Monday’s Words Of Wisdom
I have no idea where I got this one. I really need to pay more attention when I see these things online. That way at least I can give credit where credit is due. If I was more computer literate I’d fix the grammatical error, but that sort of skill is beyond me.
The Queen’s Message
I could do without the music before and after her annual Christmas message (she starts talking just before the two minute mark) , but I really like what Her Majesty had to say this year. I’ve linked to a version with subtitles if you have difficulty with British English. People sometimes forget that one of […]
Christ Is Risen – Merry Christmas
I’m not confused. I know it is Christmas – but the day would have no meaning if not for Easter. The baby in a manger celebrated in song and image was the beginning, but it was the planned ending that was important. Without the death and resurrection it might as well have been Frosty the […]
Peace On Earth
This is one of my favourite Christmas songs of the 21st century so far. It has a hymn-like quality to it and a nice balance between the now and the not yet. Kind of appropriate somehow for Christmas Eve. Heaven on earth We need it now I’m sick of all of this Hanging around Sick […]
The Force Awakens
This was supposed to run on Monday, but for some reason the software never posted it. I hope it works this time. If you haven’t seen the new Star Wars epic yet don’t worry, I’m not going to give away ay plot details today. Except for the part where Spock dies. Oh, wait, wrong science […]
Random Thoughts For Advent
It is the last Sunday of the Advent season. Christmas is this Friday. The lack of snow and unseasonably warm temperatures are making it easier for me to filter out the distractions of the season. It doesn’t feel like Christmas. Local golf courses will be open on Dec. 25th, for the first time ever. The […]
An Advent Reflection
He looked round again and could hardly believe his eyes. There was the blue sky overhead, and grassy country spreading as far as he could see in every direction, and his new friends all round him, laughing. “It seems, then,” said Tirian, smiling himself, “that the Stable seen from within and the Stable seen from […]
I apologize in advance for this…
…but I couldn’t think of anything more appropriate for the third Sunday in Advent! And if you don’t get it, try reading this and this.

It is that time of year. Has been for a month if you frequent shopping malls. Christmas and seasonal music is everywhere. I’m not a big fan of songs about Santa and Rudolf. I don’t care who Mommy kissed or that Grandma got run over. Give me traditional carols that tell the Christmas story in […]
Entering The Season
Yesterday was the first Sunday in Advent. My wife insists that is when we have to put up the Christmas tree. To me that seems very early. She says December is a busy time, and if we put it off it won’t get done. I agree in theory, but somehow I don’t think we would […]
