People seem divided about what happened last week in Toronto at the TFC game.  (For those of you who are as ignorant as I am, I’ll save you the google. TFC is a soccer team.)  You have probably read about or have seen the reports that went viral after fans yelled vulgar comments at television…

In a society that seems to be obsessed with violence, almost to the point of celebrating it, this was a refreshing story.  Kevin Vickers gave the convocation address at Mount Allison University this past week after being granted an honorary degree.  For those who have been living in a cave for the past seven months,…

Up until yesterday the name Andre Levingston didn’t mean anything to me. If I had heard it before, and I probably had, it had never registered with me.  And then I saw Levingston in an interview with ATV news anchor Steve Murphy and I kind of liked him.  In case you are like me, Levingston…

It really seemed as if he had gotten away with it.  For almost forty years Clarence Moore had lived as a free man after escaping from a North Carolina prison where he was serving an eleven year sentence for larceny. But last week the sixty-six year old fugitive voluntarily turned himself in.  It seems that…

Sometimes we hear folks describe the youth of today as having a “sense of entitlement”, but that really isn’t anything new.  I’m sure Adam and Eve had that discussion about their children and Socrates must have had that in mind over two thousand years ago when he wrote “Children are now tyrants, not the servants…

That year gas sold for 54.3 cents a litre, the five year mortgage rate was 10.6 % and the Canadian dollar was worth about 72 cents American.   Some might remember that was the year that the Maple Leaf Gardens were sold, the Paul Bernado trial began, Quebec narrowly decided to remain a part of Canada,…

Next week we will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of our first public service.  But our first “non” public service was held 20 years ago this week.  In order to be somewhat sure that everything would work on our grand opening, we had a “trial” service on April 2, 1995.  And so Stan Wickwire and…

We’ve been having a few leaks in the church building lately & actually that kind of minimizes the issue. If we were a boat we’d be sinking.  Ten years ago, as I watched the property being cleared and test pits being dug, I was in no way thinking about the building problems we might be…

It’s here, it’s here! That time of the year that we all look forward to. The time of the year that we realize how lucky we are to live in this wonderful country and we can take the time to reflect on how blessed we are. That’s right... it’s “Tax Time”! What did you think…
