Hebrews 12: 1-2 (TPT) – “As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So, we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for […]

But Wait… There’s More!
It is practically mandatory that any self-respecting Calgarian attend the Calgary Stampede, a cross between a rodeo, midway, and an exhibition that takes place in early July. Calgary is a huge metropolitan city. Most Calgarians have never seen a horse or a cow up close and personal. And yet, for ten days out of every year, […]
The Big Stick of Self-Condemnation
I thought I would give the visitors to my website and my email list subscribers a glimpse into what I am creating on Youtube. As I previously mentioned, I am working on providing practical applications to the devotions in my first two books, “Seasons” and “Dare to Call Him Friend.” Just to shake things up […]
Peacemaker or Peacekeeper – Kath’s Random Thoughts
Matthew 5:9 – “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Are you peacekeeper or are you a peacemaker? Peacekeepers often do everything in their power to keep an artificial peace and use that power to control the behaviour of others. In the same manner that a guard keeps watch over […]
Christian Joy is not a Frothy Emotion

It has endurance, it is strong enough to gird us up through even the darkest of days. “The joy of the Lord IS our strength.” Joy is not born from our past, present, or future […]
Avoid Avoidance. Life Gets Too Complicated
To say that I tend to over complicate things would be an understatement. I’ve spent countless nights strategising and worrying about situations that have not yet arisen. At such times, Google is not my friend, especially at 3:00 a.m. I am most apt to stumble into stress-induced craziness when it comes to finances. It is my […]
Sometimes, It’s All About the Process
As a child growing up in the sixties, I kept my mother company as she took care of the laundry. We’d pass the time by watching an old portable black-and-white TV my mother set up on the kitchen counter. These were the days of I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and The Jetsons, and I marvelled […]
If It’s Not a Good Fit Make Some Adjustments
Isaiah 61:10 – “He has clothed me with the garments of salvation; He has covered me with the robe of righteousness.” During the 1960s, Montana, Idaho, and Washington State were popular vacation destinations for Southern Alberta families. Gasoline was cheap, and the Canadian and American dollars were at par. Families loaded their cars and tent […]
Avoidance Is Not The Best Policy
2019 Disclaimer: Today’s blog uses an illustration from my school years. I grew up smack-dab in the middle of the Baby-Boomer generation. We received straightforward vaccines, usually not combined with multiple vaccines in the same shot. Back then, babies didn’t get as many vaccinations as they do today. Yes, babies DID get their shots, but […]
