Tweet First of all, I must apologize for not writing sooner than this.  I have returned to the second semester of school to work towards my undergraduate degree in business.  This is something I have wanted to do for a very long time, but never placed it very high on my list of priorities.  I believed I could make enough money without higher...

Tweet As I sit in the after hours of Christmas this year, I can’t help but think that the whole point of this deal is not about what we get but that we give. Hold on for a second, I know it’s been said a thousand plus times and sounds totally cliché, but hear me out here. Christmas has its roots in the story of Jesus, the One we call Christ. ...

Tweet Perhaps it’s just me as I contemplate the choking consumer debt that threatens me while I pursue a better future through higher education that promises a pretty price tag too. Maybe it’s the dark fog as I look out onto a mid-night street without the typical glimmer of a frosty December’s snow fall. Then it could be that my dreams of...

Tweet On Thursday, October 6th, 2011, I was privileged to be in attendance at World Vision Canada as Dr Jayakumar Christian spoke about his work in India. He started with World Vision India in 1978 and has now been the Director there since 2004. He is the author of 18 books, including “God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power & the Kingdom...

Tweet Ducks? People keep talking about getting all their ducks in a row but I have yet to see these people even have ducks, organized or otherwise! Wouldn’t it be much easier to say I’ve got to get my house in order? I’ve got to straighten out my business? What I’m really getting at is this, we’re 9 months into 2011....

Tweet Well, we’re coming to the close of summer time and gearing up for fall! Summer’s known for taking it easy from the year-round stresses of work or school. Truth be told though, often we are far busier in the summer than at any other season throughout the year. There’s so much to see, so much to do, we can be outside, so...

Tweet Sometimes it seems like you’re heading for your destination, the scenery is beautiful, the way is clear across this bridge to the other side, and BAM! All of a sudden there’s a turn of events that throws you off the beaten path. One moment, you’re clear sailing on open waters. Next moment, you don’t even seem to be...

Tweet In just under 2 weeks, I’ll be going to El Salvador with a team from my church where I am – in Scarborough, Ontario. Sunday, we got to participate in an activity I have never done before. A small Spanish congregation in Toronto welcomed us to their Sunday service to sing a few songs and to pick up some supplies for the children...

Tweet Writing is the “key” to writing. Novel concept. I’ve had no sense of what to write about lately. Perhaps it’s because I’ve not been allowing any ideas to sit long enough in contemplation before releasing them. Twitter is great for that, getting your ideas out there. Of course, I think about what I say. It just...

Tweet “Much of marriage is a struggle.” I don’t resonate with Hollywood’s glamour, peaches, and ice cream on relationships. When I hear people say that it’s hard work, something inside can sense the depth of that truth. It’s courageous. We will face troubles. I don’t feel like we should have stars in...
