Gone Painting!

No time for a lengthy post today. Spent seven hours yesterday painting the new apartment, until we ran out of paint. Back at it today, so I make no promises for a post tomorrow. Depends on whether we run out of paint again.  

No Longer Broken

Being less than perfect I really appreciated Steve Wiens book Whole. It touched a chord within my soul, so to speak. We are all broken people in one way or another. Many of us don’t want to admit it. I know I rarely do.  Steve Wiens is not only willing to admit it, he’s working […]

Signs of the Season

I don’t have a picture to show you today, much as I wanted to take one. When I’m driving on the highway it isn’t advisable to whip out the phone and take a picture of something happening at the side of the road. That is how accidents happen. Twice on the weekend though, on the […]

The Buxton Memorial

I know I must have seen this structure before on previous trips to London. It is right by Westminster and I have walked in that park on several occasions before. But I don’t remember it. Earlier this year though I took a closer look at the Buxton Memorial. It was erected to commemorate the emancipation […]

The Copyright Notice

It wasn’t a website I would have normally visited. Having seen it though, I feel an urge to discuss it. I’ve never bothered to discover what is considered proper etiquette for bloggers. When I started this project I wasn’t a regular blog reader, not even the posts from my friends, so I didn’t have much […]

Music With A Message

Sometimes a line resonates with you; it speaks to your soul. I saw Switchfoot perform earlier this year. First time I had seen them in concert since 2011. That Switchfoot show was the best live performance I saw that year, better even than U2. There was something special about the energy of the crowd and […]

Buying (Or Not Buying) A Phone

It shouldn’t be that difficult. I need a new phone. I know what type I want. I can try it out in the store. But no-one will sell me one. I figured for once in my life I was in sync with the times. I am a huge fan of BlackBerry phones and the new […]

Tracking The Bear

It has been decades since I last read a book on biblical end times prophesy. In that case it was Hal Lindsey’s The Late, Great Planet Earth, which sold millions of copies back in the early 1970s. Russia Rising, from Mark Hitchcock is the latest in what I guess can be described as genre non-fiction. […]

Time Passes So Quickly!

More than a thousand posts later the ideas keep on coming. It was August 30, three years ago today, that I began regular posts here. Today I’m going to quote some of that very first post (in italics) and add some random thoughts that have occurred to me as we have wandered together. Why did […]

Lights In The Sky

As we walked along Old Orchard Beach at night it seemed every hundred metres or so there was someone or a group of people with sky lanterns. I had never heard of such things before. My first thought was that they are a fire hazard, an accident waiting to happen. There were two reasons for […]
