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 […]
Yes, I know it isn’t theologically accurate – but I still thought it was funny. Also more appropriate than the rant I was going to post today. You’ll have to wait for that one. Actually that post is from early 2017 – I didn’t have a rant planned for today. I did have some astute […]
A photo essay today. I saw Switchfoot in concert Friday night, and once again was struck by their message of hope in a chaotic word, and the sheer joy they seem to have in performing. I don’t remember the first time I saw them in concert, I think it was shortly after they released their […]
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 […]
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.

Of course, back in 1769, when the Duke of Wellington was born, Dublin, and all of Ireland was firmly British, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
