That was, without question, the longest break I’ve taken from writing here since I started this blog in the good old days.
Lots has happened:
Celebrated 19 years with the world’s most incredible woman.
My daughter turned into a teen ager.
My son hit double digits.
Closed in on 18 months out of pastoring a local congregation.
I’ve really been wrestling [...]

Interesting day today. Drove through the hinterlands of Nova Scotia to attend a planning meeting for MYC09 in Truro, NS. Not my favourite drive, and (sorry Truro-ites) not my favourite community. Great meeting though. Got lots of things accomplished.
MYC09 is shaping up to be a blast! After a hiatus, we’re returning to the model of [...]

Full day today. Team meeting this afternoon, youth tonight.
We had to cancel youth last week because of yet another snow storm. Eight storms so far, but the snow isn’t as high as last year. And thankfully, we’re not in the UK or southern USA where everything shuts down because of snow. But it was just [...]

Tonight we’re heading to see Jeremy Camp in concert! If you’re not from the Maritimes, you might not realize that we don’t get a lot of Christian artists coming through here. Living on the Atlantic coast does have some wonderful advantages (good lobster, 5 o’clock comes quicker than it does in Ottawa, friendly people, and [...]

What do you do when you find your thinking gets stale?
I’m starting to flesh-out some ideas about ministry that have been bouncing around in my head for awhile. Some people have unknowingly been messing with my mind, and causing me to think as I’ve read their stuff.

I’m not content with the [...]

Took a little blogging vacation. Now I’m feeling fresh and frisky.
It’s been an excellent season here at GT. We’ve jumped into our Spring-Summer focus, ‘Growing Together’, and it’s exciting to see people plug into what God is doing here in Moncton.
Too many church-goers think it’s all about Sunday. That the big deal of following Jesus [...]

Ah, this is awesome!!!
I love having Mondays to spend with Heather. We spend time together, running errands, doing all the little things that need to be done around the house that I never had the time in the past to do, just being together…
In case you haven’t realized, Heather is my best friend. She’s awesome. [...]

Da, da–da, da-da, da…Monday, Monday…
Quick mind-dump:
The snow is melting! The snow is melting! When we arrived in Moncton, we were overwhelmed with the amount of snow on the ground (coming from Saint John which had really nothing on the ground…). And, yes I know Moncton got off easy compared with some of the northern NB [...]

Shhhhh. I just found out that someone is coming to Glad Tidings before school is out. I like this person. I think you will too. I’d tell you now, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy.
As soon as I get the green light, I’ll post the news here.
