I don't want to say, "I told you so. . .but!" Recently at a national convention, a committee of the Green Party of Canada, voted to send a motion to the full party for it to be debated and voted on. The motion will call for the decriminalization of . . . you waiting for…

It’s what I said, but it’s not what I meant. Don’t you hate it when someone deliberately misrepresents your words? I googled my name the other day. I know, I know, I’m so vain. Actually I do it occasionally to see who is quoting me in their sermon,. I know, I know, I’m so vain.  …

Penn of Denn90,000! That's the number of leaked American military documents that were recently made public by "Wikileaks", the online whistle blowing site. It will be interesting to see how the revelations from those documents impact the American and Canadian's public support for the war in Afghanistan.I've been torn on the issue for a long…

Have you ever noticed how many accident reports on the news end with the words "alcohol may have been a factor"? Especially in the summer time. The interesting thing is that it doesn't really seem to concern folks. If every weekend there was an accidental gun death there would be a national campaign to ban…

The Blame Game. We've all played it from one time or another, trying to pin the reasons for our bad behavior on somebody else. It's my parent's fault, my friend's fault, society's fault; it must be, because I'm not to blame for how I behave.Gabrielle Nagy has taken it to the next level and has…

I have been smitten! As most of you know, there is another woman in my life and she is absolutely gorgeous. A blue-eyed blonde, she already has me wrapped around her little finger. So it looks like Angela is going to have to share me, and she doesn't seem to mind. No, we aren't moving…

Since deciding to use the inukshuk as a theme for our summer messages, we have been on the quest to find inuksuit. (Now you know what the plural of inukshuk is!) And I realized that in our culture a lot of people are familiar with the term. I wouldn't have thought that at all. I…

Penn of DennIt's people like Lauren Rosenberg, who disprove evolution. The Utah woman is suing Google Maps, because she got hit by a car, while following walking directions provided by the free online service. Yep, Rosenberg claims that by following the directions on her BlackBerry, she ended up walking along a rural highway without sidewalks…

Penn of DennMy inukshuk had been decapitated. And I was cranky, maybe even a little angry. How, you might wonder, had my inukshuk been decapitated? Glad you asked. My summer series of messages will be based on, "The Kingdom of Heaven is Like an Inukshuk." (You will have to be here on June 20th to…
