A couple weeks ago, PrairieFusion set up a Word Press test blog for me to test out Word Press on. I played around with it and was really impressed with several features. Categories :: You can organize your posts by categories. The ability to post your del.icio.us posts to your weblog. That would automate my [...]
Lakeland Church
I am tired…
A full day spent… Working on stuff for the next Worship Freehouse. Reading a lot of solutions and rebuttals from the left and the right about poverty and the best way to tackle it. It isn’t a simple topic we are addressing at this or the next two Worship Freehouse’s. Working on stuff for Lakeland [...]
Silence
One of my favorite things about my first year at Lakeview is that I had a back office away from everyone. Wendy and I had a stiflingly hot apartment without air conditioning and it would get so hot in their, things would spoil in the refridgerator. Wendy would work many evenings at Safeway (back before [...]
Random Sunday Thoughts
Some thoughts from Lakeland Church today I was attacked for jumping off the Saskatchewan Roughriders bandwagon. Yes I know they are 5-6 now but they have only beaten two teams. The lowly Winnipeg Bluebombers (3 times) and the even lowlier Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2 times). I was also criticized for not having a rain gauge. That [...]
As I was saying
Last nights walk reinforced somethings that I have been saying for a long time, most churches are designed for people that work 9-5, Monday to Friday and more and more people are not working those traditional shifts. I was recently talking to an old co-worker who again talked about wanting to find a church that [...]
Fire Danny Barrett
I think we all know why. Updated: # 1 overheard question at church today was, “Did you see the baby?” (new baby at church today). #2 was, “Did you see that horrible game last night?” My answer was no. They have satelite at church (I meant that the people in Spiritwood generally have Bell Expresss [...]
Reverend Milburn Hindmarsh
On Friday morning, Aug. 12, long time Free Methodist pastor, Rev. Milburn Hindmarsh passed from this life into eternity at the age of 96 after a battle with cancer. This was a faithful servant of God whom has no doubt already heard those well deserved words “Well done, faithful servant”. Funeral arrangements for Rev. Hindmarsh [...]
Emergent.ca
I have been wading through my e-mail about Emergent.ca this morning. Some positive, some negative, some fair, some unfair and some just toxic. As the last couple of weeks have proved, the word Emergent generates some strong and sadly polarizing responses. Many have expressed some frustration at Emergent/US and the feelings of it being a [...]
Riderville
Mark was taken to the Saskatchewan Roughriders store today. I was looking for a jersey or a shirt as I am heading down to Regina and Taylor field to watch the Riders hopefully beat the Ottawa Renegades. I have always watched the Riders play in Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and have never seen them win [...]
This weekend
After being incredibly sick this last week, something is going wrong with Jordon’s eyes. We don’t know what it is but it is causing periods of blindness. The pain in his hands and feet has gotten worse. According to Jordon, it feels like Circa 1850 has been painted on his hand and feet and you [...]
