A Better Way

“Ascential” Truth – Sermon This weekend was the 24th of May Weekend – celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday in Canada. Our minister, Harry, spoke about kingship, and ascension to the throne. In the secular world there is much pomp given to the ascension of a king/queen. Gifts are given and received....

Perspective How do I see things? Mmm Well I know that I see them much differently that I did ten years ago. My spiritual growth has extended. My fear factor has been reduced. I trust more. I love more. I listen more. I give more. I enjoy more. Why? Because I pray more and listen [...]

Labour and Deliverance It is Mother’s Day – and I am writing this because it is important for me to rethink what our minister said today. There were so many things that Harry spoke about today I am having trouble putting them together in my mind. So I will tell you the high points of [...]

Identity This week’s word is Identity. What is my identity? I want it to show who I am and what I believe. Do I? I am not sure. Sometimes I feel as if I would like to do more – have more time to finish things that seem important to me. And sometimes I just [...]

Community What would we do without others in our lives. They make the world sing, they bring us joy and peace; they help us when we are down, sick and just feeling out of sorts. I belong to a few communities. We have lived in a small town for almost 9 years. We know many [...]

Trust What a pleasure this morning to have a guest pastor, Pastor Brian Plouffe, visit us at my home church in Haliburton. This was our first Sunday back in our church since last October because we spent six months away this winter. Our homecoming – wonderful. Read my post on Together. Today here ar...
