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?
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 […]
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 […]
Just A Thought
I don’t remember where I saw this online. I just downloaded and saved it for another day. Which it turns out is today. I’m not quite sure if this quote always reflects today’s North American society, but some days it sure feels like it.
And in the news…
It takes a lot to make me chortle. Whoever created this meme accomplished that. I used to play this band on the radio back in the early 80s, and hadn’t realized they were still together (or back together). A quick fact check told me that indeed they were on the road this summer, a three-week […]
The Word
When I was a teenager I used to carry a Bible in my back pocket. It was great to have it available to read at a moment’s notice. It was the King James Translation. Back then it was the only full Bible available in the appropriate size, and I wanted more than just a New […]
Times Are Changing
When I see something at half price, I figure the store is having difficulty selling whatever it is. Too many in stock, not enough demand. Does this mean the COVID-19 pandemic is officially over? I’m a little surprised that face masks would be marked down so drastically. Remember 2020? It wasn’t all that long ago. […]
Culture War Flashback
On Fridays in 2024 we are revisiting posts from the same date in the early years of this blog. I had forgotten this one from September 13, 2015. The case was huge on Twitter and Facebook. Depending on your slant, either a Christian was jailed for her faith or a scoff-law was put in her […]
Think About It
If you have a smart phone in your pocket or purse, you are carrying more computing power than the United States used to put a man on the moon. Times have changed. What are you doing with all that power?
Remembering The Dead
On this Flashback Friday we go back to a post from September 6, 2014. At the time I visited this German war cemetery I never dreamed that three years later I would be living in Germany. It is a solemn place and a stark reminder that there were no winners in the First World War. […]
