Failure is not optional because we certainly don’t always win. “Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you areContinue reading “Learning How To Lose”

What to Pray When You Don’t Know What to Pray
What to pray when you don’t know what to pray. Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Just let it out to God. He understands. You can talk to God, yell at Him, cry, scream until you’re hoarse, argue (not usually successfully) or even be silent. He knows, He understands, He loves you!! Jesus has been through allContinue reading “What to Pray When You Don’t Know What to Pray”
In Jesus’ Name! What, Why & How…
Many Christians begin their prayers by addressing God the Father and conclude by ending with in Jesus’ name. This phrase “in Jesus’ name” isn’t some spiritual magical phrase like abracadabra or hocus pocus. And it doesn’t mean we will get everything we want just because we tack that phrase onto the end of our prayers.Continue reading “In Jesus’ Name! What, Why & How…”
Granite & Quartz; a Metaphor for Our Lives
I like rocks, though not geology. Granite and quartz are especially interesting as the light shines off the facets and the colours are vibrant. We saw a diamond on a cruise that had 74 facets, 16 more than the usual cut. It glistened everywhere! Amazing! As a kid we had a rock tumbler that polishes rocksContinue reading “Granite & Quartz; a Metaphor for Our Lives”

Why Widjiitiwin?
Why Widji is a great question. Why not? Or why not another place or job? I’ve always said whatever job I had needed to have a greater purpose. Maybe you’re like that too. Widji does!!

The Value of Kids & Youth
What is the value of a child? A youth? A camper? We need to see people, children, as God sees them. What was His point of view? Well, Jesus gave them His time, Jesus died for them. They are: Loved by God Accepted by Jesus Have guardian angels Are a gift from God Are precious in His sight MadeContinue reading “The Value of Kids & Youth”
Widji Camp Pastors 2018
Every summer at Camp Widjiitiwin we have an excellent group of summer camp pastors who each give a week of their time to be at camp to teach the Bible to campers and staff.
