Tuesdays With Harry – Remembering In Heart & Online
Over the past week, given the lovely Spring weather we are enjoying here in Winnipeg, Kim & I (and Dino) have been out a lot more, working in the yard, chatting with the neighbourhood kids and walking through the community. As much as a I love our community, these recent outings have stirred in me memories of Harry. Harry (along with the rest of the New Life Ministries crew) are largely responsible for us calling Winnipeg’s West End home. I missed him this week a great deal.
So I wanted to do something a little different today for this “Tuesdays With Harry”. Rather than post one of his many excellent columns, I want to draw your attention to the Wikipedia entry about Harry & his life. It is understandably brief, but fairly accurate. For those who do not know Harry, it might be a good place for you to start to get an idea about the man behind the columns I post here each week.
For those who knew Harry, perhaps we can all work to making this article more full. Given his appointment to the Order Of Canada, he is without question worthy of a fuller biography. If you are unsure how to use Wikipedia, feel free to send info to me and I will add it for you, as long as you can provide citation and that it is relevant to the article.
I hope those people who you look up to and draw inspiration from do not simply make you feel good or challenge you intellectually. I hope, like Harry did for us, that they disrupt your life on such a fundamental level that it changes the course of your life- or at least a change of address.
Thanks, Jamie for bringing this friend to us. We need to rub off on each other in ways that change us, even as we experience this together in Jesus and as his Body in this broken world.

Thanks for this post, Jamie. Used the link in Wikipeadia to view the video Larry left to be viewed at his service.
Chris,
What did you think of the video? If you are interested in getting a copy, the Ellice Cafe sells the DVD for $6. All proceeds support their ministry.
