Imagine your neighbor’s house caught fire. How would you respond? You would knock on the door to make sure everyone had gotten out okay, then you would step aside to let the firefighters do their thing. Right? Let the experts put out the fire. If it was a big blaze you’d probably see more than […]
Sometimes you see things in a new light. Like this wall, rather washed out in the sunshine. I was heading back into Sulzburg after walking in the vineyards at the edge of town. There are a number of possible routes, and I have taken this one before. Fifty times. Maybe a hundred. But I never […]
“Stay at home! This means you!” How many times have you heard those words from politicians in the past month? Self isolation, social distancing, no unnecessary travel. No exceptions. Except it turns out there are. In Canada anyway. The Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition don’t think the rules that apply to others […]
I’ve posted these before. I still find them funny. These days we all can use a little humor. Admit it – at least one of those made you smile. You are welcome. We now return to our regularly scheduled world crisis.
There are no sporting events, no cinemas, most stores are closed, you can’t have people over because gatherings of more than two are forbidden. Everyone is working from home, and no-one really knows what day it is.
I’ll admit I laughed when I first saw this one on social media. Then I looked it up to see if it was real. They do things differently in the Canadian north. This is for illustration only – please note the fine print.
Today is a day of celebration. Forget the pandemic and dance with joy – today is Easter! I was looking for an Easter graphic to use in a different publication when I came across this post from Easter Sunday 2015. A lot has changed in my life and in the world in the past five […]
This post first ran in 2016. Today seems like a good time to repeat it. I did add a word – ca o figure out which one? This is the in-between day. Yesterday was Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter. Sorrow will be turned into laughter. Mourning into joy. They didn’t know that in 29 A.D. […]
It feels strange not to be going to church today. Meeting virtually, though necessary, won’t be the same. It is a day of hope mixed with sorrow. The joy of Easter was an unknown on that first Good Friday. Rather than provide a reflection on the day like I usually do, here’s a post from […]
It is an iconic painting, Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. You have probably seen it depicted hundreds of times. Today is Maundy Thursday, the day Christians remember the last meal Jesus had before his death, a seder meal as he celebrated Passover with his disciples. Leonardo’s painting celebrates that event, though I have always wondered […]
