Taking The Time
The leaves are beginning to change color, a sure sign that Autumn is upon us. I took some time yesterday to reflect. I joined with some friends at the Bethesda Renewal Centre in Ashton, Ontario, to get caught up on each others’ lives. The same group of people has been meeting twice yearly (or more […]
Nap Time!
It may be theologically questionable, but a pastor friend of mine posted this so I’m inclined to accept it as authoritative. Problem is, I have great difficulty napping during daylight hours, no matter how tired I am. Please take a nap for me.
What Would You Do?
When is something unforgivable? I’ve been pondering that in the wake of Canada’s latest political scandal. If you haven’t been following it, here’s a capsule: After an address to the House of Commons by the President of Ukraine on Friday, the Speaker introduced a visitor who was watching the proceedings, a constituent who had fought […]
About Those Rewards…
For the third time in as many months I have been accused of disloyalty. I’d feel insulted if it wasn’t true. I received an email from McDonald’s telling me that the reward points I had accumulated in their app are about to expire and I need to use them or lose them. I expect I […]

A Big Gamble
Justin Trudeau has staked his political future on the death of one citizen. Canada’s Prime Minister has accused India’s government of being behind the murder of a Sikh activist on Canadian soil. Trailing in the polls, Trudeau needs a win, amd he is gambling that his strong words about the alleged actions of the Government […]
How Frustrating!
Do you play word games? Do you usually solve them? The past couple of years I have done Wordle almost daily. My daughter first discovered it and soon the game became a matter of friendly family competition to see which of us was better at solving the daily puzzle. (For the record, we usually took […]
Wait A Minute…
It looked convincing enough that I considered clicking on the link. Instead I decided to change my password, just in case. Phishing schemes are looking more and more authentic these days. When Apple sent me a notice that someone had logged into my iCloud account from an unrecognized device it looked very real. The email […]
