A Non-Hallmark Valentines Day Update

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Jeff

Happy Valentines Day. I’m reminiscing to some of my past valentines days. I remember one when Kristie and I were out to dinner with the kids and they all got sick. Like “sick and puking all over the restaurant – sick”. Sick. That one is not easily forgettable, as much as I’d like to forget [...]

A Holiday Season Challenge

Posted on November 9, 2011 by Jeff

The Holiday Season is upon us. It’s the season of giving, family and the warmth of the fire. Some people are already beginning to play Christmas Music which means it’s also the season of some really really bad Christmas songs. I’ve written about this before, but there are some really bad, annoying songs that come [...]

The Great American Songbook

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Jeff No Comments

My wife Kristie ordered “The Great American Songbook” recently. She sings with a big band and bought this book as a way to brush up on all the old ‘standards’. Just to be clear for those of you in the ‘younger generation’, the ‘standards’ are songs by Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sinatra etc, and [...]

There’s no fruit without the rain

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Jeff 2 Comments

It’s been a wonderful stretch of 4 sunny days in a row. FOUR! I don’t complain about the weather much. Complaining about the weather seems to be a pretty silly endeavor because you can’t do anything about it. If you don’t like your shirt, you can go get a new one. If you don’t like [...]

A Bad Case of the Mondays

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Jeff 7 Comments

I was feeling a pretty down Sunday night.  I wasn’t sure why, but I had a growing discontent towards this season of life the Kerrs are in.  Part of it was that I was just crabby.  But truth be told, I was a bit miffed at the pace that God was unveiling his ‘next steps’ [...]

Either He is God, or He’s not.

I’m in the airport, returning home from a very bitter, very sweet trip home to Toronto.   The reason for the trip was to attend the funeral service for my cousin’s husband Robbie Hall.  Robbie was tragically killed in a construction accident in Zambia.  Robbie and Kate (my cousin) and their three kids had been [...]

Super Bowl Music Review

Posted on February 7, 2011 by Jeff 6 Comments

Hi there.  This is my review of last night’s super bowl broadcast.  This will be part defense of Christina Aguilerra, part bashing of sound man, part Black Eye Peas ‘what the wha??”.  This will not have anything to do with football or television commercials. Except to say that the Packers looked great.  I like that [...]

Welcome, Here’s the continuation of the typepad blog.  (the beginning of the blog is at jeffkerr.net  it’s kind of a ‘choose your own adventure’ thing I’ve done today) I’ve committed to reading through the Bible this year.  It’s been a long time since I’ve done that which is lame.  It’s the Bible.  I should really [...]

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Jeff 2 Comments

New Year’s Resolutions for Facebook. I like facebook.  I’ve enjoyed using it to stay in touch with friends and family around the world.  It has indeed revolutionized how we connect with each other.  But as with most things in life, there is the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’.   So, at the dawn of a new year, [...]

Ever have one of those moments when you make a big decision only to have the following thoughts soon after: “what the what??? Did I just quit my job?” I’m kidding…Kind of. More on that in a bit. As of this weekend, the word is out, I’ve resigned my position as Creative Arts Pastor at [...]
