The Price of Leadership

The Bounty has been lost. . . again.  I first heard about the problems the Bounty was having early Monday morning as the initial reports came out and I followed the progress of her loss and the rescue of most of her crew with rapt fascination.  It’s an interesting quirk of human nature that I…

QRC- Intro

QRC Intro They are everywhere.  You can find them in magazines, in newspapers, on bill boards, stores and restaurants.  You know what I’m talking about those funky little square bar codes that are showing up everywhere.  They are called Quick Response Codes and they were first developed by a subsidiary of Toyota in 1994 for…

Shameful . . .

So, did you vote last week?  Probably not, since we were told that less than half those who were eligible to vote actually cast a ballot.  And if you fall in that category it is shameful and inexcusable.  People say “But Denn you don’t understand,  I didn’t know the issues or candidates.”  Well, whose fault…

The Result of our behaviour.

Over the past four weeks I’ve been speaking about what Jesus said about our behaviour, and if you were looking for a specific list of what we can do and can’t do you’ve been disappointed.    Jesus didn’t provide a detailed list but instead insisted that our relationship with God would lead to proper behaviour.  And…

Happy Thanksgiving

So, how was your Thanksgiving?  We had a full house this year. My folks were here from Saint John, our daughter and her family we up from Shelburne,  and we had some time with our son and his girlfriend in the Valley on Saturday.  We did the traditional feast on Monday and will eat leftovers…

Follow Me

What Jesus Said about Our Behaviour:  Follow Me Last month I received an email from a man who is planning on carrying a cross across Nova Scotia.  He didn’t tell me how big the cross was going to be but I’m assuming that it isn’t going to be a small cross.  And to tell the…

It’s Just a Matter of Time

The Toronto District School Board insists that it’s not endorsing polygamy.  In a recent promotion to help prevent “gender-based violence”, the school board’s website has a poster with the message “Love has no gender” in white capital letters surrounded by various hearts containing stick figure people.  In one of the hearts, there is an image…
