I have not blogged since June 6th. During this time life and ministry accelerated at Cityview as we had four straight weeks of teams serving our city with us. My blogging sabbatic has been accompanied by the death of my laptop and now the purchase of another. As well the kids are out of school and the brilliant summer of Vancouver is upon us. I spent a few days in Ottawa enjoying the annual convention of the CCSB; you can view video of the session at the folliwng link. A few of my personal highlights that I would recommend: Tuesday Afternoon–Share Vignette, compelled to share; Tuesday Evening–New Directions by Gerry Taillon, compelled to strengthen, and the message from Henry Blackaby; Wednesday Morning–message from Rob Blackaby; Wednesday Evening–the missions celebration and the message from Henry Blackaby. One of the advances in our Convention meeting this year was that each session was streamed in real time for anyone with a high speed connection to view. I hope you are blessed by the messages shared in the convention.
