Doug safely made it to Toronto last night on his way to North Carolina. He’s flying back through Toronto on Friday a.m. and should be at the parsonage by noon. I’ve got lots of partying planned for his weekend so he can get to know all the folks I know.
The next seven + [...]

A couple of my dear readers and commentators have recently accused (innocent until proven guilty – okay, I’m guilty – see Mary & Jennifer, I can confess my transgressions!). Now I think plagerism is such an ugly word, and professors at university drill the evils of plagerism into our minds and we know there [...]

Have you ever thought, “Four years of seminary education on top of a four-year undergraduate degree is an awful lot of training time to prepare a person for leadership in ministry?” We have a solution to this dilemma! Based on the phenomena of “Rock Band” and “Guitar Hero” we are pleased to introduce [...]

Okay ….. I’ve got another “Ontarioism”. Last night I heard Pastor Sheilah say, “… on the May 2-4 weekend.” I have never heard the “2-4” phrase before. I’ve heard the third weekend in May called many different things: Victoria Day weekend, May long weekend, May 24th long weekend, but never the [...]

PJ needs someone with a laser pointer to come and visit her! She has too much energy in the predator department and my hand is the worse for wear!

I had a wonderful ‘Golem’ day. Jennifer (you know her from her comments on this blog) was our guest preacher today. Jennifer works for Leprosy Canada (www.leprosy.ca – check it out) and she spoke powerfully about the effects this bacteria has on the body. For only $350 a person with leprosy can [...]

Where in the world did the phrase “you’re such a pansy” come from?? I recently referenced myself becoming ’soft’ on these moderate (-5 but a ‘damp cold’) temperatures in Ontario. I said I was becoming a ‘pansy.’ I used this word to make the Golem women crazy (which of course it worked [...]

John & Liz, who are going to adopted PJ, are wrapped around PJ’s paws! They looked after PJ while I was gone. When I arrived at their home for the prayer group meeting today, PJ was busy chasing the laser pointer “dot.” I thought I would be patient and ‘wait’ for PJ [...]

Wednesday was a tough day. I cried on the phone with Doug and he came home. I wanted to return to Ontario, but leaving home…leaving Doug just keeps getting tougher. I had already sobbed on Emily’s shoulder the night before as she reassured me 3.5 months wasn’t going to be such a [...]

As Doug and I drove to Calgary last Friday to visit Rhett & Leah, I again had the opportunity to marvel at how flat southern SK really is and how I can see the beauty in this seemingly ‘nothingness’. I have to admit that I fall asleep almost automatically when I’m a passenger in [...]
