When I first started this ministry, Facebook and other Social Media platforms didn’t exist. We communicated through message boards and websites. HTML and simple CSS coding made it easy for most people to create a website. I learned simple HTML and understood enough CSS coding to get by, thoroughly enjoying the challenge. I felt smug […]
Fare Thee Well 2021! The word of the Lord for 2022
Fare Thee Well, 2021! Thank you, 2021, for the wisdom, patience, and strength that I developed through the challenges you brought my way. 2021, I promise never to forget the truths I learned as I journeyed through the past 365 days with you.

Treasure Your Gifts
One of the joys I had as a child was watching the bottom of the Christmas tree fill up with presents. It mattered little to me how many presents were addressed to me, just as long as there were plenty of colourfully wrapped gifts tucked away under the branches. In my eyes, each parcel was […]
Disagreement does not Equate Hate
The other night, I invited a couple of dear friends over for an early Christmas dinner. I have known them for years, and we all get along amazingly well. Yes, we get along even when we disagree about some important things. I can hear a collective gasp as I write this. Over the years, we […]
Joyfully Proclaim The Gospel This Christmas Season!
Do you find evangelism intimidating? Christmas is the perfect opportunity to witness without feeling a drop of intimidation or fear. I love many things about Christmas, and most of those things centre on the remarkable opportunity we have to sing God’s praises wherever we go. A thrill runs up my spine when I hear the […]
Who are You Representing and to Whom?
Just who are you representing and to whom? Good questions to ask! 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a favourite of most Christians because it talks about our identity in Christ – but what if it’s not all about us? I invite you to watch my latest YouTube video! It’s all about reconciliation, seeing others through the […]
Savour the Gift of the Moment
Several years ago, an exceptionally hectic and challenging season forced me to postpone Christmas shopping until December 23. Trying to shop in crowded malls with a minimal budget frustrated me. On the 24th, after a long, crowded Greyhound bus ride, I forced my way into my hometown’s bus terminal, lugging wobbly luggage behind me. There […]
Judas Had Enough
At what point did Judas think to himself, “That’s enough Jesus, you’ve gone too far this time!” I believe Judas was not purely evil – no person starts out as such – but at one point, he turned his affections away from his Rabbi and gave into bitterness, which eventually led to his act of […]
Living a Life of Thanks
How does someone keep their heart from hardening when bad things happen? They embrace the daily practice of giving thanks. I don’t know all the answers. However, I have seen thankfulness as a significant thread in the lives of many of my spiritual mentors. They all learned the benefits of living a life of intentional […]
