The mail always gets through, eventually.  I read a news story a number of years ago about a post card that arrived in Aberdeen Scotland from Brisbane Australia a little late.  In most cases surface mail from “Down Under” can take up four to six weeks to make the journey to Scotland. The problem was…

I read the other day that 58 % of sport fans pray that their team will win. I'm not sure what to make of that, other than wild speculation concerning the spiritual condition of Atlanta Falcon fans during this year’s Super Bowl. Think about it, 58 %, so how would, or more importantly, how should God respond…

I felt kind of silly, again.  We had just gotten off our cruise last week and we were picking up our rental car, a brand-new Ford Fusion.  I loaded our luggage, jumped in and pushed the button and nothing happened.  The engine didn’t start, the tach didn’t move, nothing.  So, I pushed the button again…

Where was the outrage? Unless you were in a cave over the past week, then you are aware of the attack on the Mosque in Quebec city on Sunday.Those things aren’t supposed to happen in Canada.  And yet they do.  And if the attack had of been against a church there would have been all kinds…

I have read a number of disturbing stories recently about teachers and administrators in schools, in Canada and the States, who have been charged with possession of child porn or with being sexually involved with students.  What I haven’t read is reaction by people who say that they will no longer send their children to…

It suddenly dawned on me how cold it was.  I was filling my car up and realized that I was cold and not just a little cold either…… I was really cold.  And then I had an epiphany. It was minus 14 and I was pumping gas with my leather jacket wide open and no…

I recently heard someone commenting on what a bad year 2016 had been.  I was a little intrigued so I asked what had made the year so bad.  So they began to list off the celebrities who had passed away in 2016.  I wasn’t sure how many there were or even who they were so…

If you are a Metro reader then hopefully you caught their “happy Edition” published on December 23rd.Across Canada, all seven editions of the Metro committed to publish only positive news, at least for that day. Cathrin Bradbury, Metro’s Editor-in-Chief, introduced the edition with a brief editorial, speaking of hope and optimism, a sentiment that seemed particularly…

You find truth in some of the strangest places.  I was reading an article online awhile ago, Unitarian minister Marilyn Sewell was interviewing atheist Christopher Hitchens.  Hitchens who passed away in 2011 was the epitome of “all dressed up and no place to go”, he was also the author of “God is not Great: How Religion…
