Lately, Angela and I have been revisiting our past by strolling down the nostalgic path of old Television shows. Last week, we started season one, episode one of “Cheers,” and I found myself singing along to the theme as the opening began. In my head, of course, out loud isn’t fun for anyone, other than…
I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
I saw a meme a few weeks ago that said, “Someone asked me if I had plans for the fall. It took me a moment to realize they meant autumn and not the collapse of civilization.”Some days, as we look around, we wonder if we are witnessing the collapse of civilization as we know it. Unfolding…
Just a little Petty
I don’t think of myself as petty or someone who carries a grudge until the other day when I realized I still don’t buy Heinz ketchup and will probably never own another Mazda. The Heinz ketchup thing goes back to when Heinz closed their factory in Leamington, Ontario, in 2016 and moved their Ketchup making…
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.…
