Thoughts for a Sunday
Looking for something from the archives that would fit my mood today, I can across this one from April 2015. I’ve spent most of my weekend reading and writing about ethics in political life, or perhaps the lack of it. This was a reminder that there are still principled people in public life. Canadian politician James […]
Life Is Like That Sometimes
It isn’t that they didn’t have GPS back in those days (which is where the recalculating joke comes from if you haven’t used one). Nor is it that difficult to get from point A to point B navigating by sun and stars, even with a million people. It wasn’t a geographical challenge that kept the […]
Jesus Revolution – The Music
Watching the film Jesus Revolution, I was struck by some things about the place and time that hadn’t hit me before. I remember seeing news reports and photos of the mass baptisms, but pictures don’t convey the power of the event the way a video does. The sense of joy and celebration came through on the big […]
Jesus Revolution – The Book
As the opening credits rolled, I remembered I had read the book and posted my thoughts on it here, back in November 2018. The movie Jesus Revolution hit theatres this past weekend, and I’ll give my review tomorrow. (If you can’t wait for the details, go see it today. It’s a good film). I thought […]
Names From Our Past
Time for a Sunday flashback – this time from eight years ago. One of the things I enjoy about vacation is just wandering around the community I visit. No set agenda, no plans to see any particular sight or building; just soak in the sights and sounds of the city. When doing that I occasionally […]
UnBuckled
Sunday being a day of rest, let’s take a trip back to this space in February 2015. On Sundays back then I tried to feature churches from my travels. I still have several churches I haven’t talked about – maybe I should return to that habit. Anything free when you are traveling is a good […]
Thoughts At 2 a.m.
No, I wasn’t awake at 2. It’s a song title. Written by Julie Miller and recorded with her husband Buddy a few years back. I had the album, Breakdown on 20th Avenue South, playing in the background Tuesday morning as I was working. I chose it as ambient music, something soft that wouldn’t distract me […]
That’s A Wrap
The driver took a detour to get to our destination. Apparently there were road closures. It was December 26 and I wasn’t thinking about Christmas, but it wasn’t going to be Christmas in Egypt until January 7, as most Christians there follow the Julian calendar. Most church holy days happen a couple of weeks after […]
A Time For Waiting
Today is December first, the beginning of the last month of 2022. Advent season started last Sunday. Despite the liturgical calendar, and that my family has already put up the Christmas tree, it doesn’t feel like Advent to me until we hit December It is a strange time of year. We humans aren’t good at […]
So Many Questions
Mixed feelings best describes my reaction to Lifemark, which hits theatres today. (In Canada It can be seen in select Cineplex & Landmark Theatres. In the US it will be shown on about 1,400 screens, though in Canada you might have to look to find it.), I suspect that might be because of the difference […]
