That was, without question, the longest break I’ve taken from writing here since I started this blog in the good old days.
Lots has happened:
Celebrated 19 years with the world’s most incredible woman.
My daughter turned into a teen ager.
My son hit double digits.
Closed in on 18 months out of pastoring a local congregation.
I’ve really been wrestling [...]

Got a lot of stuff to get off my chest, so here goes…

This is the first time I’ve been here for the Nativity, and I’m blown away [...]

I had a friend ask me about how a Christian should handle the various holidays and what seems to be bad influence in each. They specifically mentioned Christmas and Easter, but I tried to answer in a way that would actually relate to something broader. I never get sick of questions from new Christians!!
Here’s what [...]

Ah, this is awesome!!!
I love having Mondays to spend with Heather. We spend time together, running errands, doing all the little things that need to be done around the house that I never had the time in the past to do, just being together…
In case you haven’t realized, Heather is my best friend. She’s awesome. [...]

Da, da–da, da-da, da…Monday, Monday…
Quick mind-dump:
The snow is melting! The snow is melting! When we arrived in Moncton, we were overwhelmed with the amount of snow on the ground (coming from Saint John which had really nothing on the ground…). And, yes I know Moncton got off easy compared with some of the northern NB [...]

Nahum has one more game before his season is over. He played Saturday and his team won 6-2. You may have heard of ‘hockey hair‘? Here’s what Nahum looked like for Saturday’s game.

Hockey hair. Gotta love it.

“Teach us to number our days…”
Yesterday our family said goodbye to my grandfather, or ‘Grampy’, as he was better known to me. The funeral service was very nice, with a lot of personal stories and laughs (mostly provided in my brother’s eulogy). I am thankful I had the chance to visit with Grampy [...]

Ever feel like you’re on someone’s hit-list? Like they’re just waiting for an opportunity to get you?
Well, right now I’m checking in with some friends, and I think their cat is pretty disgusted with me. Since I got here, Freckles has been yowling to get my attention, and then when I look at [...]

Phew! What a day! Got moved out of our old place, and into the temporary digs. If it wasn’t for some AMAZING friends, I’d still be huffing and puffing to get the sofa in the door!!!
Rundown of the day: Lots of laughs, and a hernia, ruptured disc, severed hand, pinched nerves, jammed finger(s), sore neck, [...]
