You need to live a life of greater impact
You need to rest more
You need to get more done with less
You need to pray more
You need to be more focused
You need to enjoy life more
You need to love more
You need to be healthier
You need to spend more time with those you love
You need to spend more time with those lacking love
You need to reflect more
You need to live a life of balance
You need to live life on the edge
You need to simply be
You need to get up off of that seat
Just a few of the voices in my head. How about you?
One surefire way of living a life of torment – trying to please everyone… including the conflicting voices echoing in your own skull.

After reading “The Back of the Napkin” I’ve been doing more brainstorming and message preparation on my whiteboard. Above was last sunday’s talk on “Wounded Healer”, decipher that…
… the gist centered around Our woundedness, Christ the Wounded Healer, and our calling to be Wounded Healers in the world as well.
Just testing out flickr’s blogging feature… and I thought this was a brilliant photo.
It’s amazing how often we find Jesus engaging people over a meal throughout the gospels. Who are you having your next meal with?
up next: some thoughts I’ve been mulling over on whether seminary was worth it all.
I’ve got a few ‘projects’ in the works that I can use some help with…
If you, or someone you know, can help with any of the following contact me.
- I’ve got two web startup ideas that I don’t see being done that would help advance the kingdom – I’m looking for interested individuals with web programming skills.
- I’m hoping to throw a party towards the end of summer… a little Solar Crash Bash… all proceeds going to a water-related cause. If anyone knows of good venues in Toronto or better yet has hook-ups for good deals please let me know.
- I’m also looking for artists of all kinds. I’ve got musicians to magicians lined up… but the more the merrier. Do you, or someone you know, have some latent talent you’d love to share with the world?
- General networking. right at this moment in my life, I’ve got some time for it. For those of you who know me, or follow along on the blog, is there someone you know that you think I should meet, in person or virtually? These days I’m really interested in new expressions of church, community development, the city of Toronto, simpler living and spirituality, the future of the church and planet earth… but really any good conversation will do for me these days. Pop me a message.

My ‘wants’ often take away from the ‘needs’ of others on the planet?
