I took my dog out for a walk this afternoon. As I walked I reflected. Reflecting can be penetrating these days. And today was no different. Yesterday evening a young mom, wife, sister, daughter, part of our church family and community, passed away after a short 5 month battle with cancer. A daughter of the … Continue reading All Things New →

One of my favourite pass times these days has been to watch clouds through the window as they slowly pass by. It's so relaxing and stills the barrage of thoughts that at times is going on inside of me. I just focus on the beauty of the clouds and their slow, steady movement across my … Continue reading Clouds →

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 NKJV God is faithful. He is faithful now. He was faithful before we knew Him and His faithfulness will not waver in the future. Psalm 119:90 says that "God's faithfulness endures to all generations; He has established the earth, and it … Continue reading Faithful God →

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”  The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, … Continue reading Do Not Fear →

How do you perceive God and His love? Do you see Him as a taskmaster in the sky, judgmental or harsh? Do you see Him as One who loves all people, but perhaps you haven't internalized that love for yourself? Do you see Him as the ever present, constant, Father that loves you personally with … Continue reading God’s Reckless Love →

Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky.  But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank. Exodus … Continue reading The Presence of God →

Today is a day of grief. Last night, the dad of my high school friends passed away peacefully after fighting covid-19 in ICU for a week and a half. I don't have words. They had the option to suit up and join their dad in the room to say goodbye. The three sisters chose to … Continue reading Death and Grieving →

I sat looking out my bedroom window as some house sparrows flitted about on the tree in my neighbour's yard. As I was watching these sparrows outside my window a verse spoke by Jesus came to mind. "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground … Continue reading Worth of a Sparrow →

You know life's exciting when an entire blog post revolves around a simple trip to the grocery store. Or...is a trip to the grocery store actually so simple? Yesterday I made my weekly trip to the grocery store. I made sure I had my reusable bags, wallet and cell phone so I had my electronic … Continue reading Trip to the Grocery Store →

This is the first time I'm writing on a Sunday, but perhaps it's because I need some reminders this morning. Over the last few weeks something has been growing in me. On Easter Sunday it hit me during congregational prayer, the following weekend it started Saturday night, and this weekend it was late Saturday afternoon. … Continue reading Sunday Worship →
