I'm starting to wonder if God had the whole thing planned.
Yesterday I posted my blog article about "courtesy falls", which mostly had been written over the weekend. It got quite a lot of traffic, mostly from lurkers as few actually commented on it in my social networks.
Late Sunday afternoon however, Shaun Wissmann, who I work closely with in teaching the sessions in our Oikos ministry school on a daily basis called me to tell me he'd been very sick and didn't foresee being able to teach at [Continue reading...] Archives For
I'm starting to wonder if God had the whole thing planned.
Yesterday I posted my blog article about "courtesy falls", which mostly had been written over the weekend. It got quite a lot of traffic, mostly from lurkers as few actually commented on it in my social networks.
Late Sunday afternoon however, Shaun Wissmann, who I work closely with in teaching the sessions in our Oikos ministry school on a daily basis called me to tell me he'd been very sick and didn't foresee being able to teach at [Continue reading...] 
This week J. Lee Grady knocked the ball out of the park with his weekly instalment of "Fire In My Bones", his column over at Charisma Magazine. It was entitled 9 Bad Charismatic Habits We Need to Break. I shared this on social media to a small reaction by others who got a kick out of it.
I agreed whole heartedly with every point he made in the article, with some getting a more resounding 'amen' out of me than others. I think the thread between each thing that charismatics needed to stop [Continue reading...]
I read this article in the news with shame, which is giving some people an excuse to scoff at faith healing.
According to an article on ABC News, “Herbert and Catherine Schaible belong to a fundamentalist Christian church that believes in faith healing. They lost their 8-month-old son, Brandon, last week after he suffered from diarrhea and breathing problems for at least a week, and stopped eating. Four years ago, another son died from bacterial pneumonia.”

You may have noticed the frequency with which I've been posting to my blog in the last month and a half has gone down dramatically. That's due to three reasons; my upcoming wedding on May 11th, our ministry school that has just started full time and in which I'm teaching.
The third reason is because I've been trying to keep up a rhythm of putting a new Kindle book online once per month. The result is my latest quick read, which is quite different in scope than the previous two on faith and healing.

Last week in our Oikos ministry school, I was tasked with giving a session on intimacy with God. Fellow missionary and teammate Shaun Wissmann has basically come up with the entire curriculum for our discipleship school, with the oversight of our fearless leader Mark Burgess. Then, they tell me what I'll teach. :)
So far, this has worked wonderfully.
Since I felt like this is a subject I could approach from the head easily and wanted to make sure I was living it, I tried evaluating my own spiritual [Continue reading...]
Exactly one month from yesterday, I'll be taking my vows to marry the hottest Peruvian this country has ever produced. OK, that's not entirely true. Our religious ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 11th exactly one month from yesterday. Our civil ceremony, the only one the governments of Peru and Canada will actually care about, will be sometime in the days prior.
Which leads to the lack of updates for this blog in a little while. I've busier than a one-legged man at a butt kicking [Continue reading...]
