I thank you Lord For you are very near. Ps.75:1 (NLT) Why did you choose to Love me so intensely? It is easier to imagine A distant God; fierce and cold. But you break in on me; Interrupt my isolation. Longing, like a deep sigh, Sends me seeking you. I am used to [...]

What I learned in church today
No, I guess it may just have all kind of come together this morning. God has been teaching me some of this stuff over a fair stretch of time with a bit more intensity in the last few weeks. This morning I led the kids in their time together after the morning worship service. [...]

Stressing
The next couple of weeks are going to be so busy. I have found that over the last week I have had little time or inspiration for blogging or even for reading some of my favorite blogs. Just too much going on. My Auntie to move and things to do for her. Children needing my timeand [...]

Road warnings
Late yesterday afternoon, Sara and I headed down to Saskatoon. She and I needed to be at a parnet/teen meeting getting ready for her trip to California for the Easter break with Youth For Christ. Since Sara has been little, visiting Disneyland has been one of her dreams. Since it was never high on our [...]

Randall has been lamenting the snow and Lauralea has been shovelling far too much. Since my son’s business usually does the snow clearing, I had a brilliant idea. I would do Lauralea [...]

Little people and God
I am trying to sort out stuff about teaching children about God. In our church, which is small, we do not have an abundance of people to carry on children’s programs. The ones doing this for the past few years are burnt out – maybe not all of them, not completely, but close enough. Close [...]

Obedience
O Most Holy God How can I honour you With less than perfect Obedience? I wish to be obedient. Perhaps I have come A fair way Since beginning with you But the million small demands of life Don’t look sacred. I tire of little humdrum tasks You give me. Obedience eludes me. [...]
