Crazy stuff on the news. In the past three months we have seen flooding of Biblical proportions (their words not mine) in Australia, earthquakes in New Zealand, earthquakes, erupting volcanoes and nuclear accidents in Japan and the U.S. has Charlie Sheen. In a discussion with someone about the weird stuff happening worldwide I mentioned how…
The Cat in the Hat
The Cat in the HatThe Cat. . .in. . .the. . .Hat. The Cat in the Hat is probably the best known of any of Dr. Seuss’s books, with the possible exception of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but really most people are more familiar with the Grinches’s Christmas special or movie then they are…
Rollllll up the Rim
As a country, we have now come together for a national season of prayer. Collectively, even though most folks wouldn’t consider Canada to have a national religion, it becomes very apparent at this time of year that we have a common point of faith. I’m not talking about the season of Lent leading into Easter,…
