Will you just be ok…..
Ever since I was a little kid, I can recall memories where the most important thing in life to me was that those around me were “ok”. When my family would get in fights or my parents would start to disagree, as if it were yesterday, I can still recall the […]

How does change take place? What brings transformation? Change is inevitable. We are always changing. However, it is the great leaps that are more than something human.

My words couldn’t express my state any better than the lyrics below….

Transformation
The last couple of weeks I have been giving a lot of thought, reflecting over the last year. I think it is mainly because I am thinking about a lot of my friends graduating this year and what it was like for me when I walked those same steps last year.

God is good. That is the most humble posture we can take in our walk with the Lord. To say that God is good is to acknowledge all that He has done for us in our lives and the great mercy he has shown us. God is good. Since we have been […]
Canada and London admin on 10 Jan 2006
Ah London, well just like we could have all imagined, I probably wouldnt get along that well with this city. When you have to pay $2 to use a restroom or $20 to visit the primary Anglican Cathedral, it just doesnt rub me the right way. My mom and I were able to […]
