Halle’s Hope Uncategorized

Halle’s Hope

This past Sunday at North Pointe we prayed for five-year-old Halle Popowich of St Albert, who was diagnosed with a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Without a bone marrow transplant, doctors have pegged her chances of survival at between five and 20 per cent. I was touched by the people who came up to me asking how they could find out if they were a match for Halle. Dad Kurt and mom Deana are appealing for people to get tested, even if they don’t wind up being a match for Halle. “It’s not just about Halle,” Deana said. “We feel happy that we can use her story to help so many other people. We’ve met so many other…

THE RIPPLE EFFECT: SAYING “YES” TO JESUS Uncategorized

THE RIPPLE EFFECT: SAYING “YES” TO JESUS

Every time someone says, “yes” to Jesus, the world changes for the better. I liken the results to the “ripple effect”...the expanding series of effects or consequences that are the result of a single event or action. Ripple Effect We’ve all done it - taken a stone and thrown it into a body of water and watched the concentric circles ripple outward from the point of impact. You are tied to all of that. You’re tied to the stone. You’re tied to the water. You have caused change through a single and simple act. Acts 2 The Book of Acts, chapter two, shows what one “yes” can do. Weeks earlier, Peter, a disciple of Jesus said “yes” when Jesus asked…

My Own Personal Podium

We've been going through our ALL IN series on Sundays at North Pointe.  Cindy Glubish writes, "I’ve been watching a lot of the Olympics. I have shed a few million tears. I’ve been inspired so many times I can’t begin to sum it up. As a result, I decided to research Olympic training technique. Unending amounts of information popped up. I’m sure you are not surprised by that. I wasn't." "There is only so much I can do in a month and I am going to prepare myself the best that I can." -Michael Phelps- Read her complete contribution here.

FUEL FOR GOLD Uncategorized

FUEL FOR GOLD

Tamara Oudenaarden is a retired Canadian speed skater and was a member of the Winter Olympic Team in 2010. Tamara is also a believer and a friend. I asked her to talk about one of the least observable but vitally important parts of Olympic training and how she applies that to faith. Fuel For Gold “Training is a major aspect of sport but something that people look past is the recovery which is an essential part of an athlete’s world. Fueling your body with the right things at the right time, or jumping into cold bath’s or pulling on your recovery tights are so important if you want to keep your performance level up day after day. Its essential to…

Are Your Beliefs Livable? Uncategorized

Are Your Beliefs Livable?

Your beliefs play a determining role in how you view life.  Your mind uses your beliefs to create your personal view of the real world. Wherever you are, its your beliefs that have gotten you there. Children, have beliefs impressed on them that are quotable, but not necessarily livable. For instance... · "Chocolate milk comes from brown cows." · "If you swallow a seed, a plant will grow inside you." · "If you swallow chewing gum it will stay in your stomach for 7 years." · "Ice cream vans only play music when they've run out of ice cream." We can be attracted to a belief because of its sheer beauty. Some beliefs are attractive because they appear to unify…
