Must Be Monday
My dreams are that vivid. Some mornings I wake up tired because of all the activity I have been dreaming about. I’m not sure what can be done about it though. The only way I know of to avoid dreaming is not to sleep. I think that would make me tired too.
Another Munster Visit
It is one of those iconic churches, a huge draw for tourists in downtown Freiburg. I hadn’t planned on going inside, but the organ music drew me in. The Munster is a dark place – you really shouid visit it on a sunny day. I don’t think i have ever managed that, but this particular […]
Really?
It isn’t that many years ago that we looked to the best and brightest of our society to lead us, men and women of integrity with a passion to serve. How did we get to this?
Getting Older With The Lions
On this Flashback Friday we revisit September 27, 2014, with thoughts that started more than 30 years before that. In some ways our visit to London this summer was a write-off. It was the last day before our flight home, and I had planned to take in a few sights, it having been a long […]
Today is Thursday, Right?
I knew I was supposed to do a blog post today, but didn’t get around to it.
The End of Summer
The vernal equinox was Sunday, and for Justin Trudeau the end of summer couldn’t come too soon. Canada’s Prime Minister had a horrible summer, but doesn’t seem to understand why. As Parliament rose for its summer break the Liberals lost a stronghold Toronto riding in a by-election, one that had been held by retiring former […]
A New Car!
I’ve been thinking it was about time to at least think about replacing my vehicle. After all, it is more than a decade old. Canadian winters, with lots of salt on the road, can be hard to endure without rusting out. So imagine my delight to get an email telling me I had won a […]
Feel Free To Laugh
Yes, I know it isn’t theologically accurate – but I still thought it was funny. Also more appropriate than the rant I was going to post today. You’ll have to wait for that one. Actually that post is from early 2017 – I didn’t have a rant planned for today. I did have some astute […]
Welcome To The Planet
A photo essay today. I saw Switchfoot in concert Friday night, and once again was struck by their message of hope in a chaotic word, and the sheer joy they seem to have in performing. I don’t remember the first time I saw them in concert, I think it was shortly after they released their […]
The Constant Battle
Once again I have no idea where I saw this, I downloaded it a couple of months ago. It struck me as particularly apt for our times. One of the drawbacks to having the world at our fingertips is information overload. It is probably a good idea to unplug on a regular basis, even if […]
