I didn’t think it would happen, but it did. And it was tough! I had to ask for help. I was pretty sure I could do it by myself, but apparently, I couldn’t. I tried. I really wanted to do it myself. But alas, it was not to be. Last week, I was installing new…
A Tale from the Crypt
It was so dark, and so cold. He had no idea where he was, how long he had been there or what he was supposed to be doing. The last thing he remembered was being at home in bed. He had been sick; nobody knew what to do or even what was wrong. The doctors…
Banned
Banned. It seems that in today’s culture, you can choose to identify as a variety of thing. You can pick the gender you wish to identify as and, according to therians and otherkins, you can even pick your species.However, it would appear that you can’t choose to identify as blind when you can actually see.Last…
Do we really?
Last Saturday morning, I was leaving Tim Horton’s, as hard as that is to believe, when an older gentleman spoke to me. He nodded and commented on the beautiful morning. To which I replied, “Yes, and it’s supposed to be like this all weekend.” His response was, “It’s about time. We deserve it.”And it might…
Colossians: Household Rules
It was a struggle; I was thinking that this week I would preach from Colossians 4:5–6 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.

Turned away at the counter, she left the airport angry. Angry with traffic, angry with the airport staff and angry with herself for not leaving earlier for the airport.…
Rediscovering Your REAL ID
You would think that some things should go without saying, but obviously not. You may have heard on the news that American air travellers are now required to have REAL ID to board their planes. If REAL ID isn’t available, the accepted alternatives are passports, border crossing and permanent resident cards. But apparently not Costco…
Colossians: The Choices We Make
Colossians Your Choice I have a confession to make. I have way too many shirts. I don’t know what it is, but I have a closet full of shirts. Now before you judge me about being fiscally irresponsible, I’m also a Frenchie’s shopper. For years, when I was at my heaviest, I found it difficult…
Something in the Air.
Interesting. I read an excerpt from the book, Murderland, Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. The book’s author, Caroline Fraser, speculates on the toxic air around the industrial city of Tacoma, Washington, in the early 1960s and its impact on some of those who lived in Tacoma during that time.The air was…
And we Prayed!
The other day, I had the opportunity to spend six hours in Truro with eighty pastors from around the Maritimes. There were Wesleyans, Baptists, Pentecostals and Catholic clergy who had gathered with one purpose: to pray. To pray for our churches, to pray for our people, to pray for our politicians and to pray for…
