Ok so I’ve never had a flu vaccination in my life, for the record. I’m unsure I’ve ever had the flu because Kopes don’t get sick or think we can or recognize if we are. I thought it would be interesting to walk the tightrope of polarization and have a laugh at the whole vaccination thing, so here goes…Our family was recently vaccinated. I’m decently sure we … Continue reading The Zombie Shot

Now to be clear I only on occasion call Trump Trump and not “Mr Trump” or “President Trump” because he’s not MY president. I’m Canadian. I’m a bit old school when it comes to honouring those in authority and never refer to Premier Kenney as anything less than Mr. I need to honour him whether I agree with him or not because I can only reap … Continue reading I Would Miss Trump

I recently preached a sermon called Leverage Love (Not Fear) at Venue as I thought about some of the issues we’re facing today. I think the problem today is not what everyone is talking about. It’s not Covid. The problem is fear. Covid is just another problem that the world has lots of. Generations before us faced problems with different names, generations after us will face problems … Continue reading Fear’s Greatest Hits
“Guys, if you didn’t need a motorcycle BEFORE covid, you don’t need one now”… is what I said about a week before I bought myself a motorcycle. In my defence I recorded the video on our Venue Youtube channel a week or two before it came out. So, two weeks. But there’s no getting around the fact I bought a bike. Some poor fool in Kelowna (actually he … Continue reading Don’t Bother Pointing That Out
I think it’s time to dream again. I’m tired of this fearful outlook all the time. I’m tired of the news and it’s obsession with worst-case-scenarios. I’m tired of Albertans taking every piece of information at face value and not questioning the hand guiding it. I don’t like that we’re susceptible to fear and propaganda. I don’t like that we get tunnel vision and forget … Continue reading Dream Again
Sooooo. By now you’ve discovered that you haven’t done all the things on your bucket list you always told yourself you would “If you had the time”. Well, you likely had the time in the past month with work/ extra activities cancelled and are now at the kitchen table reading this in between Netflix binge worthy shows? (Not sure what qualifies a show as binge … Continue reading Unmotivated
Seriously people! Eye contact does NOT spread the coronavirus! Some of our relatives grew up in war time in other countries. My grandfather’s village was stuck between two armies in the Ukraine. My mom’s side grew up in England during the war. I wish we had a little more of the indomitable spirit that we used to have, but maybe this is the time to … Continue reading Eye Contact Doesn’t Spread COVID
I was talking to a friend who is a business owner and he’s facing what we’re all facing: A new norm. When the sun is shining and there’s more than enough to go around one can employ any number of strategies for running a business and likely survive. The great leveller with the far reaching effects of COVID-19 is that it changed the rules for … Continue reading The Paranoid Ones
