EASTER THOUGHTS- Submitted by Ken Draper
As we await the rising of the sun this Easter morn, we do so in a different setting from years gone by. We are practicing self isolation and be it not for modern technology we would be truly celebrating Easter alone. Thanks be given for all the platforms that now allow us to not only […]
ADVENT THOUGHTS
Don’t you love this time of year? The season of Advent, the season of waiting. In the eyes of a child minutes turned into hours, hours into days and days into weeks. Not so many years ago Sears and Eatons catalogues were dog-eared from us going through them time and time again. There is an […]
IN TIMES LIKE THESE

The news is full of weather related catastrophes, people are starving in parts of Africa, government leaders are corrupt, innocent people are getting killed in war ravaged countries, and on it goes.

I’ve been sitting out on our deck watching the birds flit through the trees calling out their joyful greetings to one another (at least joyful for me), and it made me think of other days I’ve sat on the deck contemplating the world beyond our apartment. Some days the wind is so strong that the trees […]
THE SONG OF THE BIRDS
Each morning, we awaken to the songs of the birds through our open bedroom window. I can think of no sweeter way to begin the day than awakening to the sound of birds singing as they greet the day. If I am very fortunate, I awaken to hear the “dawn chorus” and then fall asleep […]
