There should be a colour called autumn blue. The sky is an incredible clear rich blue. The leaves are golden. There is no wind. It is warm. At least I have windows to watch this autumn day pass as I work. But I wish I were out lying under this sky not looking at [...]

Made Me Think
Reading Randall’s post and the words to the old hymn came to my mind; My Hope is Built on Nothing Less by Edward Mote. Here are the words thanks to Cyberhymnal. My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ [...]

Women’s book study

Limbering up the claw
Well, orchestra started again for me tonight. This year the conductor mercifully chose music that was more at the beginner level. Many of the top players have moved on.

Lancaster dies
For a non-sports fanatic, football still holds my attention, especially during the Grey Cup play offs. CBc has a story on him here. Ronnie Lancaster was playing back when I was in school. He left his mark on Canadian football, on Saskatchewan and likely on all of us who are his peers.
