If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, come to Kindersley!
I looked through the viewfinder of my camera yesterday. I saw a beautiful body of water (someone suggested I call this blog today, “A fine ‘dam’ town!”). We walked around the dam with an old friend of my fathers, saw a skateboarder, a fisher, a family. Where else would you want to be!
And then of course, across the expanse of water we could just see . . .
Just finished a six hour Friday/Saturday board retreat.
We were neither board (bored) nor retreating. I had great fun with the three other men on our church board. They laughed, cried, prayed, planned and walked away with excitement.
We took a great vision statement that was put together in the early 90’s. In affirming it’s relevance for today, we hashed it around (I’ve got to watch the words I use, one of the board members was a “hippie” in his days and knows what hash is!), turned it upside down (another member works with Kindersley Transport – got to watch which way up you put things in your trucks), and painted a new word picture (the last board member does maintenance for a condo in town!).
So, here is what we are about:
God Celebration, Ministry Preparation, People Support and Community Care.
We recognize that for the next while that will include an emphasis on Diversity in Unity, Outreach and having an Equipping Culture.
All of this will need to be wrapped in constant, candid and consistent communication.
In God’s time and for His glory!

Living with “Jesus in Me” over top of it all.
I’m finding this “Jesus in Me” adventure is just that – an adventure! Now that I’ve turned 52, I feel like I’m back being 5 once again. Learning anew what it means to accept Jesus into my life. Day by day and hour by hour.
“I’m an atheist.”
The newest fashionable philosophic stance! But I’m not sure what people mean by it!
Used to be we had Madalyn O’Hair around to aggressively point out that atheism was not Christianity. Then we had the university crowd who wanted freedom from teenage ideas of God. But now?
Now we have the new atheists. Of course, there are the agnostics. Meaning they don’t know whether their is a God or not. They take a neutral stance. But, the new atheists would not like the term agnostic.
I hear some of the most spiritual people claim they are atheists. Spiritual in that they believe in visions, yoga, coincidences, big bang theories and almost anything! They seem to want to deny “God”, but accept anything that looks like God – as long as it is not called “God.”
And so the new atheist says there isn’t a God. And by saying it, dismisses God. Then they look at phenomenon around them and create new linguistic categories that sound a lot like the old word “God.”
So, help me out. When is an atheist an atheist?
