The Unseen Guest
You have probably asked, where do pastors get the inspiration for their sermons, week in and year out, having something different to serve their audiences? Well, I guess everyone has their own ways and means, but I can tell you about one of my sources. And I can assure you that it is also available…

Tastes Awful but it Works
It is not uncommon for those who travel abroad to make it a must to pick up a few souvenirs and memorabilia to remind them of their trip, whether on business or vacation. We might also do a bit of shopping for family and friends. After all, how can we boast that we have been…

Somebody to Love
In times of prosperity, we tend to leave God standing on the doorstep of our homes, nations, and churches. We assume the credit for all our gains, and we hug the glory for our achievements. Like king Nebuchadnezzar, we strut on the walls of our achievements and boast, “Is this not the great Babylon, that…

The New is Old
It is just past the middle of April 2020. We are somewhere on the curve of the coronavirus pandemic but there is uncertainty as to our location. Some of the experts think we are standing on its plateau while others think there is still lots of mountains ahead to climb. While the virus runs its…

Wind at My Back
Environment Canada had issued a weather warning for April 13, but because neither my wife nor I had listened to the news, we were in for a surprise when we left home that day for our early morning walk. Strong winds, with gusts up to 80 km/h, slammed into us as we headed off north…

After twenty-five years of constant use, our bathrooms were in desperate need of an upgrade. We finally bit the bullet and surrendered one summer to this renovation project. It was messy, expensive, and tiring, but well worth it in the end. Personally, the crown jewel of the project was the new 60” glass door bathroom…

Steal My Heart then Take My House
We were both anxious and excited when the day came to collect our puppy. Bred somewhere in the north of Ontario, and found by my daughter on the internet, the month-long wait had come for her delivery. The pickup point was at a gas station at the intersection of two major junctions in the city.…

Art of Dying
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand (2Tim.4:6). Of the 130 million books written since the dawn of time (as per Google) I wager that a fair percentage of those are How-To books. Every generation wants the secrets and formulas for success in life, business, marriage, you name it.…

Visit from a Fairy Godmother
During my childhood years it was not uncommon for siblings and friends to engage in a simple game called Just One Wish. Basically it went like this. One person would ask the other, “If a fairy godmother appears to you and grants you one wish, what would it be?” There was however one qualification attached…

World’s Biggest Blood Donor
For protection sake let us call him Gustav. To say he was thin would be an understatement. He was all bones. I estimate he could not have been more than 120 pounds even though he stood about 5 foot 9 inches. But he wasn’t sick. He came to work every day, immaculately attired in white…
