I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping, I just happened to overhear their conversation. That’s different isn’t it? I was at Tim’s the other day and heard a group of woman expressing outrage and dismay at yet another news story about a new born who had been deserted and left to die by his mother. The general consensus…
Who is this Man? How Jesus Shaped the World’s view of Women and Marriage
Who is This Man? 3 If I was to ask you about the longest recorded conversation that Jesus had in the four gospels who would you say it involved? His best friend, Peter? John the Baptist? The High Priests when they were interrogating him or Pilate during this trial? Wrong on each account. The longest…
Too Pretty to Work.
I don’t like to judge, well sometimes I do but that’s a “Penn” for another time. But, seriously, I read a story last week about Laura Fernee a scientist from London. It appears that Ms. Fernee had to quit her job because of physical limitations…… actually it was because of her physical appearance. She told…
Who is this Man? The Least of These
It was John Lennon who said, “Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.” And from what I hear when I talk to people and read what people have to say about Jesus that seems to be the common opinion. Jesus was all…
You’ve Sent Mail!
Apparently, it was new technology for her and she was really struggling. I just happened to be there for her conversation with the support staff as she went over the process step by step.

Who is this Man? The Basics

May the Force Be With Us
There are the same number of Jedi Knights as there are Wesleyans! Well, that’s not entirely true, there are the same number of Jedi across Canada as there are Wesleyans in Atlantic Canada. But still. . . They are in decline and while some are quick to offer up reasons, nobody is offering up solutions. …
Mother’s Days for Elizabeth
It is a familiar story and one that fits with Mother’s Day. A woman who wasn’t supposed to be a mother becomes a mother. It is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible but a story that is over shadowed by another story and gets lost. We are all familiar with the first…
Who am I?
It just took two digits and all of a sudden I wasn't who I thought I was. The other day I was topping up my “Mac Pass” and the “customer service” rep informed me that either my pass didn't belong to me or I wasn't who I said I was. Well I knew the pass…
Stairway to Heaven
When I was a teen if you gave a kid a guitar eventually they would learn to play Stairway to Heaven. Not always well, but it was like the chopsticks of the guitar. That and Smoke on the Water and Cat Scratch Fever. I’m not sure that either the stairway or the heaven that inspired…
