    Your Heart’s Road Is More Important than the Henday (a highway located in Edmonton, AB) 1) It cost more to build. 2) It leads to a better destination. 3) Keep it well maintained!

    Motorists travelling around Edmonton now have access to 21 more kilometres of free-flowing road thanks to the recent completion of the northwest leg of Anthony Henday Drive. Construction began three years ago and cost $1.42 billion. That’s over $67.6 million per kilometer, $67,600 per meter, ...read more

    Have you ever asked God "Why?" I'm sure that was the question on the lips of John's disciples following the news of his execution.

    This wasn’t the way it was supposed to end. He was the product of a good family, he had been raised worshipping God, he had followed God’s calling, had done God’s work and had preached God’s message and this wasn’t the way it was supposed to end. In a million years he ...read more

    Who among us is better than Herod? Who among us has not twisted events, facts, details, to suit our own purposes? Who among us has not placed more value on our image than on human need? Who among us has not intentionally given in to easier of the two choi

    I'll admit to you all that I had a difficult time with this passage. I spent weeks staring at it , researching it, praying about it, looking for that point of brilliance that would dazzle and amaze you all, once more showing off my preaching skills, once more being the "golden boy."
