Have you considered lately what it is you were put on this planet to do? Have you thought recently about why you’re here? The Bible says that we were made to glorify God. This truth is stated quite clearly by God when he describes his children as, “Everyone who is called by my name, whom […]
Every so often I come across something that I simply must share. With Christmas just around the corner, here is a clever take-off on the poem ‘Twas the Night before Christmas.

Things to see. Assignments to complete. E-mails to check. It all seems a bit mundane perhaps. But what if you had a different perspective? What if today […]
A number of years ago I was playing a basketball game when I fell back hard on the floor, snapping my wrist. When I heard an audible crack, I knew something was broken! The pain was excruciating. After a trip to the ER, and an X-ray—confirming the break—I was fitted with a cast. I had […]
Last month, when the summer days were just beginning, we decided to go for a family hike. We chose a nearby mountain (Mt. St. Hilaire) which had numerous trails and a panoramic view from the top. Only about 40 minutes from the city, I knew about it because my parents had taken me there several […]
