The late, great Archbishop Ted Scott talked a lot about 'unity in diversity.' The former primate of the Anglican Church of Canada had a keen awareness of who we are as church. The defining feature for Archbishop Scott was really all about diversity. Suggesting that we should all be the same to him was tantamount... Continue Reading →
Lent – Day 29: A Reflection of Love
I love the wonder of a child. On Sunday I was so happy to see our little Godson Peter at church. He is such a precious treasure. Having even a few minutes with Peter is a gift. Have you ever noticed that being with a child does something special to us? Oddly, children help us... Continue Reading →
Lent – Day 28: When the Priest Turns Purple, we have Bishop!
I was taking note the other day that I have beer in my fridge that has mountains on the label that turn blue when the beer is at the proper temperature for consummation…..hmmmmm….then I noted that my razor has a blue strip that turns white when it has dulled to the place of plucking each...

Lent – Day 27: If God is with us, Who can stand against us?
Are we aware of how very much we are cared for by the love of God who holds us in the midst of all things? Can we comprehend how very deep Gods love for us is? It can be hard for us to accept that love sometimes, given our own state of being and how... Continue Reading →
Catching Up
Well I had a good run. Right up to Day 20 of Lent without breaking the discipline. Truth is, I had my sister Helen and her husband Gary for a visit and took of Days 22-26 from the blog. But fear not – I have thoughts for each day. MARCH 21 Lent – Day 22:... Continue Reading →
Lent – Day 21: Stillness

Lent – Day 20: Sister Crabgrass
Last spring and summer I had to put some work back into the Rectory lawns. I had something called grubs in the front lawn that pretty much decimated the lawn. In the back, things were a little better but I have developed something back there called crabgrass. I did not know a lot about crabgrass... Continue Reading →
LENT – DAY 19; A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH
I have been reading the lectionary readings throughout Lent. This morning’s readings include Psalm 119:97-120. In that Psalm is the famous words of verse 105; “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” The first memory that I have of those words were reading them in Latin and English inside...

Lent – Day 18: Daisy, Zoe, Haley and Dryden
You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us. – These words of Robert Louis Stevenson are likely true. The truth is, I never really liked dogs. In fact I would almost say that I really pretty much afraid of dogs. I really did not... Continue Reading →
Lent – Day 17: Children and Church
Yesterday we had an Intergenerational Mass. The kids from the Sunday School were in church and participated fully. It was GREAT to have the whole church community together. I am glad to say that we are planning to do these liturgies more often. It was really neat to have tied together what the kids have... Continue Reading →
