The bible teaches us to be careful because we will reap what we sow. That’s still a valuable life lesson for people to learn today, the concept that our personal choices have consequences. A Montreal woman recently posted negative comments on social media about her OBGYN, as well as calling the Doctor’s receptionist snooty, and…
It’s Pretty Important for Me
A number of years ago, a friend of mine bought a book entitled, “The 100 Most Important Events In Christian History.” In the course of a conversation, he asked me what I would consider fit into that category. It didn’t take me very long to come to my conclusion, “My salvation”, I replied. And maybe…
Wisdom for the Ages
Recently I have found myself immersed in a book of wisdom. I’m sure Angela is growing tired of my constant interruptions as I regale her with yet another new discovery. As I read I am constantly thinking:” Wow!” “Amazing” & ”I didn’t know that.” Stories of great achievements by folks with obscure names and stories…
Be Careful What You Share
Perhaps you’ve seen some of the warnings and maybe you’ve even shared them. Many of the warnings have been showing up on Facebook and other social media. They involve Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) and they are alarming and true. People are being warned that DHMO is used by the nuclear power industry, that it is used…
Why Worry?
A couple of weekends ago I broke a tooth. It was nasty. I could feel it with my tongue and half of the tooth was missing. I wasn’t sure if it was the tooth or the filling that was broken, but I knew that something had to be done. First thing on Monday I called…
Let your words be gentle
It is never pleasant when neighbours can’t get along. You might remember years ago, there were two families in the news who shared a duplex in a nearby community. They were feuding, and it was just nasty. In case you missed it, it seems like there is some quarrelling happening between Canada and our neighbour…
The Future has Changed
Some have called it a victory for women’s rights. Others call it the day “Cultural Catholicism” died. Others have no idea what happened in Ireland on May 25th. But whatever you view, and whichever side you supported you will have to concede that the future of Ireland will be different because the 8th Amendment was…
We are Family
With the passing of my father last week, I was reminded once again of the importance of family. We were surrounded by my sister and her family along with various cousins, nieces and nephews, many of whom my kids had never met before. I continue to be amazed at how tragedies cause us to circle…
It’s all in how you view it
Well, another survey is out showing that Christianity is losing ground and that church attendance is down. The world would like us to think that we’re failing in our mission. But, depending on your perspective, we aren’t losing, we’re winning. When you stop and think about it, every person who isn’t a Christian hasn’t been…
Dreams not Nostalgia
From ski slaloms to swimming pools. What had once been showpieces on the world stage are now ruins. The victims of war, neglect and bankrupt nations. I read an article the other day about Olympic venues from around the world that are no longer in use and have fallen into total disrepair. And that wasn’t…
