Apparently, Gainer has been told that he is not welcome at McMahon Stadium in Calgary for Sunday’s semi-final battle between the Stamps and Riders. No, I’m not making this up. Here is one place you can read it for yourself.
Free the Rodent! If that stupid touchdown horse in Calgary gets a single [...]

A Few Points from…
“The Shaping of Things to Come”
by Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
These two guys have been all over the world, in all denominations, doing consulting, educating, researching, and more. The diversity of churches to which they have been exposed gave their thoughts extra weight in my mind.

Football Post #2: Da Bears
Posted in Following, Life, Sports on October 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I admit it.
I’m a bandwagon jumper when it comes to the Chicago Bears.
But who can blame me if you watch them play?! They play football like their lives depend upon it.
You do almost anything with THAT kind of intensity, and people will take notice. Not coincidentally, the Bears are a healthy 7-0 this season.
Part of [...]
Football Post #1: CFL Chat

I haven’t been for a while now, but I occasionally dropped by Taylor Field to catch bits of the Riders’ practices in months gone by. One wet, windy day last month found them practicing right inside the stadium instead of out on the practice field. I climbed a section up into the stands [...]

From the Inside Out (by United)

Never-ending,Your glory goes beyond all fame.

The art of losing myself in bringing You [...]
I’m supposed to be working, but my mind is wandering. And while it is, I’m here to write down something from yesterday.
I grabbed my Bible and journal, and headed for an empty room. Before reading, I tried to get quiet (outside and in). It worked more than usual. The time was [...]
Office

No, I’m not speaking of the one at the church building; I now have one at home. Yes, that’s right… if you can consider an unpainted room with a beater of a computer on an old desk surrounded by boxes an office. But it is OUR office, just down the hallway from OUR room, on [...]

Yes, that’s Thanksgiving weekend I’m talking about. For any American readers, yes, this IS the time for Thanksgiving.
