Misplaced Fear In A Pandemic World…

This morning whatever wheels that were keeping our quarantine homeschooling moving forward effectively fell off. And the cart crashed. And went up in flames. Smoke is still rising. Yesterday began week 4 of this new form of school and week 6 of isolation, so I suppose a collision was inevitable. And it seems far from

In Response To John MacArthur and Jen Hatmaker…

The evangelical world can be ugly.  And this week has unearthed some of that ugliness right before the eyes of the church and beyond. I wish it wasn’t like this. But it is and will always be.  For those of you unaware, a video clip of famous leader and preacher John MacArthur has gone viral

Oh Death, Where Is Your Sting? – Halloween Thoughts…

Every year is the same.

With every new day comes a new story of sexual abuse or inappropriate behaviour. All of it happening behind the scenes of smiling

Putting Aside Bucket Lists For A Longer Vision Of The Coming Glory…

While scrolling through Facebook I came across a story that made me take pause both because of its tragedy and commentary on the culture at large. It read “Saskatoon Mom With Terminal Cancer Continues To Check Things Off Her Bucket List.” This woman is 30, healthy looking and beautiful with a daughter at her side.
