I’m Back
I haven’t been doing much blogging over the summer – due to vacation, some projects at the church and the general pace of summer life in the city.
Classes start again after Labour Day and it looks to be an interesting term in “Marketing Management.” There should be lots to write about with the intersection of [...]
The True Origin of the Internet
In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called ‘Amazon Dot Com.’ [...]

The church here at West Island has been praying and fasting each meal since the 1st of January and we are expecting great things!
I’m planning to [...]
Great Resource - Soundview Executive Summaries
As a pastor I came to the conclusion a long time ago that to stay fresh and to stay current I need to read. The challenge is to balance my reading time between theological/inspirational/church growth books and secular management/leadership type books.
A great resource that I came across while I was on a St. Louis - [...]
The Legitimacy Gap
I was at a nice restaurant recently - one I had really looked forward to visiting. The problem? The food was lackluster, the ambiance mediocre and my expectations were high. The combination wasn’t good.
I experienced the legitimacy gap - the difference between what they were providing and what my expectations were. It may have been [...]
