February 8, 2007Leaders must not only take responsibility of their own lives, but that of others around them. As leaders progress in their journey they see things as they really are. They become highly tuned to their own strengths and limitations. However against the backdrop of a dying world, what they see most, is [...]

January 5, 2007I’m not much of a TV watcher, especially after Alias ended. But I’ve found a new favorite show that I finally just caught up with online.
Heroes. It’s about ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities. Sounds like a call to all of humanity.
One of my favorite characters is Hiro Nakamura. Besides the ethnic [...]

September 15, 2006So things didn’t work out this week.
Last week I was reading a book, and it was talking about how “success in God’s eyes is defined by faithfulness”.
I shared this with my wife, and half-jokingly said, only ‘losers’ say this.
The truth is, I do take some solace in this. God looks to the heart and [...]

September 10, 2006A while back, I was corresponding with Jack Popjes (With Wycliffe Canada, who spent a bulk of his life as a missionary in Brazil), and discussing my future. He asked me a fantastic question that I ask myself every year.
Where would you honestly put yourself right now on a scale from 1 to 10. [...]

Ever feel like you had to be someone else in order to accomplish [...]
June 21, 2006 Quotes from the upcoming Superman Returns movie.
Jor-El to Kal-El (Superman’s father to his son):
“Even though you’ve been raised as a human being you’re not one of them. They can be a great people, Kal-El. They wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason [...]
May 19, 2006I was running outside the other day and just soaking up the beauty and creation around me (See my recent post on our ‘God soaked world‘ on the bookclub vox). I came across this incredibly stunning bird and quickly took this picture! Actually, not really, but I sure wish I did. This [...]

February 18, 2006I’ve always loved the message of freedom and running wild found in the Scriptures, but there’s something also to be said about the trials and disciplines that lead to that life-transforming freedom that we sometimes neglect to mention. A couple quotes from the book:
The transformation of our character is more revolution than reformation. [...]
