The Fragrance and the Silver
What an incredible turn of events. These verses sit between Palm Sunday, or the Triumphant Entry, which is celebrated this week, and the events of Good Friday, which we will be recognizing in just a few days. And we see here an occasion of worship and an occasion of betrayal. I’m not sure how many…
Spring, Where are You?
Spring is here, spring is here, spring is here. I figure maybe if I use the word spring enough, that maybe spring will come and warmer weather will spring forth, flowers will spring up, and the springs will thaw out. I just looked outside, and it doesn’t seem to be working.This week, during our last…
Play Again!
I missed a good part of it while I was away, but I’m back and I still have time to, “Play Again.” That’s right, it’s “Roll up the Rim to Win” time at Tim Horton’s.For years, I expressed disappointment whenever I rolled up my rim to reveal the dreaded words, please play again. I even…
Spring!
Have you noticed lately how much more daylight we are seeing? Each day, it's getting light earlier and staying light longer, and, as Martha Stewart would say, that's a good thing.Spring is not only an awesome time of the year, but it's also a great metaphor for life. No matter how dark, cold and long…
Ouch!
Apparently, I have a nondisplaced fracture at the level of the humeral head greater tuberosity.If you are like me, you had to Google that to find out I fractured my shoulder. It happened in December when I slipped in the snow and fell. And yes, it hurt, and no, I didn’t go to the ER.It…
When MAID become Murder!
In a 2023 Penn, I wrote, “We need to understand that MAID is not assisted suicide. Suicide is taking one’s own life, but MAID is asking the state to take it for you. I wonder how long it will be before the state won’t wait to be asked.” I guess I don’t have to wonder…
It’s like the Weather
I used to say if I didn’t like the weather forecast, I would just keep changing radio stations until I found a forecast I liked. Now I just check various weather apps on my phone until I find the one that suits me. I understand why different weather apps might disagree on what the weather…
To be Human is to be Tempted.
Forty days, in the wilderness. Forty days, not four, not fourteen but forty. And all he took with him was what he was wearing. He wasn’t part of a tribe, had nobody to build an alliance with, it was just him, a rugged terrain and God. What did he eat? Did he hunt, or fish.…
Disappointed and Thankful
If you haven’t heard, the trip that Greg Drost and I had planned to visit the Wesleyan Church in Bangladesh next week has been cancelled, or at least postponed. Almost two weeks ago, our team had a video meeting with our host from Bangladesh, and he recommended that we delay our trip, for a couple…
Human’s Were Created With a Purpose
Imagine if you will that you own a beautiful and lavish home, not a far stretch for most of us here who live in a style that most of the world can only imagine, but I digress. Imagine if you will that you owned a beautiful and lavish home, a home that you had designed…
