Archive for April, 2007

The last week of school was one of intrigue and suspense. In the middle of marking final exams my stapler went missing, a fact that was made all the more frustrating by the fact that I had used it not twenty minutes beforehand. I tore my office apart several times over but to [...]

This will be the last hockey-related post for the 2006-2007. My sincere thanks to the Detroit Red Wings for ending the most pitiful and embarrassing display of hockey by any Flame team since the early 1990s. I didn’t think it was possible but they managed to play as badly at home as they [...]

Baby Steps

I’ve been taking a bit of heat for my harsh assessment of the first two games of the Calgary/Detroit series so I thought I’d clarify my thoughts now that the Flames appear to have dragged themselves back into this series.

I’m nearing the end of this year’s introductory course where we go through many of the basics of [...]

Face-lift

Those who follow the happenings of Bethany College may be interested to check out our new website. There are still a few kinks to iron out so you may run into the odd dead link but overall I think the new look is good.

Seeing the events of Holy Week through the eyes of a three year old is a truly delightful experience. I got to hear the following breathless summary after church yesterday morning:
“Daddy, Daddy, Jesus came alive!! The disciples killed him, but Jesus came alive!! First he had supper, then he died on the [...]
