I did something over the weekend that I thought I would never do in a million years. I went to my 30th High School Reunion. Reunions are scary—we feel that we will be judged according to what we have accomplished or attained since we last saw these people. The most confident among us will suddenly Read more

Some are only content to seek God within the walls of a church building where the sunlight filters through the stained glass. Some say they don’t need to go the church, they are closer to God sitting in a golf cart or fishing boat than they are in a pew. Everyone has their opinion, but Read more

I don’t like mushrooms … those fungus-like things found growing in places you wouldn’t normally cultivate food. While sitting in the orthodondist’s waiting room, I discovered an article on the nutritional merits of mushrooms and it said they have the highest concentration of vitamin D of any fruit or vegetable.

I am facing a conundrum that has completely worn me out by trying to figure out the solution: I live with two men who can not communicate. Despite the fact that English is their first language and they are able to communicate with everyone else, the minute they try to discuss a problem with each Read more

Ernest Hemingway wrote a complete story in just six words. “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Those few words stir up all kinds of thoughts and emotions; the sorrow of its meaning, the curiosity to know the full story, and the admiration of the author’s sheer genius. It’s a simple message with astounding impact. A Read more

“I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work.” God’s Decree. “For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the Read more

We’ve all run into them, in the streets, in our homes and in our churches … we may even be one. I’m talking about the poor listeners. I admit there have been times when the person speaking starts to sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher. When that happens, I find myself pulling my focus back from my Read more

Congratulations, you’ve made it to 2012. If you are like me, you are probably a few pounds heavier than you were in 2011. I don’t think I have to explain to you why that is, especially if your home was the one to host the last Christmas dinner of the season. You know, the dinner Read more

There’s an old Irish proverb I like that says, “You can’t plow a field by turning it over in your mind.” I liked it a lot more until I realized that I haven’t been doing as much plowing as I should be. It seems that I’m busy, but not very productive. I spend a lot Read more

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. —1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) Our church sings the Canadian national anthem on two occasions every year. The first is on the closest Sunday to Canada Day; the second the closest Sunday to Remembrance Day. Like most Canadian children, I have sung Read more
