Are You RIGHT or Are You WRONG?
Have you ever been absolutely right about something? I mean, a b s o l u t e l y right! Even though the sun is shining, you carry an umbrella because you just know it’s going to rain. And you’re right, it rains! But what about those days or moments when things seem to unravel, when things become worse than having a bad hair day, when being right doesn’t happen! I felt like that a few weeks ago after a good workout at the gym. I had said goodbye to my friend and turned to open my locker,...

The Hiding-place
As a blogger, I have tried to honour your time with a meaningful interruption in your day. So, please allow me to bend your ear once again on a word that is front and centre in my life these days.

Read MoreThought-Provoking One-Liners
Sometimes when you watch a movie, listen to a conversation between two people, or sit under the teaching of godly men (as I have done this summer), one-liners often jump out at you that are thought-provoking, often inspiring. And often applicable to where you might be on your life’s journey. For example, I heard this statement in a movie recently: “Each of us needs a good friend to show us the best part of who we are.

On July 1st my husband and I celebrated Canada’s 150th birthday at Muskoka Bible Centre on Mary Lake near Huntsville, Ontario. We decorated our friends’ golf cart and participated in a long parade with dozens of other enthusiasts. ‘Red and white’ was the colour of the day, unless, of course, you were a Toronto Maple Leaf fan and ‘blue’ dominated. (It made me think of the Sesame Street song: “One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn’t...
