I’m sad that the storm caused us to cancel our bringing a worship service to three nursing homes in Chesley, which is about 20 minutes from the parsonage. It was going to be a real group affair. Liz plays the piano, John was going to assist and sing, Pastor Sheilah was going to [...]

We are having a horrible storm this morning. Every road in the Grey and Bruce Counties are officially closed. This means if you are travelling you have no insurance and you have no police out on the roads looking for accidents. Usually the school systems says that schools are open, but buses [...]

Doug made a comment under “Snow Ledge” where he states that he’s not intending to be sexist, but he is sure it will “awaken the sisterhood” (as if that isn’t a sexist remark in the first place!). Men … I’m calling on you to provide some advice and guidance to Douglas. Women…I’m an [...]

It is with not too much sorrow that I announce the demise of the snow ledge. The overnight combination of +5 degree temperature and some rain caused the snow ledge to slip away quietly during the night. (I wanted to say I was awoken by the thunderous roar of an avalanche, but Mary [...]

Do you remember the classic film from superstar Sylvester Stallone called “Cliffhanger”? (Can’t wait to see the newest Rambo movie, but Mary won’t see it with me ……. but Gerald thought it was a good idea….maybe we can talk her into it.) Remember all the snow ledges that they had to walk along [...]

February 2nd is coming up and I think we should all plan a caravan trip to see Wiarton Willie! I have to go! You see … Emily was born on Ground Hog Day (my baby will be 21 this year!) and I can’t possible live this close and not celebrate the event.
The Prediction [...]

Jennifer used this phrase, ‘charm card’ which I hadn’t previously heard, in a recent post. She was suggesting that John had managed to hide his true character from me. She suggested that he’d been playing the ‘charm card’ for the five months that I’ve been here, but that he couldn’t keep up the [...]

I was invited by the Chesley & Area Ministerial (a pastors & lay assistants group who meet monthly to share ideas & support each other in ministry) to write an article for the “Clergy Column” in the weekly Hanover Post. Below is what I wrote for the January 18th issue. I hope these [...]

I’m posting my January 13th sermon, but I’m not sure that the written word will be a very effective means to share the intent of the sermon. Part way through I work through the Isaiah passage by identifying different people who were sitting in church that morning and suggesting that means of service is [...]
