There have been two times in my life where I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. The first was in 1963 I was in our High School auditorium listening to a US high school band that had been invited to play at the school. The principle came on the stage, […]

Getting along with the Boss
I could not wait for the day I turned 16, to get my drivers license. It meant freedom and liberation from the rules and confinement of home. Mom had told me to take the car and go to school after the test. I had taken a friend with me as I had what was then […]
Is your glass half empty or half full
I emigrated to Canada at an early age and it brought with it many challenges, socially, culturally and emotionally. God has an important bearing on our emotional life. None of us lives with the facts of our lives. We live with a story we tell ourselves about those facts. Our memories come from these stories. […]
Entering the Kingdom
When we came to Canada, my Mom made a huge sacrifice for me in leaving her parents and brother behind, so I could have a better life here.I remember it as clearly today as the day we left waving goodbye from the cab window to my Grandmother and Grandfather, and my little dog Bruce.She was […]

Or maybe your compartmentalizing is temporal instead of spatial in your thinking. During the workday you do what you must, this evening you’ll do what you love and have some fun, […]
What is Truth
Over the years my wife and I have tried to guide people to the truth of the gospel message. Some have said “Yes Lord” even on their death bed. Men and Woman have sought the truth and meaning of life since time began. Even Pilot sought the truth, “What have you done?” he asks when […]
Moving ON
“I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” For many of us the hour of departure has arrived, eternity rises in the distance and yet Jesus’ words ringing in our ear. Time drawing […]
