Observing a New Birth

     I would say that the second time was a little easier on Sara at least physically (probably emotionally also).  It was quite a nice evening for my wife and me as our oldest daughter was baptized this past Sunday evening. 
     When it comes to young people and baptism (at least in our experience) it has [...]

When Forgiveness is All You Got

     One of the most horrible things imaginable was on the front page of the Windsor Star this morning: it seems a surgeon (a well respected one) failed to properly read the pathology report concerning a woman she was about to operate on and removed a breast that she didn’t need to.
     Now, this isn’t [...]

What was Farrah?

There is a lot of talk about Michael Jackson’s untimely death that the news seems to forget (though it is hard to overlook the one for the other) that another major star died tragically at the age of 62.
But, what was Farrah?
Was she a sex symbol?  A serious actress (she portrayed marvelously a character in [...]

Elie Wiesel

My friend Larry & I were among the 1000 people who attended Rochester College’s evening with the above named speaker on the subject of language and reconciliation.
This guy was aweseome to get to listen to and hear his words onthis type of subject.  Most people are familiar with him through his writings, particularly his recounting [...]

All Star Game

Did you watch any of the festivities this past week at Yankee Stadium?
I have been a Yankee fan since the early 80’s when Rickey Henderson was traded to them and said ‘it is everyone’s dream to play for the pinstripers.’
Back then, we had a dry run for quite some time even though we had some [...]

The kennel said she did really well for a puppy’s first time away and that she never really cried (even dogs don’t miss us [...]

Wonderful Story of Love

Which of the great love stories of history is your favourite?
Is it Romeo & Juliet?  Samson & Delilah?  Jacob & Rachel?  Marc Antony & Cleopatra? 
Well some of the greatest love stories always have at least one partner (sometimes both) doing something so that there needs to be later proof that it is worth hanging on [...]

Dirt, Dirt and more Dirt

We’re doing some excavating and the company came and decided to send a guy who was on his first week on the job.  All the guy had to do was level off a small piece of the back lawn.  Well, he dug too deep one side so had to dig the other which he also [...]

You Don’t Have Boogers

    My three year old revealed this to me in the van this morning!  She looked at me thought she could identify this one truth about me: ‘You don’t have any boogers, you have hair in your nose!’
     Talk about giving a guy a compliment!  Sadly the truth is I have both!  I wish I [...]

Does God Move in Mysterious Ways?

You ever wonder if the above is true?
Most Christians have no doubts that God moves in mysterious ways but at times the way they explain it is just that–it is a mystery that we never see! 
Sometimes I think God has moved in profound ways when you look back and see how things come together for [...]
