This morning I saw a picture on social media that I can’t seem to get out of my mind. It was a picture taken of a small African boy next to a wall. The perspective shows you looking down on the young man. Its a photo that says more than I could ever say. Please […]
It seems like just yesterday the summer was arriving, and here we are at the first day of fall. I thought I’d tell you a story about how our large geographical country sometimes seems very small.
Last year, while on vacation, Judy and I visited my daughter and the grand-kids outside of Edmonton, Alberta. It was […]
This morning I learned of the sudden, unexpected death of a paramedic who I knew and with whom I worked some years ago. He leaves behind his wife and two teenaged children. His death reminds me of the uncertainty of life, and the fact no one knows the day or the hour. My question for […]
We’re nearer to the end of the month of July than the first, now. Judy and I have just returned from ten days with Nova Voce, singing our way through the mid-Atlantic United States. Temperatures were warm and humid, but the folks we met were great.
We experienced a “cuh-vud dish sup-pah” in Virginia, met relatives […]
Here we are, already heading through the month of July, with both Canada Day on the 1st and our southern neighbour’s Independence Day, on the 4th, now behind us.
This week is our church’s Soccer Bible Camp, which Judy has organized and directed for about twenty years now. We go from a small, local church with […]

It’s always good to have another musician join in – makes the “unplugged” piano sound so much fuller.
I’ve also been […]
When I first made this journal part of my plan for the “new look” of my website, I’d decided it would be an outlet for me to talk about things that I thought were important in life. Not that my thoughts are terribly important, but I wanted kind of a place where I could comment […]
The start of another work week. Snow still covers most of our back yard and part of our deck, but the ice in the driveway finally gave way to the heat yesterday and I’ve put all the shovels away until next winter (from my mouth to God’s ears). Yesterday was, as usual, a full day. […]
Today I’d like to introduce you to my wife, Judy. She’s also an artist. Her medium is photography and you can find her at www.judealou.com. When she’s not busy taking care of me (a full time job if ever there was one) she is our church’s chairman of the Missions Committee, Hospitality Committee, and Sunday […]
