Looking For The Gold
Looking For The Gold I was definitely encouraged this week with our time with Tim <insert Melinda’s giggle and exclamation: ‘time with Tim! I like that!> What I really learned, though, is that a lot of the ‘issues’ of our world, specifically dealing with racism, have to do with perspectives.…
This is Right Outside Your Door
This is Right Outside Your Door Have you ever been to a church or maybe a government building or monument that has dozens of flags from all over the world? If you’re Canadian, one of the first things you do is try to find the flag(s) of your country of…
Heaven’s Rehearsal
Heaven’s Rehearsal Martin Luther King once said that “the most segregated time in America, is Sunday morning.” As harsh as that statement may sound, recent research shows that churches in North America are not doing enough to change that.

Women With Swords
Women with Swords In this week’s Motivational Monday (Episode 27) we’re looking at 2 Timothy 1:7, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” The Bible (also known as the scriptures or God’s Word), is described in Ephesians 6 as…

Quicksand Love
Quicksand Love Family is an easy one for me to gush about. I will never deny that I am blessed in this area. We are very close, even though spread across the globe, but we still manage to do life together. If any of the Australian family members are visiting…
