How do you live without embracing your Hypocrisy?

I was at a Pastor's cluster meeting today and it was awesome. The trust level is developing and it was a great time of sharing both joys and heart aches (yes... Pastors have lots of heart aches...)

It made me think and feel and analyze lots of things and... in my life of hypocrisy I'm so glad that I belong to a religious system that doesn't rely on me getting it right in all ways... I love living with the grey areas and the paradox. Of course, embracing paradox might not be as catchy a title for a blog though...

But really... a blog that was all about embracing holistic truth would be really hard to maintain... constantly going back and rewording and deleting posts to get things just right... I don't know how much fun that would be.

So... Sin boldly... that is... do your best and then trust that the one who creates all things didn't expect you to get it right anyway... and trust that you are loved... and this love transforms all things.

It's easier to read that blog...

There are those that blog and those that should read blogs... sometimes as I watch the months go between posts I think that I should be one who reads the blogs... but I'm too idealistic with what I might do with this blog.

I'm thinking of a series of "Phrases that need to be retired". I was inspired by this other blog that is doing the same thing and... I think that it will help me become a better person by getting rid of certain words and phrases....

will it happen?

Who knows....

Too much money?

Why is it that a small mechanic in a small city in China can produce an electric car while the auto makers keep dragging their feet? I would guess that it has to do with money because the demand seems to be around... the technology is around... and it's just not difficult to do.

I guess I might be a conspiracy theorist...

100th Post

Well.... can't put it off any longer. I've gotta put up a 100th post.

So... as a 100th post, I decided to throw up some pictures from one year ago. Cycling to the seminary, enjoying the fall weather in my former life as a student in Saskatoon.

Enjoy :)

Trying something new...

So... there is a horrible whine in the background from the macbook fan but.... I thought I would try the Vlogging thing a little.

Edson's gone crazy!

Well... that is what I told this weekend would be. It's the annual slo-pitch tourney and I think if you went out to the many baseball diamonds today or this weekend it would in fact be insane... but the craziness of the town itself is a little overblown... it's still Edson... the main highways are busy with through traffic... but there is still no wait for anything.

Which is nice.

I'm starting to get into the pace of the this place and slowly figure out why so many people say "Go rural!" for ministry. Great people, great town, laid back country life.

Goodbye TelusHell

It's more expensive for phone and I'm tired of fighting with my xbox and the telus network.

Hello Shaw...
