Our Spiritual Battle

The spiritual battle we fight was initiated by two races created by God – angels and humans. Ephesians 6:10-12 – Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For weContinue reading “Our Spiritual Battle”

This World is NOT My Home

Back when I was working at Muskoka Woods in the late 80’s we had some great and popular Christian musicians come and play concerts for the campers and staff. Those influenced the music I listened to, although I was mostly into country music (yes, before it was cool). One of my favourite albums at thatContinue reading “This World is NOT My Home”

I know it’s part of my human nature, but that doesn’t excuse me, or you. I know that I am supposed toContinue reading “Dear God: I have a problem. It’s me!”

It’s Been Quite a Ride; a Moose Health Update

Many of you are aware of my health journey over the last 5-7 years! My health continued to get worse from 2012 until I was forced to take sick leave for the summer of 2017 (July through September). I honestly remember very little of May or June that year either. It took a lot forContinue reading “It’s Been Quite a Ride; a Moose Health Update”
