Who Are You?
I remember when we moved into a small town where just about everyone knew everyone else. When I walked into a restaurant, people would stare. When I walked into the clinic, people would whisper. It’s not that they were being rude, but they just didn’ Read more

Who is shepherding your way in life?
Every once in a while and probably regularly, we must ask ourselves who is my guide and my guard? Who is guiding me in my decisions, in the way I conduct myself? Is it the politicians, the media, my friends, my neighbours, myself, or the one true per Read more

Bigger Than We Can Imagine
Easter has passed; this year, I was glad to celebrate it with those who came to church. It was a tremendous improvement compared to last year when I had to post something online. My family sang and read the Bible story, but something was missing; the Read more

Jesus’ Resurrection Love Colours Outside the Lines
A few years ago, a survey was done in Saskatchewan churches asking congregants which Jesus’ story most touches your understanding and informs your resurrection faith. It was quite surprising the conformity in the result, with almost 70 percent of res Read more

The Online Doll
Ever get sucked into believing something was the real thing only to find out it was an imitation instead? I sure have! I had to learn a hard lesson this Christmas when “due to COVID,” I found myself doing more shopping online instead of going to the Read more

Lambs and Lions
March comes “in like a lamb, out like a lion” or else the other way around. If we have had more than one year of life in this province, we know how changeable March is. I call March the weather salad; something different in every bite. Certainly, we Read more

Give Glory to God, but How?
We hear about angels singing praises to God when Jesus was born: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those with whom he favours” ( NRSV, Lk 2:14 ). We as people are also to give God glory, but how does one do that? Read more

What did we learn in 2020?
Here’s the thing I learnt. It’s the thing we all know if you’ve spent any time in church. Jesus wants us to love one another. Jesus says: “In the same way I have loved you, love one another.” Read more

What is a Good Change?
One of the first jobs of the new year is getting rid of the old year. Calendars need to be changed, getting used to writing the correct year, and perhaps the biggest chore is removing the last vestiges of Christmas, taking down the tree and decoratio Read more

Smiles Matter
Of all the changes due to the coronavirus, I think the most profound loss is the smile. The mask which reduces the spread is also a dam against the flow of the largest range of bodily expression: smiles, frowns, smirks, the dropped jaw. Read more
