Landing in Ramah: Christmas Letter 2016
Christmas 2016 Dear Friends, I GIVE UP! This is now my third attempt at writing my Christmas letter. The first time, after I completed it, the computer froze and I had to hard crash the system. When I did that the letter reverted to a copy that I only had completed about a quarter of […]
God’s Heart for the Orphans
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27 (NLT) Some numbers are really big.

Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain
On Sunday, we continued our series of messages called “Keep it Simple” I talked about how we need to, as time management guru Steven Covey puts it, “keep the main thing, the main thing.” The apostle Paul in his writings responds to a disagreement on a particular issue, and asked his readers to remember what […]

Keep it Simple: First Love
My Bible College days are a long way behind me. I have to admit that I have forgotten many of the things that I learned while there, but there is one thing I have never forgotten. I took a counselling in my second year and the teacher said something I have always remembered. The course […]
A Letter to a Younger Me
I was reading an article where former National Hockey Player and Toronto Maple Leaf, Doug Gilmour wrote a letter to a younger self. I liked the perspective of writing from wisdom and experience to a younger and less experienced you. I hadn’t though of the article in quite an extended period of time, when I […]
