Cultivate Gathering

Cultivate Gathering is coming to a Hamilton near you on May 16, 2009. Cultivate is for anyone who is interested in missional church, and is happening because of numerous conversations between different people, organizations, networks and churches in Canada that long to see new forms of church thrive and relational networking happen. We are tired [...]

Missional Tribe Launched

In amidst the activity that has been my life lately, several friends have done an excellent job and launched Missional Tribe, which is a hybrid social networking site and portal for those engaged in the discussion and praxis of the missional church around the world.  The implementation of the technology that powers the site is [...]

My apologies to Roger Goodall

I am finding it really, really hard to get excited to watch the Superbowl tomorrow.  At work I told the guys that if they wanted to watch the game, I would provide some chips, dips, and beverages for it.  They told me they appreciated the sentiment but no thanks.  Someone asked if I was working, [...]

Contextless Links

Obama’s as ruthless as the rest of them How to spend $1.2 million redecorating your office. 2009 will be a year of panic I don’t know if you have ever heard of a water crock but Wendy has informed me that we need one.

One size fits all?

A couple weeks (crap, maybe it was months ago, I have been kinda busy…) I got a copy of One size fits all and it is a DVD about innovative Christian gatherings across across Canada. It was done by Joe Manafo and Nathan Colquhoun from Sarnia and they did a good job in this this [...]

Housing prices are still heading downward The Future Evangelical Collapse by the Internet Monk Steven Johnson on about how to write a book Slate asks if Ted Haggard can ever be a spiritual leader again

Bosh

As I unwind tonight, I am watching the Raptors play the New Jersey Nets.  I am just going to come out and say this after watching many Toronto Raptors this season.  I think Chris Bosh is over rated. Yes he is athletic and gets to the free throw line a lot but Raptor fans somehow [...]

Risk

Last night a co-worker of mine was hospitalized after being brutally assaulted by a client at the shelter.  I can’t get into the details but the staff member is going to be okay.   He was very lucky and I get sick thinking about what could have happened.  It’s weird but despite absorbing a couple of [...]

#3 Urban Ministry blog of 2008

This is kind of cool, I was the #3 urban ministry blog of 2008 by the folks over at Urban Ministry.org.  While it is nice for the ego, it is based on some flawed ranking criteria but it’s nice to be mentioned on the same list as people I respect.

Testing…

Since being before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I have had nerve pain that can be excruciatingly painful.  Occasionally it lasts four hours on end and is almost debilitating.  Luckily it happens in the evenings so it doesn’t influence work that much and is much worse when I am tired. Over the years I have [...]

Twitter

The results are in.  Both Wendy and Daniel Miller hate my Twitter updates on the website.  I’ll move them to a sidebar.

I’m spending tomorrow at RUH having tests done to find out why my left side of my body is no longer working correctly # It’s cheaper to fly from Winnipeg to London than it is to fly from Saskatoon to Toronto. #

No one told me Saskatchewan had cold winters before I moved here. # I am so incredibly tired of this -40 freezing weather. I think I froze a bone today when I grabbed something metal. #

New Design

I took some time yesterday to keep tweaking the site and the design to make it a little more personal. The header images are all my photos and over the next couple of weeks I will be adding some more to the rotation.  I haven’t decided to keep them rotating or change them up monthly [...]

But will I respect you in the morning?

Scott is writing about the culture of evangelical clergy and how it differs from almost every other job in the world.  This comment was as good as the post. guilt was more what I felt going on those "junkets". I remember skipping a breakfast buffet that was being paid by the church. we had 10min [...]
