Praise God for what he's up to in Calgary. I've actually visited Calgary (and Medicine Hat) a long time ago and loved it while I was there. Hope to keep in touch with ya - do you have a blog or anything? How exciting man! Praise God for what he’s up to in Calgary.

Combining my sharp wit with the brute force of Google (and your well-laid-out blog) I put two-and-two together to realize, "I know this guy! I sat in class with him! Wow..." I've recently become involved with a network of house churches in Calgary, AB. So, though I'm not responding to your post, I am giving you a hearty "hello, eh?" from chilly Canada. I look forward to reading more of what you've written. Grace and Peace, Michael Hey Mark,
