Intentionality: A Two-Way Victory

It’s hard to believe that January has already come to an end and I can’t help wondering…How many individuals have already “come to an end” with their month-old New Year’s Resolutions? I also can’t help wondering…Why? Is it due to procrastination? Laziness? Has a person simply lost interest? Or is it from setting too high an expectation? Rather than face failure, perhaps it’s easier to simply ignore what has become self-inflicted misery. Either way, I refuse to...

For Unto Us a Son is Given

Throughout the year—and especially at Christmas—I love to listen to Bethlehem, Galilee, Gethsemane. A powerful song! And no one better than Russ Taff to sing it! Earlier this month I was reminded of that song through a portion of When God Whispers Your Name by Max Lucado and I’d like to share this quote and the song as my Christmas gift to you! Be blessed! If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have...

Dogs, a Cat…and a Swan?

During my childhood years and beyond—before leaving home and marrying Doug—I had three dogs: two well-mannered and placid Cocker Spaniels, Susie and Susie II, and Rex, a determined, high-spirited Cockapoo who defied gravity and continually jumped our fence for the grass that was always greener on the other side. Fortunately I married a dog-lover (I knew that the day Doug won me a stuffed poodle at the CNE when I was sixteen!). So it was no surprise that just a few weeks after purchasing our...

Expectations vs Reality

Sometimes words keep circling in my head like a revolving door and, more often than not, I’m unable to ignore them. Expectations is one of those words. In checking the dictionary, I discovered that some words linked to expect and it’s derivative are: hopes, desires, trust, anticipation…leaving me with the thought that when we expect something, it’s usually with a positive attitude, expecting positive results: Being able to get up in the morning to face another day. Having food in...

July Thoughts

This past month has found me submerged in the beauty and peaceful surroundings at our trailer at Muskoka Bible Centre. While here, I’ve been privileged to sit under the teaching of some godly men and to enjoy some great books. It’s impossible to summarize all that I’ve learned, but I’d like to offer a window into this world of knowledge, encouragement and passionate reminders with which I’ve been blessed…and yes, convicted of on many accounts! I am not the inventor of the...

I’ll Hold His Hand…and Fly.

I’ll Hold His Hand…and Fly.

For some unexplainable—and to some, maybe nonsensical— reason, I’m held spellbound by Canada Geese. I run to the window or stand on our balcony looking in awe when the honking flock flies overhead. I have a six-plate collectors set, Wings Upon the Wind I bought back in the 80s that commemorates their life cycle. And, I remember standing on Daytona Beach in 1978 pointing to several perfect V formations, shouting, “Look! They’re going home!” My friend’s response was...
