A snapshot of our world. This is the pulitzer prize winning photo by Kevin Carter of a vulture waiting for a young girl to die in southern Sudan. Carter killed himself soon after.
What does it mean for us to be the church in light of this? What does it mean to worship [...]

coffee, culture, and changing the world…

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 [...]

Obama in Berlin…
July 26, 2008
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 [...]
Obama world…
June 13, 2008
On the front page of the Huffington Post this morning…
According to the article just about every country surveyed people around the world largely prefer Barack Obama as President. Yet the rare instance he’s tied with John McCain is in the United States.
Why is that?
Are people around the world just less informed? infatuated with [...]

Give it up Hillary…
June 4, 2008
A great photo of the Obamas watching Clinton’s speech.
What must be going through their minds?
I can’t believe she’s not conceding nor suspending her campaign.
Is she making her case for VP?
Is she putting an asterisk on the nomination to set her up for 2012?
Is she trying to transition her supporters to Obama in some odd way?
I [...]
Pagan Christianity…
May 30, 2008
I finished Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and George Barna about a month ago.
I can see why people say it’s a controversial book, though I really wasn’t all that shocked by the content at all. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Below are some quotes (I swiped from Tony Morgan’s [...]

Where do you sit?
May 29, 2008
Do you have a particular spot you like to sit?
I rarely went to class in university because without fail, I would fall asleep in every single one of them. I’d wake up to some strange pen trail of gibberish and wonder what on earth it was all for.
I tried sitting at the front in hopes [...]

Victoria Day…
May 19, 2008
All across Canada today, people are sleeping in and lighting up their BBQ’s for dinner with friends and family.
Supposedly only 22% of people believe there is any historical significance to this day at all.
It’s odd that in a country as multiculturally diverse and independent as Canada, we would have a day dedicated to the birth [...]
