Thoughts of a Christian Husband, Father, and Pastor
I am the world’s most blessed man. I’m so thankful to God for all his blessings to me. Outside of Christ, nothing brings me more joy than the three women in my life. If you know me, you know I don’t come close to deserving them or their love, but God has granted me both. [...]
I took the morning off today. I took my girls for a long, long walk in their stroller, then we went to the park and played with the swings and the slide, ran around like crazy people, and played in the sand. As we were playing, I was filled with joy and delight in all [...]
Last night at GFC we read the Scriptures publicly (like we aim to do at all our meetings). We’ve been reading through the book of Proverbs one chapter at a time at our prayer meetings. This week we found ourselves in Proverbs 18. When Stacey and I got home we spent some time looking at [...]

Okay, maybe this is only funny if you know us, but here’s an excerpt from tonight’s dinner conversation. Julian: ‘Having a wife is like living with a post-modern literary critic: the only meaning that matters is the one determined by the hearer.’ Stacey: ‘Living with you is like living with a geek.’ I laughed pretty [...]
Aside from my Saviour, my greatest love is for my family. So, of course, this post brings me great delight. My wife, Stacey, has been blogging for a few months now–and I love it! This post is just reciting a few of our favourite memories of our kids from over the past few weeks. They [...]
The things in life that we are most prone to take for granted are generally not the things we should take for granted. The things we presume on are usually not those things which are ordinary, but rather, the things which we most regularly see. The funny thing about what we most regularly see is [...]
Well this afternoon I’m back in the office, sorting through e-mails and trying to figure how to begin catching up after two weeks of vacation. The highlights were (among other things) a trip to DC to visit Covenant Life Church, and a trip to the cottage this past weekend. More than just doing stuff though, [...]
At 9.53am on Sunday, November 19, 2006, my awesome wife delivered what I happen to think is the world’s most beautiful baby girl. She was born about 55cm (22 inches) long and weighed in at about 3.6kg (7lbs 15oz). The labour was long, hard, and not at all what we expected, but Stacey and I [...]
This morning, as my wife and I were making the commute in to the downtown area of Toronto (I drop her off at work before heading in to the seminary) we hit traffic. Now, for anyone who knows anything about Toronto, you’ll know that hitting traffic in Toronto is like getting wet in the rain–this [...]
My wife and I recently returned from a week of vacation at my grandparents’ cottage. Alas, the sun sets on yet another summer. ‘So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.’ — Ps 90.12
As the summer winds down, my wife and I have been able to work our schedules so that we get one more week away. We’ll be up at the cottage until Thursday or so. We’re looking forward to just being somewhere quiet together for a few days. On Wednesday night we’re seeing the play version [...]
Well, I’m back from a bit of a ‘whirlwind’ vacation that wasn’t really at all like what we planned. Oh well. Here are a few of the highlights. Obviously, highlight number one was just being able to get away with my wife (although our ‘alone time’ was more limited than we had originally hoped). I [...]
My wife pointed me to this post on the GirlTalk blog today… I don’t get it… it isn’t supposed to be this way…? On men and bbq-ing
