Secular Sunday – Gone Way Too Soon

I’ve written a lot about the many many reasons I don’t believe in God. But one of the biggest is that no matter how many “God works in mysterious ways” or “He does things to test us” excuses I hear, I can’t reconcile a merciful god that would take some of the best, most amazing, […]

Music Monday – “What would you say/If I took those words away?/Then you couldn’t make things new/Just by saying ‘I love you'”

It’s always ironic than when my life is the busiest – work, home, family – both immediate and extended, camping, volunteer stuff, medical appointments, helping my parents, etc. etc. etc. – is when I’m most likely to end up not doing daily blog posts (I frequently miss a day but then do it the following […]

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes. This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas.
