On Outreach

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Sorry for not posting in so long — life has been busy and hectic at Capernwray. I’m on outreach right now in Yeovil, which is in the South of England, working with unchurched youth. It’s been pretty sweet so far. Working with two organizations mainly, SWYM and Urban Warriors, which have partnered to make a [...]

Capernwray in 2008

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Well, 2008 thus far has been a bit bumpy, but I have high hopes for it. My flight has been delayed 9 hours, so I leave in the morning at 6:20, that is to say, I fly out at 6:20, and will probably leave home around 2. Fun. School started last Saturday, so what’s another [...]

First Term, Coming to an End

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

It’s been a busy term here at Capernwray. My time has been filled quicker than I could have thought — please forgive me for not keeping this up to date. Internet is a difficult thing to come by, though it’s around, it’s incredibly slow.
It seems like yesterday that I walked off the plane in a [...]

Week 4: My Beginning at Capernwray

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Last weekend was so busy, and internet is not very convenient during the week, so I was not able to make an update. If you didn’t know, I’ve made the move from Oxford to Capernwray last weekend. The trip up was nice, I had a nice talk with some folks from Canada and America on [...]

Week 2: Naps, Walks and Photos

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

The last week has been kind of a blur really. I do remember three things distinctly though: lots of napping, lots of walking, lots of photographing — probably in that order.
Naps
I love Oxford, lots of character and beauty, with friendly people. I have to admit I haven’t explored it as well as I could have. [...]

Week 1: Arrival

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Note: Trip Updates might be a little scattered and rushed because of the little time I have to get online. Other posts I am hoping to be more developed.
As most of you know I have made my way to England now where I will soon be starting my 6 month Bible Course at the Capernwray [...]

While I’m Away, I’ll Write and Play

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Wow. Tomorrow I’m crossing the big pond and landing myself in England. If you didn’t know, I’m going to a Capernwray Hall for a 22 week bible course — school starts on the 29th. Thanks to all who have supported me emotionally and financially — I couldn’t have done it with out you.
I’ll be staying [...]

My Freedom and My Legalism

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Reading 1 Corinthians 6:23-33 I realize how my perception of Christian duty can be very skewed sometimes.
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
Eat anything sold [...]

Open a Door

Friday, July 13th, 2007

I’m reading “Detox Your Spiritual Life in 40 Days” by Peter Graystone, and finding it very insightful. There’s a chapter called “Open a Door” where Graystone makes the point that as Christians we need to live our lives as though at any moment anyone could peer in to our lives as through an open [...]

A Recurring Message in Recent Weeks

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Wow - through many many many outlets this message has come to me! On my own, watching TV, listening, thinking, stewing, experiencing, and today in my reading of scripture from Jeremiah. I’m going to put in two versions, the version I read from the Message (A paraphrase) and from the NIV Bible, which deciphers word [...]
