He stood there staring up at the sky, he still couldn't believe his eyes, and it was as if he was seeing the sky for the first time. In a way he was, even if it was the same old sky that he'd always looked at it, he was seeing it through a whole new…
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It's here, it's here! That time of the year that we all look forward to. The time of the year that we realize how lucky we are to live in this wonderful country and we can take the time to reflect on how blessed we are. That's right... it's "Tax Time"! What did you think…
Tear Up the Roof
As they moved closer to the crowd their hopes begin to sink, what they thought would be a fairly simple task had taken on monumental proportions. When the suggestion came up to take their lame friend to Jesus everyone thought it was a great idea, all they had to do to get their friend to…
The Game
Quite the game, eh? And if you have to ask what game, you have obviously been living on a different planet over the past couple of weeks. And at the end of the game, the Canadians celebrated, the Americans were disappointed and the Russians whined. Oh well. I read the other day, that the game…

The Blame Game
Oh, stop it already. I was reading my online news the other day and couldn't get over the number of times the word "blamed" was used. A sixty-year-old schoolteacher, who stabbed a man in the throat, blamed the attack on stress he suffered from high school students making fun of his last name. A truck…
Leaving Childish Things Behind
Can you remember being a kid? Can you remember the thrill of each new morning and the wonder of each new day? Can you remember when a week seemed like an eternity, and it was a lifetime between Christmases? Can you remember nursery rhymes and fairy tales, and thinking that all stories had a happy…
What Would Jesus say to Stephen Harper
I discovered as a teenager that if I wanted to begin a conversation with my father I only had to bring up politics, he has very definite views on the subject and isn't afraid to share them. So if the conversation was turning toward subjects that I didn't want to discuss like perhaps my behaviour…
