Silent Bliss

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Today is Sunday.

November 16th.

I have not consistently blogged in well over a month and it feels like my life is flying by and I am simply a prop in it, waiting patiently for the slow part to kick in.

I notice the TSX doing the same. Time to have some fun. (more…)

Visioneering 1.1

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

“Visioneering. A new word. An old concept. A familiar process. Where definitions fall short, a story often achieves clarity.”

Andy Stanley - VisioneeringI’m reading Visioneering by Andy Stanley. I’ve been reading it for a while now but finally decided to do a blog-analysis of the book by chapter. I’ve noticed that I get a lot more out of reading scripture or books if I blog afterwards and become spiritually charged as a result. I’ve come to the realization that blogging is in fact one of my spiritual disciplines that helps me in my walk with God.

So here goes! (more…)
