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 [...]

Tonight on the CBC, there was a showing of the 90th Birthday celebration concert of one of the great heroes of the 20th century–Nelsen Mandela.
He was my first exposure to civil rights and the heroics of people who walked the walk!  Men like Mandela, Ghandi, Martin Luther King jr., Rabin and others who have inspired so [...]

Went down to the river last night with Sara and the three girls and with our friends Larry & Holli and their four kids.  We did a lot of rides–Larry, Syd and myself went on a new one (the one that goes in a complete circle and you’re hanging upside down a few times) and [...]

Well, today I took my dog in to make sure that I’ll never have to worry about taking care of 6,7 or however many dogs later on.  She was so nervous at the doctors office and she curled up right on my lap and just stared me right in the eyes and was begging me [...]

This is not a marriage blog!
We have been looking at the topic in Sunday morning Bible Classes on the topic of who is my brother and when does a difference become a salvation issue!
This is really difficult for religious people who take the Bible seriously as God’s intended word for us and guideline for the church.  The [...]

Sorry my loyal readers for being away from this blog so long!  (I know the two of you were probably wondering what happened?)
Well my mother-in-law became quite ill last week and so there was alot of driving, appointments and switching off duties between my wife, my sister-in-law and myself.  So, glad to say she is [...]
