In the past two weeks Angela and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary, my 51st birthday and our granddaughter's 1st birthday and in two weeks I will celebrate the 25th anniversary of my ordination, the day I got all Rev'd up. So in thinking of that, two things crossed my mind. The first was, "where…
Happy Father’s Day
So, what did you get your dad for Father's Day? An ugly tie, soap on a rope or a pair of socks. Luckily it was always your dad who said, "It's not the gift, it's the thought that counts." I trust that you've taken the time out to thank your father for everything he's done…
Whiter than White
I had forgotten how white, white was supposed to be, until I saw how white, white was again. Say that sentence real fast a few times! We had our house washed the other day and while I knew that it was a little grimy, it wasn't until the first section was finished and we could…
There We Went. . . Not!
What do you say when you've already said it all? It is interesting that Harold Camping and his followers have been conspicuously silent since the weekend came and went without all the true believers having come and gone. Not even an "oops" or "I'm sorry". And so millions of dollars were spent and who knows…
The End is Near (Again)
If you are able to read this again on Sunday, either he was wrong or you were. In case you haven't heard the Rapture is supposed to happen this Saturday at 6:00 p.m., Eastern time I presume. I have seen the billboards myself, once in Accra Ghana and then last week in Dartmouth so I…
Not a Prophet but. . .
I don't really consider myself a prophet, but (there's that pesky "but" again) five years ago I predicted that once the same sex marriage legislation was passed the courts would have to deal with polygamy, and here we are. For the past little while, the BC Supreme Court has been dealing with a case to…
Justice?
So, Bin Laden is dead. For many people that is like being told the bogeyman is gone. The question now is; what will they fear at night? For ten years Bin Laden has been the face of those who hate America, but simply getting rid of the face won't change the opinion of others, it…
Don’t forget to Vote!
Well, have you made up your mind yet? You've had five weeks to decide but I'd be willing to wager that you had your mind made up long before then. As a matter of fact, I would suspect that there hasn't been much done or said over the past five weeks that has had much…
Swing of Emotions
Penn of DennTalk about a swing in emotions. I have been working on two separate messages this week, one for Good Friday and one for Easter Sunday. A message of despair and a message of hope. A message of defeat and a message of victory. A message about the depths that man can fall and…
You Will Get Caught
I read an article the other day that R & B singer Rhianna was mortified that nude pictures that she had sent her boyfriend, had surfaced and ended up on the internet. I wonder if it ever crossed her mind that having nude digital pictures floating around was a bad idea? It's not unusual to…
