86108-584373-thumbnail.jpgThe book presents the best of the first year of Today at the Mission. It is very much like the blog - a record of an emotional and spiritual journey undertaken in the kitchen of an anonymous homeless shelter that could be anywhere, or everywhere. It's not always 'light' reading but it's every bit as real as it is honest. This book captures a few miles of the journey I've been on, and I hope you'll join me along the way.

Buy the book here: Lulu.com

And yes - every cent of the profit goes to the Mission.

Changes

DateOctober 21, 2008

For some time now I've been adrift, a small raft on a very big ocean. I've been looking for a place to land. I think I've found that place.

I'm now working towards becoming a ministerial candidate with the Free Methodist Church in Canada. During this process I will be contributing to a four year old church plant here in the Little City that Could. There's a lot to do and I will continue to work full time at the Mission. As a result, this blog may have seen it's last entry for a long, long time. Work, Church, meeting the denominational requirements, Blogging, Twitter, Facebook - alas, there are only so many hours in the day.

To each and every one of you - to those of you have read, commented, stopped by occaisionally or been here since day one - Thank You

What a long, strange, wonderful trip it's been.
