Well, that is a little disturbing. Actually, it is very disturbing. But unfortunately, not unexpected. Since the news was released about Luka Magnotta’s murder and dismemberment of Jun Lin in Montreal, he has garnered literally hundreds of online fans. His largest fan page on Facebook has over 1400 members and that is just one of…
Did He Really Say That?
Man on the Street video about Jesus. So who do you think Jesus was? And more importantly: who do you think Jesus is today? You obviously think something about Jesus you are sitting in church on Sunday Morning. So who is Jesus for you? Usually Jesus gets good reviews, even when people don’t think he…
Walking the Wire
What were you doing Friday night? A lot of people were watching Nik Wallenda walk across Niagara Falls on a wire. Pretty impressive. I don't want to rain on Nik’s parade, but I have always been a fan of the Great Blondin who made numerous walks across the Falls in the mid 1800s, including once…
God was His Father, But Joseph Was His Dad
(Video for Luke I am your father) “I am your father” probably one of the greatest scenes in movie history. For most of us we know who our dad is, or at least we assume we do. My father used to tell me that I belonged to the Milk man in Chatham NB, he said…

And so for all of you who missed this great theatre from yesteryear, here is the dance of Joy in its purest…
That’s not space. . .
That’s not space, that’s just really high in the sky. . . I was brought up watching Star Trek, watching them “Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before”. When I was 9, I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon and when I was 17 I was introduced to the conflicts that were happening…
What Jesus said about. . . Fear
What Jesus Said About Fear So, what are you afraid of? What it is that sends Goosebumps up and down your spine, brings your heart to your throat and makes you want to throw up just thinking about it? Snakes, heights, spiders, enclosed spaces? Back in the day one of my favourite shows was “Fear…
