What an ending to an All-Time tour. Canada i love you! Calgary, what can i say? What an unforgettable night. I already can’t wait to get back. Maybe my fav of the night was playing a song from our new Christmas cd. It was so much fun and a bit crazy. Thanks for going with us on that one even though it’s not even Thanksgiving.
By the way, got to spend the afternoon in Banff. Had some friends kindly drive us to see this beautiful town i have been hearing about for years. It is unreal. Of course it was a bit freezing, but worth the effort to be there. Me and the boys had a good time strolling main street. Ate at an awesome burger joint called “eddie’s.” I highly recommend.
Edmonton, i am so sorry i did not get a post up last night. Didn’t have internet. Thanks so much for making Thursday night so special as well. The energy and passion in the room was amazing. I look forward to seeing you again as well.
To Edmonton and Calgary, don’t forget to check out onemillioncan.com (we can make a massive difference in this world)…it’s worship with “legs”
Oh Canada!!! i can’t wait to see you again.
peace and much love! happy thanksgiving.

Good times in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Always has been one of my favorite names for a town and province. But now i can say I have been here and i love it.
Loved all you guys down at the front tonight. You were fuel to the fire. I look forward to coming back through.
Side note. Had a great lunch with the boys today at Earls.
Another side note. Reconnected with a good friend from the early years in Texas, Lou Levanthal. He’s a pastor here is Sas… great to see you Lou and your beautiful family. Bless you brother.
peace and love,

Again, another day of firsts. First trip to the great city of Winnipeg. The first day of our first Christmas record. So tonight we played “Emmanuel” from the new record, “Glory in the Highest.” Thanks Winn. for going with us on that one. It was a little off the set but thought we should go for it. You sounded great on it by the way.
We felt the love tonight.
Was reading this passage from 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 today. It’s a great group of verses to carry especially as you travel from city to city. It’s a reality check about success. I love how it says “we did not put on a mask to cover up greed… we are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts.” amen.
peace and goodnight to all…

So I’m back on the bus after one of the best nights ever. The room was electric! Seriously some of the best people ever at one of our concerts. We were blown away tonight.
We need to play in Toronto every year!
One of my favorite moments tonight was playing “praise the Father, praise the Son.” Daniel and I have been playing it just on our acoustics. I love to hear Daniel play like that. It’s like it brings a real sense of peace into the room. Not many ever get to hear Daniel play acoustic because he is always on electric. He is an incredible acoustic player.
It was so cool tonight playing in one of the most international cities. the gateway to North America. I had the sense if Toronto lights up for the glory of God, then its influence will reach the world. “Greater things have yet to come”
side note: We added a song to the set tonight that I haven’t played in years. “unchanging”… does anyone else remember this one? There was a great group of friends that started waiting outside the venue doors early this morning. I went out to meet them and asked them if
they wanted a particular song. One guy mentioned “unchanging” so we worked it up. It was really fun!
Over the next couple of days we will be traveling to Winnipeg.
see you soon.
chris
