My New Study Routine
Living in Japan was the best way to learn Japanese. The pressure of language school, with its daily homework and at-least-weekly tests; the daily need and opportunity to use what I was learning in class -- these things helped me stay motivated and focused on the task....
Weekly Re-Cap
I travel a lot. It can be pretty draining sometimes. This past weekend was Easter, though, and I had no churches booked and got to "visit" my own. It's been nice to be off the road for a couple weeks. I'm feeling refreshed and ready to get back to it this weekend....
April Prayer Letter
Sorry for the lack of regular blogging the past few days. If you haven't seen it yet, though, you should scroll down to the previous post and check out the Waidaiko/Gospel fusion video, because it's awesome. I may have some more Japan-related video content later this...
Weekly Re-Cap
I'm writing from the comfy chair at Starbucks this week. You're surprised, aren't you? Since my last re-cap was so late, and this one's on time, I don't have much to talk about this week. I've spent the week getting caught up on paperwork, email, that sort of thing....
A Slightly Late (or really early?) Weekly Re-Cap
The past week or so has been far from normal. As I said in my previous re-cap (well over a week ago now), I had a friend visiting me all the way from Japan. I had some ministry to do on the weekend, but during the week took some time off to spend with Kenji and show...
Weekly Re-Cap
Not too much to report this week. This past Sunday I had a great time re-connecting with a couple of churches not too far from here, in Sussex and Brown's Flat. The church in Sussex did an interview with me, rather than the usual format, which was a nice change of...
Weekly Re-Cap
I almost forgot to do this. This week... 1. I had a busy Sunday of ministry in Digby and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. It was a good time of re-connecting and team building. 2. I spent a couple of days in Halifax visiting some of my favorite people. Really fun and...
March 2009 Prayer Letter
Hi everyone, I'm writing to you today from the home of some close friends in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm on the way home from a full and fulfilling weekend in Digby and Yarmouth, where I got to share my testimony and vision 3 times at 2 churches. Home ministries are...
Weekly Re-Cap
I don't have very much to talk about this week. Over 3 weeks ago, I caught a cold. Last week I thought I was getting over it, but it seemed to start making a comeback by the weekend. So I went to the doctor, and it turns out I have a sinus infection. So this week I've...
Weekly Re-Cap
I'm at Starbucks right now, where I just ran into an old friend. One thing I'm enjoying about being back in Canada is randomly running into old friends and acquaintances whenever I'm out in public. My hometown is just small enough that it happens pretty much every...
