Last night was part of an interesting event at Coffee Culture. Global TV’s been shooting a documentary on the relevance of Christianity to Canadian millenials.
Last night, Nathan Gerber of Divine Force Company invited leaders and influencers in his circle to dialog and network as they captured our conversations on film. It was thrilling to say the least to be in the company of so many movers and shakers and visionaries.
Besides JD Heffern, who kindly gave me a lift and just started blogging here, I had a chance to connect with Wendy of newdirection.ca, Nathan Colquhoun and Joe Manafo of ‘the story‘, and John Franklin of imago, to name a few.
How’s that for dropping names? For the rest of you I met that night, I didn’t get your contacts, drop me a note and let’s connect further.
What was even more exciting is the sense that as we continue to bump heads, we’re on the brink of something beautiful happening across the country.
What would you be doing, if you could do anything in the world?
Would the choices liberate you, or overwhelm you?
Would it reveal the stuff you’re made of, or all the stuff you’re missing?
Feeling a bit better and finally catching up on my dose of obama news.
Barack capped his Middle-East / Europe tour with a speech to over 200 thousand people this week in Berlin.
Supposedly people from all over the continent had travelled in to see him in person. Some of Obama’s opposition say that this proves how ‘foreign’ he is, and not suitable for leading America. I think his global appeal says much more about the state of the world than Obama himself.
People are longing for a different America to show up. I know I am.
Interestingly, an Israeli paper published a private prayer that Obama wrote and stuffed in the western wall.
Lord,
Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins and help me guard against pride and despair.
Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just.
And make me an instrument of your will.
imagine that.
Thanks to those of you who’ve continued to follow along. It’s been a slow blogging month as my head’s been elsewhere. I’ve been horrendously sick the past five days. Google tells me my brain is hemorraging.
There’s so much to be excited about in my life right now, but I’m a bit too nauseous to enjoy it all right now.
May you all feel a whole lot better than I do today. peace.
Yesterday we had live painting during our gathering. I love what my friend Phil created on the spot.
Been on a bit of a hiatus recently… hiding out with my in-laws in Ottawa the past two weeks.
Had a great conversation with Sam Radford yesterday via Skype.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I need to leverage technology more on a personal level. Quite often when friends move out of town, I find we often lose touch so easily. There’s no reason to really when most of us have high speed connections.
I’ve always tried to integrate technology on an organizational level, but there’s no reason I shouldn’t be leveraging it on a personal level as well. I think the future will be highly local and highly virtual.
