This morning I got to help serve breakfast to about 24 Junior High kids at the church. They had been up all night – Twelve Hours of Madness – in preparation for Junior High Jam in Alberta. It helps them get to know each other a bit. Saskatchewan is a big place and Covenant Churches [...]

Sara the Driver
Today a milestone was passed. My household has no more student drivers!! She passed. Her only restriction is to wear her glasses. Only lost 8 points. She did the wrong sequence of signal, shoulder check, then change lanes a couple of times and did not end up parallel to the curb at the end of [...]

Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning
I’m about half way through the reading of Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning. I began it awhile ago and was picking away at it fairly slowly. Then as I was dropped into a situation of complete unknowing and chaos I found the book speaking to me. Right when I needed to be reminded about trust. [...]

Arguing our points
Just sitting here browsing, since my patients have chosen not to show up this morning – so far. David Brazzeal at www.curieux.ca posted a link to this article, Avoiding the Argument Party, on the Resonate group conversation. Brian McLaren gets knocked around for his expressions of belief but I sure think he writes with a [...]

Just thinking
I was thinking back to when I posted the picture of my son with his friends from law school. He of course introduced us to friends of both sexes. But his best friend was female and from what I could tell, he was certainly at ease in the company of a number of the women [...]

That's my boy
Here he is. A face only a mother could love. It was hard to get a picture when his mouth was not moving! Like a good lawyer! Well, actually, he seems to be friends with a lot of other students and they tended to be women. Not sure what that means. Finally we have [...]

Dancing
Last night I spent at the E A Rawlinson Centre. The Prince Albert Festival of Dance is going on there this week and last night Grace was dancing. When I looked at the schedule hung up on her dance studio wall, I sort of figured out that she should dance at about 8 pm, maybe [...]

A new Pope
As I was filling someone’s tooth this morning the usual assortment of popular music was interrupted to announce the election of a new pope. A relatively quick election I think. So it is Ratzinger! Benedict 16th. A conservative theologically for sure. I can remember reading a paper of his on the Holy Spirit. I [...]
