Speaking in Tongues in Kindersley!
My Sunday is usually a day of rest – for good reason. Even though I’m retired, I feel like I’m busier than I have ever been. So, this Sunday, I took in my usual morning church service and then off with friends to after-service lunch. Usually I go home afterwards and veg out, but a… Continue reading Speaking in Tongues in Kindersley!
Why Culture and Heritage are Vital to Community
There will always be change as we move into the future – as Heraclitus, an ancient philosopher, was prone to say.

What kind of society do you want to live in?
Just the other day I was reminded, once again, why I love the innocence of children. Standing in line at a check-out, a pre-schooler was in line ahead of me with her mother. The youngster looked at me and smiled. When she continued smiling for a full minute I decided to say hello. Immediately she replied… Continue reading What kind of society do you want to live in?
What sustains us
Hope is a four letter word we all need. We have faith to believe that tomorrow will come. That hope keeps us from despair in terms of the faithfulness of God and the belief that the next step we take has meaning. These are great thoughts, and I love philosophizing and theologizing. I also live… Continue reading What sustains us
Cohen, Context, and Culture
We have all been living amongst words this last while. An American election seems to be best explained by saying that the media took Trump’s words literally, but didn’t take him seriously.
