This is old news to some of you; perhaps new to others. If you haven’t yet viewed this little 20-minute video, then you’re due. If you’ve got friends, kids, or other people in your life, have them watch it with you. I’d venture that some sort of quality conversation will arise from something that’s said.
It’s [...]

Bring Down the Rich… and More

I’ve become kind of taken with a magazine called AdBusters. Magazine subscriptions don’t seem worthwhile to me, but I pillage the library’s stock frequently.
If you’ve never flipped through an issue, let me describe it this way: I’m not sure I’d let my kids read it, but I’d definitely talk about its content with them. Add [...]
Ten Commandments I Never Knew

On Sunday, I’m starting a summer teaching series on “Ten Words for a Beautiful Life”. It’s another look at the “Ten Commandments”.
Some internet searching led me to this version. I’m not sure I’ll be using this on Sunday, but it worth a post here!
Enjoy these more-timeless-than-I-realized words (translations are included just in case!)…

Today’s been a fun day in the sports world…
On the grass of Wimbledon, Ms. Sharapova got beat today by a woman ranked #154 in the world. On her heels, Andy Roddick gets bumped from the men’s draw. Everyone loves an upset, but there had to be a special pleasure for some viewers as (yesterday) Novak [...]

So we got on a cleaning kick last night. We plowed through our CD’s and cassettes (Yes, we still had some of those around!) But before giving away some of these beauties, I’m putting them on my computer so I can still listen to a few favourites of a decade (and century) gone [...]
The Corporation

An intriguing DVD was handed to me last week.
“The Corporation” looks at (wait for the plot twist here)… the corporation! It explores how these mega-companies have come to exist, how they’ve grown so unbelievably large, and the massive role that they play in the world today.
Things learned while watching ranged from a number of “Hmmm. [...]

Every so often, I find myself reading parts of the old Jewish laws (Exodus-Deuteronomy). While I enter feeling confident that I’ll find something of value, I confess to a fair bit of shrugging when I read about what could or couldn’t be eaten, how it should or shouldn’t be prepared, and what objects were [...]

Another season is upon us, and you already know it’s going to be a good one…
Friday night’s game was played during a period of blue skies, minimal wind, and comfortable temperatures… all this after half a week of rain and cold. As happy fans slept Friday night, the rains fell again. A sign [...]

Give my best to your papa this weekend. It just may be that one of these videos was made with him in mind.

Long-time fan favourite Corey Holmes was let go by the Roughriders this past off-season. His name has not yet resurfaced on any team’s roster. The link below leads to a great story printed today on what the future might hold for this fine young man of faith.
