The Eagle & Child

I’m exhausted.  I was up at 6:15 this morning and spoke in our church this morning and then we spent the afternoon with some old acquaintances/new friends.  No Sunday afternoon nap means I probably won’t do any heavy reading tonight.  Instead, maybe a little light reading and some Hebrew translation. I’m reflecting back on my sermon [...]

Just a thought I had as I was ruminating on these words of Jesus: “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which people may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of [...]

Also, here is a brief, poorly filmed and uninspiring video, shot at about 9:00 this morning, of [...]

Luke: Who is God? Marc: Well, he’s the creator of the universe and the whole world. Madeline: And he created [...]

You may have noticed the little button at the top of my sidebar, which says “2010 CWA NOMINEE”.  It seems that a kind reader (or a couple of readers) has nominated me for the Canadian Weblog Awards in the categories of “Art & Photography” (for Photolicious) andthe sweeping-but-naturally-associated “Religion, Spirituality and Philosophy” (for this blog). What [...]

Every winter I feel rather un-Canadian. No, I don’t watch Hockey Night in Canada on Saturdays, but worse still, I have not made teaching my children to skate a priority.  In Prince Albert I took Madeline to a rink a handful of times, Luke once.  When we got back from our Christmas vacation I noticed [...]
