--> I was following a car the other day when the driver threw garbage out the window. Hello! Now maybe I’m a little sensitive after having spent last Saturday morning picking garbage out of the ditch, but really, come on. The last time I checked, littering was still considered rude and slightly obnoxious. Not to…
Layers of Minions
Layers of Minions As Sir Hiss was to Prince John and as Donkey was to Shrek, so Timothy is to Paul. Sounds like a question on a game show. What is “Henchman?” Hiss was a Henchman, Donkey was a side-kick and Timothy was a protégé but they were all Minions. And remember how the Oxford…
It’s just not right!
It is just a “U”, but it is the difference between something being right and something being wrong. Perhaps you know what I’m talking about; It’s the “U” that our neighbours to the south neglect to include in words like harbour, colour and saviour. Which is fine if you live south of the 49th, but…
Minions by the Bunch
When you hear the word “Minion” what do you think of? For some, you think of little yellow people in blue pants. For others, you have your own favorite minions from years past.

You might recall that one of the planks in Donald Trump’s election was to re-visit NAFTA to ensure that Americans were being treated fairly when it came to cross border commerce. And it seems that’s one promise he’s set to deliver on.Last…
Taking the My out of Money: The Big Things
Two weeks ago I spoke about the little things, the minutia, the details. In that case it was the details that would have been involved in supporting Jesus and his disciples. And I looked at Luke 8:1-3. In particular the verse that said Luke 8:2-3 Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast…
Live Forever
Have you heard about the research venture called “The Methuselah Project”? Those of you with a grasp of the Old Testament have probably made the leap already. The Methuselah Project is looking into ways that we can stop or maybe even reverse the aging process. As I read about medical advances and genomes, the benefit…
Rediscover Easter
