I began by playing “the Bricklayers disaster” Video Boy, you gotta hate that. Maybe his name was Job, or Job Murphy, cause it seemed that anything that could go wrong did go wrong. You might recall the story from the Old Testament book that bears the name of Job. If you have your bible with…
Let the Sun Shine
Well, Cornerstone is producing electricity. Our 11 KW array is now connected to the “grid” and any excess power that is produced in the run of a day is sold back to Nova Scotia Power. And that is cool and confusing. I kind of understand how power is generated, in particular from turbines, you know:…
Who Says it’s Right? Story of the Book # 3
“Who Says it's right?” Judges 17:6 Begin with reading from “Through the Looking Glass” “What a beautiful belt you've got on!” Alice suddenly remarked. (They had had quite enough of the subject of age, she thought: and if they really were to take turns in choosing subjects, it was her turn now.) “At least,” she…
Who says it’s 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…
Why Rules? Story of the Book # 2
Rules, anyone here into rules? You know laws, decrees, regulations, whatever it is that you want to call them. If you are here’s the good news the book of Leviticus is full of rules, aren’t you lucky? As a matter of fact rules is just about all Leviticus is about. There is really no story…
Genesis to Revelation in 23 Minutes, or So. Story of the Book #1
This book contains 6000 years of recorded history. It tells the stories of the Jewish people, of the Messiah Jesus and of the early church. It contains intrigue and romance, love and betrayal. It’s made up of flowing poetry, gripping prose and soaring apocalyptical prophecies. It’s not just one book it’s a collection of many…
Words to live by. . . Or not.
Recently I have found myself immersed in a book of wisdom. I’m sure Angela is growing tired of my constant interruptions as I regale her with yet another new discovery. As I read I am constantly thinking:” Wow!” “Amazing” & ”I didn’t know that.” Stories of great achievements by folks with obscure names and stories…
Well, that makes sense.
I was getting ready for church last week when I noticed how grey my hair had become. As I wondered how that could possibly have happened without me noticing, I remembered something I was told almost thirty years ago. Roy Corey, a member of the Truro Church, told me how he had discovered his eyesight…
Huh?
I’m confused, again. When Bruce Jenner decided that he wasn’t the gender that he had been born and decided to change how he had been created he was lauded as a hero. When Rachel Dolezal decided that she wasn’t the race that she had been born and decided to change it she was denounced as…
Love Wins!
Most folks have heard about the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. If you missed it, last Wednesday during a prayer meeting 21 year old Dylan Roof opened fire killing nine, including the pastor of the church. Roof has said that his motivation was to start a race war in…
