About Me
I am the pastor at Alamosa Christian Reformed Church in Alamosa CO. I am married to an amazing woman full of compassion for the marginalized hence she is a special ed teacher of severe needs children. We have three boys (men), one married, one who endeavors to sing opera for a living, and the youngest in college. I am committed to Kingdom Theology and deeply believe in a biblical community that develops disciples for Christ. I am a small group geek and believe they are the best avenue in this endeavor. When managed with vision and mission small groups can cover all areas needed in developing as disciples of Jesus Christ.
I am now a CRC Network guide in the Small Groups department.

Interests
I am an avid reader, fly fisher and tier, homebrewer, musician & singer, outdoor enthusiast and a HUGE rugby fan. I play guitar, bass and blues harp and gig whenever I can. My taste in music is quite eclectic ranging from jazz and blues to some pop, opera/classical and sacred, bluegrass, metal and world music. It all depends on my mood.

And not every province has the same procedure for a temp license. My experience doing a wedding in Ontario last summer was very different than getting a temp license in BC two summers ago.
I get that and I think your point was clearly made early on. And I have no problem with dissenting dialogue, but that issue won't get resolved here but has been highlighted. Points were...
I think we should be shouting that God loves people. I'm afraid that the focus of egalitarianism is side-tracking any discussion regarding the quality and content of the curriculum that...
Great article Phil. I'm going to show it to our council. Even out in here in rural isolated America, the same problem exists. I've been wresting with the best way to do...
