Imagine being at the local market, when some classical music is piped in over the speakers. Then, to your surprise, the gentleman behind you starts warbling an operatic tune… and then the whole market place erupts in song. I would love to have been there that day!

“Well, what do you know…” I discovered the reason for my being so weak and tired. It’s got to be a diet issue. I was watching this historical documentary on how to increase one’s strength, and it definitely makes the point that if I want to be strong to the finish, I’ve got to…

The Mommy Rhapsody!

In honour of Canada Day, I want to offer you the opportunity to watch this classic from the National Film Board of Canada, made in 1966 by Bill Mason.

Enjoy, its 28m long but its worth it!

C’mon, we know you want to be Canadian… eh?

Jesus is the reason for THIS season…

On this Valentine’s Day, I think of those who are experiencing this dream, as well as those whose dream has crashed. This beautiful video portrays the story that most of us dream about, but so many do not attain. The dream is not an illusion, and its something worth fighting for. But it is impossible without God’s help, without humility and grace on our part, and without determination from both partners to love with God’s kind of love: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. [1 Corinthians 13:4-8]
