It Takes a Thief

He has been touted as the Robin Hood of McNuggets and across the Internet people have lauded him as a hero of the people.  But the proper term for him is a thief. Recently, Cody Bondarchuk, of Edmonton tweeted, “I worked at McDonald’s for two-and-a-half years and I put 11 nuggets in almost every 10-piece…

Surrender Your Thoughts

Next week is December 1st, the first Sunday of Advent and that means that today is the last Sunday in our Surrender Series.   And over the past few weeks I’ve been mulling over where I would land for this last message. Since Thanksgiving we’ve looked at various areas of our lives that we need to…

Surrender Your Bitterness

She has met with leaders and celebrities around the world and whether or not you agree with her views you have to admit that Greta Thunberg is an angry young lady.  And when i hear her speak, I kind of suspect that she is not only angry but bitter as well. Her speeches are scattered…

Give Thanks

I trust that all of us will take time on Tuesday to stop and reflect on the blessings we have in our wonderful nation.

Autumn Colours

Angela and I were marvelling at the Autumn colours earlier this week as we were driving back from shopping. The trees were a kaleidoscope of colours, no two the same. It wasn’t hard to imagine Jack Frost painting each leaf individually. One of the many things we missed during our time in Australia were the…

Surrender Your Speech

Last week I told you about the best summer job I ever had, and it was working on a ocean going salvage tugboat that went to the North Pole in 1981. But I had my first summer job at sea when I was fifteen and for the first two summers of my high school years…

Shameful

Well, the election is over.  For some of you the results were cause for celebration, for other’s not so much. I always marvel at the number of people who choose to not cast a ballot.  And if you fall in that category it is shameful and inexcusable. People say, “But Denn you don’t understand, I…
