What is with the weather? One day, it’s beautiful, sunny and warm and just a few days later, it’s snowing, cold and miserable. Didn’t Old Man Winter get the memo? He isn’t supposed to be here for another six weeks. I have discovered in my travels that all over the world, the weather is the…
What about the Duck?
But what about the duck? That was the question I asked last week when someone posted the story about the hunting dog that was taken by a shark off the coast of Nova Scotia. There were all kinds of discussions and comments about the dog, which was killed by the shark while retrieving a duck its…
Therefore, Hebrews 12
Part of my misspent youth was spent hanging around Racehorses and those who bet on horse races. I’ve mentioned before that my sister and I both had horses when we were teenagers, and when we lived in Hammond River, just outside of Saint John, New Brunswick, we boarded them at a farm that provided stabling…
More Power to You
I had heard about range anxiety, but I had never experienced it. But that was before last Saturday. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to drive a brand-new EV (Electric Vehicle), and it was a beautiful car. The only issue was that it had a 400 km range when it was fully charged, and I…
What’s in a Colour?
It seemed like a no-brainer, something everyone should be able to agree on. But then again, not necessarily so when you are dealing with people. The question is simple: Is a tennis ball green, yellow or some other colour? Simple, right? Everybody knows the answer is green. Or maybe not. In one survey, when 30,000…
Therefore: Galatians 6:10
It’s one of those things that preachers say. It is kind of like, “After the but comes the truth,” or “I’m almost finished.” I’m pretty sure if you’ve been in church for any length of time that you’ve heard this particular phrase, perhaps you’ve even said it yourself from time to time, and it is…
Radical Generosity
Here’s something you probably won’t hear in the news. Last week, Churches of all stripes and denominations came together to love on the Atlantic Provinces. There were Wesleyans, Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics, and everything in between.The collective efforts of these churches represented hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours. Coffee was poured, schools…
Cast the first Stone
Is there anything in your past you’d rather remain in your past? Were there things you did or said as an 18-year-old that don’t necessarily reflect who you are today?There are any number of things I said and did as a teenager that aren’t indicative of my character today. At least, I hope they aren’t.…
Lessons from the High Places
Have you ever been high? I mean, really high. I have, and I have discovered that it adds a certain clarity to your vision. There is very little like the experience of standing high above the crowd and being able to see for miles. What did you think I meant? I was an army brat,…
Don’t Quit
It was so cool. Angela and I won tickets to see Boney M in concert in December. We were delivering a meal to a church family on Friday, and we had the radio on when they announced the contest. All we had to do was wait for the next Boney M song to be played…
