If you were at The Table last week, you may recall that Sarah made an intriguing comment about the new Pope that almost sent me down an irreversible rabbit trail. Almost… Well, I did say that “some other time” we would pick that theme back up, and have decided that this is the week. I […]

I like being a Canadian. No, it’s stronger than that. I’m proud to be Canadian. (No, this is not a beer commercial!) I am pleased with much of what our culture stands for in the world. We are often thought of as an accepting and diverse country, embracing of many different people groups and beliefs. […]

Hello people of The Table. This week, life has sometimes felt to me as though it has too much “range”; too much breadth of experiences and feelings to be contained in one thing. There have been moments of effervescent hope and murky sorrow; of blazing love and dark grief. Sometimes that range of feelings seems […]

I don’t usually spend any significant time reading online blogs or their corresponding comments; it feels to me as though life is full to the brim with real people and there aren’t enough hours in the day to spend with other humans in non-virtual time and space. But this week I made an exception – […]

Jason Miles will be speaking this week so please plan to join us @ 10:30 with your mug in hand! … Tim opened up the conversation for us last week about lent. It was a beautiful conversation about the “more” behind lent – not letting it be just a giving up, an embrace of suffering, […]

This Sunday I would like to explore the connection between Lent, classical music, flashmobs and adoration. Yes, I am sober and of sound mind…and I really do think those things have something […]

As we take a look at Ephesians 1:15-23 and 1 John 4:16-18, we will ask ourselves where God is in our day to day grind. Together we’ll grapple with the passages and pray for […]

Hello Tablers! Fair warning – this is a bit of a longer blurb. I suggest you read it all, as there is important info near the end. Yes, I did that on purpose… This week it feels like the possibility of winter ending is no longer a fantasy, and somewhere deep inside of me things […]

I had a conversation this week with the local autobody repairman. Because of the deer that ran into my van, we’ve gotten to know one another a bit. He seems to be a good-hearted man; kind beyond the bounds of what would be required to be socially adequate in commercial exchanges. He asked how we […]
