His Enduring Word.

I saw a fascinating headline the other day, it read, “Cain and Abel plays out in Guyana murder of Canadian man.” The story was one of a sibling rivalry that started with jealousy and ended in murder.  What I found fascinating, though, was the reference to Cain and Abel.I find it interesting that in today’s…

Yuck, Winter!

What is with the weather? One day, it’s beautiful, sunny and warm and just a few days later, it’s snowing, cold and miserable. Didn’t Old Man Winter get the memo?  He isn’t supposed to be here for another six weeks. I have discovered in my travels that all over the world, the weather is the…

What about the Duck?

But what about the duck? That was the question I asked last week when someone posted the story about the hunting dog that was taken by a shark off the coast of Nova Scotia. There were all kinds of discussions and comments about the dog, which was killed by the shark while retrieving a duck its…

More Power to You

I had heard about range anxiety, but I had never experienced it. But that was before last Saturday.  Last weekend, I had the opportunity to drive a brand-new EV (Electric Vehicle), and it was a beautiful car. The only issue was that it had a 400 km range when it was fully charged, and I…

What’s in a Colour?

It seemed like a no-brainer, something everyone should be able to agree on. But then again, not necessarily so when you are dealing with people. The question is simple: Is a tennis ball green, yellow or some other colour? Simple, right? Everybody knows the answer is green. Or maybe not. In one survey, when 30,000…

Radical Generosity

Here’s something you probably won’t hear in the news. Last week, Churches of all stripes and denominations came together to love on the Atlantic Provinces. There were Wesleyans, Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics, and everything in between.The collective efforts of these churches represented hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours. Coffee was poured, schools…

Cast the first Stone

Is there anything in your past you’d rather remain in your past?  Were there things you did or said as an 18-year-old that don’t necessarily reflect who you are today?There are any number of things I said and did as a teenager that aren’t indicative of my character today. At least, I hope they aren’t.…

Don’t Quit

It was so cool. Angela and I won tickets to see Boney M in concert in December. We were delivering a meal to a church family on Friday, and we had the radio on when they announced the contest.  All we had to do was wait for the next Boney M song to be played…

The Public Purse

Imagine if you were renovating your home, and your budget was $3,300.00 per square foot. That would translate into a little under three-quarters of a million dollars to spend renovating my 200 sq foot office, or 8 million for a 2500 sq foot home.The National Capital Commission has recently released a report saying that in…

Political Advice

In a time of political chaos, in a culture that is hostile to Christians and what we believe, how is the church to respond? That’s a good question and a question that is answered in many ways. And nobody can seem to agree on what the church should take a stand for or against and…
