Monday, March 25, 2013. What lies ahead . Saturday ended early with me crawling into bed long before my normal time . then Sunday began just as the sun was rising over the horizon and was another scurry of activity and busy-ness . prep for worship, breakfast and out the door for our Palm Sunday Communion services followed too closely by the third and final game for Ms H's team . It's THAT simple . Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Dare to Dream . Ms H and her circle of friends have been a big part of the creati...

Wednesday, May 07, 2014. I haven't blogged much lately . I haven't really done much lately beyond work. Between full time hours in ministry, and more than full time hours at the coffee shop and everything else I cram in my days, I find very little time for things like blogging . I suppose I can still do that, but it is harder with so many demands upon my time, and so few things that truly bring me a sense of enjoyment and release . I look back through this blog and laugh and weep at the path I've trod &#...

Wednesday, April 24, 2013. They rush in where angels may fear to tread . My colleague/friend and former class mate Rev. Audrey offered a reflection this morning on her blog ' Am I The Rev in black? I still remember a 'good' church member in Manitoba telling me after the shooting of four RCMP officers in Alberta, that "you really need to get over it, it was a long time ago that your dad died .". We can make fun of our police, fire and EMTs, and poke fun at the stereotypes that they often embody - but at t...

Monday, October 27, 2014. Sermon from October 26th 2014 - Choosing Love over Fear . Happenings in those cities were indeed tragic … the death of the two soldiers in random acts of violence were horrible and troubling … but … wrapping everything in a patriotic flag and painting these happenings as proof of the danger of radicalized Islam fails to grasp the many nuances at play in these events …. In the context of preaching a message of peace King went on to note of love:. Then the Greek language talks abo...

Sunday, January 11, 2015. The still small voice whispers . it is perhaps time to listen . Today I stepped back into familiar and for me, comfortable territory for the first time in a very very very long time . I've long felt my calling in ministry has been to the prophetic side of the church. Other concerns had broken in and pushed it to the sidelines . my focus has been so much on the issues facing my family in the last four years, the Coffee Shop, and countless other issues . I still visited th...Over ...

Monday, February 03, 2014. My so-called life . Despite the inherent futility of clearing snow (you know you'll be doing it again soon! There is something deeply rewarding about pulling out of a driveway and looking back at the crisp clean sides and clear space where the had previously been snow banks and drifts! It is also kind of fun . This picture though, and this whole winter has been a vivid reminder of the core values I try to hold to. I value my family and my friends. I love my children. My so-call...

Thursday, January 24, 2013. My two cents . On the eve of the final demise of the Canadian Penny, I can't help but share my 'two cents' pictured above. They are not special nor are they remarkable. They are just two little pennies that I found in September while we were getting mom's house ready for the Auction sale that cleaned out the final items in the house. I can hear my mother saying "What are you doing? Highland Grounds will have an echo of Chipperfield Coffee Company in Minnedosa and Forbidden Fla...
