The Care and Feeding of Introverts
I was cleaning up some computer files and came across the picture below. If you have any introverts in your life (and most of us do) this can be a helpful guide to keeping them happy and healthy.
A Random Post
Got caught up watching the hockey game and didn’t finish my intended post for today, so you’ll have to make do with these two images instead.
P.T. Barnum Was Right!
It seems local automotive dealers are all running the same promotion: Dealer Invoice Pricing. “You pay what we pay!” according to the banner in the window of the shop I passed yesterday. Radio and television ads trumpet the same message. A few years back the big news was that, during a slow time in the […]
My Morning Commute
I was on the bus and got annoyed. Have I ranted on this subject before? I can’t remember. I am a big fan of public transit. It is cost-effective, somewhat efficient and reasonably ecologically friendly. By choosing to live close to Ottawa’s Transitway we have avoided the need for a second vehicle. However, while I […]
C. S. Lewis on Modern Bible Translations
Originally posted on Thinking Out Loud:
It’s hard to believe this wasn’t penned yesterday. I don’t know the original date it was written, but it first appeared in the collection titled God in the Dock, and we found this excerpt in another anthology tiled The Joyful Christian. Since Lewis died in 1963, we know the…
I Dare You
I couldn’t resist – can you? If you are like me you will be left with a lot of questions. Sorry, I have no answers in this instance.

What Is News?
I ignored the news story at first. Rick Hansen’s daughter gave birth to a stillborn child. I wondered, why is that news? Canadians recognize Rick Hansen‘s name. Confined to a wheelchair after an accident when he was 15, he rolled across Canada (and 33 other countries, more than 40,000 kilometres) from 1985-87, to raise money […]
Pulling The Wool Over Our Eyes?
There are dangers everywhere, but you already knew that. The question is, do you really believe it? I am thankful for those whose job it is to keep us safe: police, firefighters, physicians, and the list goes on. I could fill the page with a list of those occupations that impact on our personal safety, […]
Rumours of Spring
It is still unseasonably cold, with temperatures running about ten degrees Celsius lower than the norms for this time of year. It may be April, but it doesn’t feel like Winter has quite decided to relax its grip upon us. But there are signs of hope. The creek in front of my house, which is […]
