Philosophy & Science… some argue that the disciplines are ultimate rivals, while others suggest they’re wholly dependent upon one another. Regardless of a particular stance on the relationship between these disciplines, I feel it’s accurate to say they’re vastly inclusive in matters of subject. Science will take on a given subject and through their defined [...]

Many of you knew our Grandma Joanne… and in fact… some of you even adopted her as your own. For that reason, I wanted to share a special part of her memorial with you. Her wish was to be cremated, and her ashes spread over the Ocean. Our Grandma loved to visit the Oregon Coast, [...]
I’ve been in a bit of a funk at work lately… and everything seemed to be annoying me to the core. Perhaps you’ve had similar spells from time to time? I suppose many people do. But for the most part, I feel I do a good job managing the day to day issues and remain [...]
From time to time people comment about how I seem to be analytical… kind of a “thinker” if you will. And recently, an acquaintance said I have a “peculiar” thought process. I considered this a compliment because I strive to remain objective, and open to new perspectives and information. Before moving on, I’ll suggest that [...]
I feel a sense of urgency building. I don’t know if you feel it too, but I believe we need to take action in prayer now. We need to take action as a community, as a nation, as the collective people of God. I’m not trying to be an alarmist; I’m just paying attention to [...]

I’m an avid Discovery Channel watcher. In fact, I would admit that more than 70% of the time that my TV is on… it’s tuned the Discovery Channel. As my friends and family know, I enjoy Science and learning more about the Natural World and our Universe. So when a new show called “Curiosity” was [...]
You may have heard recently that some people are actually trying to persuade that the holocaust never happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/genocide/deniers_01.shtml To me, this is absolute lunacy. I mean, there are literally truckloads of documents, records and pictures… not to mention piles of film reels showing the atrocities against Jews in Germany during WWII. Given this [...]

Here is my latest video blog. I hope you enjoy it. In John 3 Jesus speaks to Nicodemus, and challenges him to leave behind the certainties of his parents and his religion for a life in the Spirit. Jesus explains “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of [...]

For those of you who aren’t Canvas regulars… you might not know that we’ve recently reached some very significant milestones. In April 2011, Canvas turned 4 years old! Also, we effectively graduated from “Church Plant” status… to full-fledged “Vineyard Church”. My wife and I are not part of the original plant team… but we’ve been [...]
