*BEEP BEEP BEEEEEP* The sound of my thermometer reminding me that I wasn’t out of the woods yet. The quick succession of beeps meant that my fever was high, and well, it was day 12 of my influenza battle, so it’s pretty disappointing to hear those beeps everyday. I remember when I had Covid in … Continue reading Fighting the Influenza and Appreciating my Students

Saturday Morning Antics
My eyes open to a dark room, with a small stream of light passing between two curtains. It’s 8 a.m. - I can’t believe I actually slept in that long. Now mind you, I did wake up at 5 a.m. battling a clenched jaw, but thankfully I went back to sleep. It’s Saturday morning, and … Continue reading Saturday Morning Antics
The Saint
Good morning folks! Below is a piece I wrote months ago, inspired by John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. I wrote this story based on my own personal experiences, and the general challenges that followers of Christ experience across the board. Note: You’ll notice the pronouns they and them used throughout the text - I used … Continue reading The Saint
The Funny Side of Punctuality
Good morning and Happy Saturday! I just finished reading my Bible, and what a refreshing time it was - starting your day off in the Word. Before I read, I like to take in a few deep breaths - thank the Lord for His goodness and blessings, and then start reading. This morning I read … Continue reading The Funny Side of Punctuality
The Importance of Being Thankful
Good morning to you - and happy Saturday! I am sat on my front patio, drinking a nice cup of coffee, overlooking some beautiful, lush maple trees. This morning has been marvellous so far - my children are away on a sleepover, my bible and new highlighter are in hand (it’s the little things that … Continue reading The Importance of Being Thankful

Today is Friday Reflections: a end of the week period where I write about some places I visited and the funny moments that happened: visiting the park, and finally chilling on the beach in Topsail. Sit back, pour … Continue reading Friday Reflections: Checking out the new CBS park and face planting at the beach
Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend
After months of not writing, I am back on the blog-wagon. Teaching this year was great and very busy, so now that I have some time to relax, I am dusting off my keyboard and hitting the blog. Today’s writing is about our faithful dog, Asher, who we had to say goodbye to back in … Continue reading Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend
Hide and Seek and Remembering Promises.
A beam of light shining through the pitch-black woods, searching for a shadowed silhouette. Hiding behind a rock, my heart raced as the distance between the seeker and my hiding spot closed. Behind me, about fifty feet “on my six”, was another youth hiding behind a clump of trees. The beam of light leapt over … Continue reading Hide and Seek and Remembering Promises.
Ice Skating for Noobs, Chinese “Spy” Balloons, and Laser Tag Heroics
Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a great week. These last two weeks have been filled with lots of action and some hair-raising events. I've experienced some things out of my norm; which will be included in this post today. Besides my own personal stories, I will also be commenting on the ongoing … Continue reading Ice Skating for Noobs, Chinese “Spy” Balloons, and Laser Tag Heroics
Lightspeed and Heartbreak
Holy moly! Things are moving at a fast pace lately. It seems like only yesterday I started teaching again after many years; and that it didn't seem all that long ago that Isaac was using his bedroom wall (the one adjacent to my room) as a drum. The children are growing faster than I ever … Continue reading Lightspeed and Heartbreak
