Blast From The Past

Cleaning off my desk and packing up all my things... I found this note I remember scribbling down one very bitter evening.

"Here in Ancaster the snow comes down harsh
the atmosphere is all dust
forming a landscape of fine white sand
a rippling desert of dunes
in the relentless, biting wind.
Plowing and shoveling is useless.
Tracks and paths are covered in minutes.
It is cold, cold, cold... and dark."

Thinking Global

My brother, Jeffrey, makes a very interesting website from Germany known to me... I'd like to make it known to you. You want to know about Calvinism Worldwide? They say: "reformed-online.net is a global internet information service and a platform for communication. reformed online welcomes Reformed Protestants worldwide to use its comprehensive and reliable collection. Its statistical data, texts and documents are aimed both at Reformed churches and at all those who are interested, and intendeded to contribute to research and teaching. A further education programme will complete the service. reformed online will bridge the gap to Christians living in poorer countries."

Here's their page on the History of the Reformed Church in Europe.
In all likelihood, these folk are theologically "liberal," but the site seems to be a worthy project.

To Be Rash

"In my heart there was a kind of fighting, that would not let me sleep... Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well, when our deep plots do pall: and that should teach us there's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will"

Power in a Union

Students of Hamilton unite to advance the cause of International Christian Trade Unionism and Biblical social principles in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was priveleged to work on the draft committee for the vision, mission statement, and principles. Word on the street is that students in Alberta are also on the move. Can't wait to see how things turn out there. Redeemer students are getting curious, as we get ready for action next year.

How I Became An Immortal

This is a sort of vainglorious way of announcing (James) Gordon Anderson's new web domain.
Don't fail to check out my one and only "iconigraphication." My mother does not find it flattering, but that's not the point (although I find it quite flattering). Trust me, it looks like me. Dad agrees anyway.
