Many camps have a tradition of assigning staff camp names. That summer each new staff was named for an Archie comics character. Yes, I got theContinue reading “They Call Me Moose”

40 Years with Jesus
My truck went over 240,000 kms this week. That seemed like a milestone as all the 9’s became 0’s. The sensation didn’t last very long as the next “1” quickly showed up and the moment was lost.

Sometimes you learn things that are very cool. I always like it when someone comes up and says they have been praying for me. This story is like that.

Twitter is like today’s version of the telegram. Both are short and to the point. Actually, at 140 characters Twitter gives us double the amount of characters to communicate as a telegram did, which averaged 10-12 words or about 80 spaces around 1900. As technology of the telephone and the creation of the internet telegramsContinue reading “Twitter vs Telegram”

Without Faith, Nothing Fun Happens
If you take faith out of the Bible, nothing FUN happens!! Hebrews 11 is often called the “Faith Hall of Fame.” Theses are stories of remarkable men and women whose stories stand out to encourage and challenge our faith.
