After a busy work day I was looking forward to checking my emails. I was so excited to read what Doug had to say when the subject header read as follows: It’s a wonderful day in the neighbourhood!!
I know Doug well enough to know that he doesn’t use double exclamation marks and [...]
OK – the two don’t go together, but it caught your interest. On Friday night I attended my first Fish Fry. They are very popular down here. The Parish organized it to raise funds for the parsonage repairs (in preparation for the arrival of a new pastor). The white fish was [...]
The following sermon is based on the lectionary texts: Acts 17:22-31 and John 14:15-21
Today, ….we ……along with all Canadians are celebrating National Volunteer Week. We would like to think that we always remember to say ‘thank you’ for the selfless giving of peoples’ time and resources. But today we set aside time [...]

I was invited to preach at two different congregations yesterday. They had specifically asked that I come and share my faith story. Certain women had heard me give my testimony at an ELW convention last October and they had encouraged their pastor to invite me.
Although I ‘know’ my faith story I was a [...]
With the weather being incredibly beautiful down here, and seeing all the tulips & daffodils coming up … I miss my backyard. I’m glad that Judy had a wonderful afternoon planned for me.
First, she arrives with a jug of ‘dark’ maple syrup. You might remember from my maple syrup posting that [...]
As I mentioned earlier, I’m feeding the birds, squirrel & chipmunk on the sidewalk in front of the parsonage. PJ is nearly going out of her mind watching the critters from the deep window wells/seats. She lies flat, ears pressed back, tail slashing as she watches the goings on. It is a [...]
I’m sure Ontario is just as bizarre, but Saskatchewan has been having these high temperatures, into the 20’s and I believe it’s supposed to be 18 today. However, they are forecasting blowing snow and rain for the weekend!
But for me, spring is here. On Monday I packed away my turtleneck sweaters and my [...]

The local cable company has a TV show called “Faith Works.” I’m going to be interviewed for a 28 minutes segment on my faith journey. Do you think I have 28 minutes worth of talking in me? Here’s the challenge: I don’t think anyone can make fun of me on this [...]
I love to navigate. I love to tell Doug where to go … and then he goes. Well, I had a bit of a ’slip of the tongue’ on Good Friday evening.
Gerald & Mary and I went to Walters Falls for the outdoor Passion Play. I had never been to Walters Falls, [...]
I asked Gerald (my internship chair) for permission to feed the chipmunk that lives outside my dining room window. He said it was OK as long as the racoons didn’t move in. Now, I have a flock. I have a squirrel, one blue jay, a bunch of black birds, two red-wing black [...]
