IMPORTANT UPDATE
As of April 2024, my blog has moved over to Substack where I’m co-hosting A Tender Space (together with my business partner at Centre for Holding Space). You can find my new writing plus podcast episodes there, or sign up below to get them in your inbox.
Here’s some of my earlier writing…
In case you’re wondering about the person I got to interview…
One of my favourite writers recently has been Brian McLaren. He's a refreshing voice in a world in which we've heard too many people talking about a version of Christianity that gets too caught up in a couple of narrow issues and turns a blind eye to some of the...
Out here on the prairies, hangin’ with the grasshoppers…
Whoever said the prairies are boring, just wasn't looking closely enough. (Bet ya don't get to ride a combine on your business trips!)
Gone again
Two business trips in the same month that the family is readjusting to the schedule of school/soccer/music lessons? Yeah, um, NOT a good idea. Sigh.
Just wondering
If you have a licence plate that says "savior" is it just your clever way of saying "Jesus is my co-pilot" or do you have an over-inflated view of your place in the world? (Yes, I actually saw one on my bike ride to work this morning.)

I am back home after 5 days spent in Southern Ontario. It was a good trip - a decent mix of exploring the countryside in a lovely little rental car, meeting some of our long-time donors, staying in a gorgeous bed and breakfast, attending a thought-provoking...
What I was reading at the waterfall
You’ve all heard me on my soap-boxes before. I talk a good game when it comes to social justice – at least when it comes to human trafficking of young girls in India, or reaching out in friendship instead of charity to my friend Paulina in Kenya. Those things are all...
15 years
Some days you wake up and you realize.You’ve gotten lost in the mire of too many petty arguments.Too many “why didn’t you wipe the counter?”Too much “when are you EVER going to fix the couch?”Too often focusing on the reasons why he annoys you.Too few moments when you...
Things I’m wondering today
What if I didn’t own a mirror? What if none of us did? What if, each day, I presented myself to you (and you to me) assuming we are each complete and beautiful as we are and that we will accept each other that way?What version of the Bible do you have to read to...
My 15 minutes (or is it 15 seconds?)
Having my picture on the front page of the Christian Week won't exactly make me a household name, but it's kinda fun none-the-less. (Although my friend said that the picture makes me look like I'm now a bonafide "Missionary". Ha!) In the "don't believe everything you...
Things just got a whole lot noisier in our house
