Yeah … I knew that title would catch your interest! Yesterday morning I attended our church women’s breakfast gathering with Suzanne. There we 60+ women in attendance – women of all ages from grandmas to mom’s with their infants. Lots of great conversation with my church friends plus a delicious meal. [...]

The slogan for where Doug works (SK Research Council) is “Smart Science Solutions.” And there promotional symbols are light bulbs which are supposed to mean “bright ideas.” I thought you might enjoy seeing this symbolism in “living colour.” Some might say “animated.” Can you appreciate the detail re: SRC is in [...]

I’m now home in Regina and a “lady of leisure”! And what a wonderful way to conclude my semester by celebrating at the LTS Christmas party. I believe I’m moaned in other “comments” that my camera doesn’t take a very good flash photo. Well, Doug tried a number of settings, but [...]

A friend sent me this email a while back and I was deeply touched by its message. I thought I would hold on to it and post it rather than forwarding it to all of you. I thought there might be a few readers who drop in to the blog who I’d miss [...]

I almost forgot this story. Last week my wiper washer fluid level light came on … while I was in Saskatoon. I’ve never done this before. I phoned Doug. He told me what to buy. Magically I didn’t get the purchasing done before Doug came up to Saskatoon a day [...]

Since I’ve started decorating early (as of last weekend) I decided I wanted to put my nativity set out. This seems REALLY too early, so I needed to be creative. I decided [...]

This past weekend I started to do a bit of Christmas decorating. For me this is very early, but I have various commitments over the next few weekends and I wanted to not feel rushed latter. Plus I love the garland on the stairwell. For the past three years Emily has put [...]

Uncle Lew and Auntie Hilda flew in from Victoria as he was invited to speak at the Hanley (my home town) Remembrance Day service. The chapel team that I am on was responsible for had the Nov 10th service and we wanted to do something around Remembrance Day and prayers for peace. [...]

Doug and I had a “blast from the past” last week when we drove back to Regina.
When we left Ontario in early June we passed a “Hutton Trucking” semi with cattle on it somewhere along the road in Northern Ontario. They are based in Paisley, Ontario … my old stomping grounds.
Last week [...]

I preached at the LTS chapel service yesterday at noon. I used the assigned texts of Zechariah 2:1-6 and Mark 10:35-45. I used my personal testimony to unpack the vision given to Zechariah. Note: A first year requirement of the Liturgy class is to organize a “Paschal Retreat” – students are broken [...]
