I ordered the new 5th generation iPod. Black. 80 GB. Colour screen supporting videos and photos. As far as FedEx is concerned, it’s still in Shanghai at the moment. I only get it once I arrive in Canada on Dec 13. What’s super cool about this iPod is that I can keep photos (which I … [Read more…]
Our house was robbed of $8000 worth of stuff nearly nine months ago. The thief is still anonymous and likely still suffering guilt. The most painful feelings from this have subsided mostly, though everytime someone else we know get robbed, the wound reopens a bit. There has been an incredible miracle that followed the theft … [Read more…]

There is a dog, split in two, stretched across one lane. I answer the door in my pajamas at 7 A.M. to a man wanting to know why I needed to see his son. The bank teller still asks me how my film is coming. I eat 4 meals. My 2 o’clock appointment with Oscar … [Read more…]

Got this from Nate Knows Nada. 360 U.S. presidential speeches from 1776-2006 got put through a tag generator and so you can visually see how often words were used based on the size of the word. It’s remarkable to see the shift in focus between eras and presidents – notably words like: CONSTITUTION, HOSTILITY, INDIANS, … [Read more…]
Today, I was able to see with God’s eyes things that only He could see a hundred years ago. This is my child who will be born in April of next year. We drove into Cobán and had an ultrasound done. I filmed almost the entire appointment where we saw the baby wave his/her arms, … [Read more…]
Had to swing around the cemetery this afternoon to check out the Día de los Muertosfestivities. I dragged Amber, Blaise and Mariah along. This time, I wanted to talk to a couple people to find out what they believed about this whole thing. Two camps. One group of women told me that they figured the … [Read more…]
We’re so happy that Mariah is living in Tactic and working for Impact Ministries with us. Mariah was in my youth group when I pastored in St. Albert and she toured with me, Amber, Dean and Saison for a week in Guatemala 4 years ago after a mission trip. She is going to work with … [Read more…]
