting for Sanjaya is somehow damaging the greater society and music industry. I am sure when people are looking at the downfall of western civilization, that will pin it on Sanjaya and not global warming, an energy crisis, or a global depression.
- At work they changed and enhanced our retirement package. When I was filling out the paperwork, I had a choice of funds and of course ethical funds were listed. I have heard more than one person complain about the poor return their ethical funds returned which always makes me laugh as it testifies to the larger truth that most people like ethics, as long as it doesn’t cost them anything.
