Who is this Man?: Easter Sunday (This message was written to pick up where the Good Friday Message left off. I started the service with the section and then after worship came back to the point Who Do You Say I am?) It’s a brand new day. The darkness of Friday has given away to…
Who is this Man? Good Friday
Who is this Man: Good Friday Who is this man? As the crowd roared, the question was asked by many; who is he? What has he done? What will he do? To some it was important to others it was secondary, after all the religious leaders had spoken and now this man stood before them. …
You are praying for what?
I was talking to a friend the other day and they told me that they were praying that they would win the Rav 4 that Tim Horton’s is giving away. I would suspect that they aren’t the only one who is praying that their Rim will be the lucky one. The percentage of Canadians praying…
The Doctor is In. Who is Speaking into Your Life?
The Doctor is In I don’t know if Lucy is anyone’s favorite character in the Peanut’s universe. But the reality is that we all either know a Lucy or are a Lucy and if you are a Lucy there is really no way to see that as complimentary. Lucy is not a nice person, she…
First Day of Spring and Other Fallacies
Spring is here, spring is here, spring is here. I figure maybe if I use the word spring enough that maybe spring will come and warmer weather will spring forth, flowers will spring up and springs will thaw out. I just looked outside and it seems to be working. In anticipation of Old Man winter…

Where are you in the Strip?
How many of you grew up with “Peanuts”? Not the ground nuts that people are allergic to but Charlie Brown and his crew? From as far back as I can remember Charlie Brown has been a part of my life, when I was a kid a part of our Christmas traditions was to watch A…
