In visiting all these communities, we did repeatedly see some patterns. Since the communities are all growing like gangbusters, we have definitely seen the truth of how new city planning leaves little room for churches. When people say that the church is being marginalized, it truly is. This was especially striking in Lethbridge but was [...]
We finished visiting all the communities we wanted to Wednesday afternoon. The weather out here has been cold – below normal for the month of March. Hence, we didn’t spend as much time “on the ground” as we originally planned. However, thanks to many hands both likely and unlikely, I believe we saw what we [...]
Finished with a look at High River and Okotoks yesterday. Shockingly, we saw more appeal in the suburbs of Calgary than with Lethbridge which surprised even me! Something I didn’t mention before about the Hat. Didn’t see any Thai food there, but on the way out of town there was a little village called Bow [...]
We had a great drive from Red Deer to Medicine Hat. We had to wait for a snow storm to pass and took it easy on the roads until we were out of the winter weather and then everything was clear once we got through it. Staying with the Wilks family was fantastic as they [...]

If you’re reading this, we are on the road. We plan to post video blogs of our trip as we travel, they will probably go up in the evenings, after we have a chance to upload them. Here is a great page to see the BC road conditions for our drive there and back. Live [...]
(This was posted first to Facebook, but I thought I would put it here too.) Driving to work, my mind was rolling over a few things but this one had to be written down. What is this Christianity thing for anyway? Jesus taught love, forgiveness, peace, humility. There is nobody in the world that doubts [...]
Heh. In Canada, the above title is actually relatively meaningless. The only felonies and misdemeanours we see are on American television. Our justice system uses the terms “summary offence” for a misdemeanour, and “indictable offence” for felony. But I digress. We finally received the packet of information from the Spruce Grove Chamber of Commerce yesterday. [...]
