“Planet Earth Pauses to Watch the Spectacle of Sprint”  That was the headline that caught my attention the other day, and at first I thought that if the rest of the world was like me, the headline probably wasn’t far off.  There doesn’t seem to be an Olympic event that captures the attention of the…

What is a life worth?  Are some lives worth more than others?   Human decency would say that all lives are worth the same, and society in general and the media in particular would declare that any other view is racist. However, the truth is that we apparently place more or less value on lives depending…

--> Absolutely insane.  Last week a gentleman I know took me for a drive in his Ferrari, and it was absolutely insane.  I have never been in a car that would go from zero to crazy so quick.  I wasn’t sure if I was thrilled or terrified.  
Officially the car will go from zero to…

--> I was reading an article on Cross Cultural Church Planting awhile back and came across a statement that read, “America has the second largest African American population next to Nigeria.” Now my first question was; how many African Americans do they have in Nigeria? It’s interesting how our language changes and we accept statements…

Well, another survey is out, showing that Christianity is losing ground and that church attendance is down.  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 lost from Christianity, they just haven’t been won to Christianity yet.  The starting place…

--> It’s interesting what we worry about in life.  Most of us, at one time or another, have probably worried about how our lives will end and wondered what we might do to extend the time we spend on this earth.  If you watch the news, you may have come to the conclusion that this…

--> Last month I drove to New Brunswick twice for funerals that affected our Atlantic District Ministerial family.  And on one of those trips my rental had “Driver Assist” as an option.  That was kind of cool.  It’s not quite a self-driving car, but it was close.With the Lane Departure Warning system in place, if…

--> I mentioned the tragedy of the weekend shooting to a friend the other day and they asked “Which one?”  I was referring to the massacre in Orlando but my friend had a point.Hardly a day goes by without the report of another fatal shooting south of the boarder. The outrage over the Orlando shooting…

--> “Death with dignity” or “Physician assisted suicide”, you can call it what you will but it is now a reality in Canada.  While our elected representatives have struggled to put together a law that would benefit the most and harm the least, the deadline imposed by the Supreme Court has come and gone.  The…

The other day I attended the funeral of a lady I had known for over forty years.  During my teen years,Mary Thomas was the mother of my best friend and my second mom.  I am sure that there were times that I was at the Thomas house more than I was at the Guptill house. …
