My favourite time of year is here once again; my inner child was laughing and the smile came again. My memories of the Nativity and baby Jesus on our lawn...and how … Continue reading The 1st Day of Christmas

Watch Out For The Sirens: How Our Technology Might Not Be Helping Us
Holy moly! Talk about distractions these past few weeks. I’ve been finding myself seeping away into an abyss of ‘things’: TV, Video Games, iPhone, Facebook- you name it! It’s so strange that the timing for these distractions seemed to coincide with my wife and I becoming Youth Leaders at our local church. Go figure. Whenever … Continue reading Watch Out For The Sirens: How Our Technology Might Not Be Helping Us
A Remembrance Day Tribute
Land. Sea. Air. Theatres of war where young men and women served and for many gave the ultimate sacrifice. Whether on the rocky beaches of Dieppe or the beautiful sand of Juno Beach; whether fighting fierce waves on the dark ominous waters of the North Atlantic; whether flying through the dull grey skies over Britain…all … Continue reading A Remembrance Day Tribute
”You Decide.”
I am thankful for a lot of things. I am thankful for a God who lives and a life redeemed. I am thankful for a wife who loves me and four children who love me too. I am thankful for a church, where I feel comfortable yet challenged. I am thankful for my Christian brothers … Continue reading ”You Decide.”

Christmas in October
Photo by Kadri Vosumae on Pexels.com I was cooking in the kitchen, when suddenly he appeared; he was looking mighty curious with a smile from ear to ear. He slowly walked to where I stood, as he looked from left to right. His face flashed excitement, when he sneaked up to my side. "I need … Continue reading Christmas in October
Decisions: Booger King and Staying Straight
Life is full of ups and downs, twist and turns, and decisions that we make on the fly. As a father of four, I make a decent amount of decisions daily. What to make for school lunches, how to do the girls hair (practice needed, just ask my daughters), clothes for today, breakfast; the list … Continue reading Decisions: Booger King and Staying Straight
Welcome back…
“Welcome back...” Drip, Drip, drip, drip. Wipe, Wipe, wipe, wipe. “Thank you, have a great day.” Cough, Cough, cough, sneeze. Whine, Whine, whine, cry. “Take this, it will make you feel better.” Slurp, Slurp, slurp, slurp. Wind howling, rain pouring, darkness all around. “Waaaahhhhhh.” A little voice sounds in the night. “Which one is that?” … Continue reading Welcome back…
Be Aware
Tangle tangle, weave weave. I do not fear what I can’t see. Lurking lurking, waiting waiting. Ever watching - but I don’t really see. Normal normal, clear clear. They said it’s safe, so I’ll go here. Ready ready, ready ready. Life is great, I have nothing to fear. Ready ready, ready… NOW! I love this … Continue reading Be Aware
Short and Sweet: Story Time and a Thunderous Boom
"BATMAN STORY! BATMAN STORY!" "Alright, alright. Just a short one tonight. What one do you want to hear?" I watched as she snuggled down into the sheets, pulling them up to her nose. Her eyes darted to the left and right as she contemplated a new adventure. She was laying the ground work and I … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Story Time and a Thunderous Boom
