Do you ever watch things that make you scratch your head? A couple of weeks ago I saw some of the footage from the riots that ripped through Vancouver after the Stanley Cup. Bizarre, what were they thinking? Apparently they weren't. I mean really, what would cause rational human beings to react that way? And…
Every Story Has a Beginning
Every Story has a beginning and this is it. Earlier this year one of my Sunday messages was based in Hebrews 11 and as the scripture was being read I thought to myself, “wow, that was no ordinary family.” And because I have a one track mind my next thought was “that would make a…
Time Flies
In the past two weeks Angela and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary, my 51st birthday and our granddaughter's 1st birthday and in two weeks I will celebrate the 25th anniversary of my ordination, the day I got all Rev'd up.

A Dad’s Words

Forgiveness of the Righteous
It wasn't read a part of the scripture this morning but most of your bibles contain a one line introduction to this Psalm, the KJV beats around the bush a little bit here when it says "To the chief musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone…
Whiter than White
I had forgotten how white, white was supposed to be, until I saw how white, white was again. Say that sentence real fast a few times! We had our house washed the other day and while I knew that it was a little grimy, it wasn't until the first section was finished and we could…
