I am endeavouring to build a healthy lifestyle right now. I have wanted to lose a few pounds and try and keep it off. I am on day nine of my diet and actually have been quite successful. By making some simple adjustments to my diet (no chips, pop and sweets) and better choices (salad […]
The Missing Piece: Fear of God
My Dad just celebrated his 89th birthday. I love to hear his stories, particularly the ones about World War 2 and his part in the Dutch underground and about his childhood in the Netherlands. One of my favourites is his story about visiting the Queen of Holland. He had been a part of a boys […]
85 Billion Dollars
I was reading the “Our Daily Bread” devotional this morning and it stated that in the United States and Canada, 85 billion dollars was spent last year on lottery tickets. 85 billion dollars! I can’t even imagine those kind of figures. Money spent with the hope that it will turn in to more money. I […]
Time and Technology
I just got a new cell phone. It’s not the newest and the best, but in comparison to the one I had, it’s way better. The battery actually lasted all day. My app updates don’t fail because of lack of storage. I like it a lot. Technology is amazing! I cannot believe what my phone […]

Good News and Bad News

I Surrender 10%
If you go to the grocery store you will see a myriad of lite products. Most of the products make promises that they will have all the flavour and half the calories or something to that extent. Many times I have been disappointed with these products and they have not lived up to their billing. […]
The Rubik’s Cube and the Bible
I got my first Rubik’s cube when I was in highschool, way back in 1980. They were all the rage back then. I played with it until it was stolen on a field trip in grade nine. I find in interesting to see the resurgence of interest in these toys again. I often see young […]
