Secular Sunday – The Effect of Prayer On Heart Surgery Recovery?

No different than doing nothing. (checks notes) Oh, actually makes recovery worse if you’ve been prayed for in a statistically significant manner! 😮

One Month Until Christmas

We’ve had a tree from Costco since we lived in Calgary twenty years ago.  Buying at Costco is dangerous b/c trees that look “normal” sized in their giant warehouse are GIGANTIC when you get them into your house.  So we’ve always enjoyed our tree but also always found it quite big.  Last year, we bought a smaller pre-lit tree at Canadian Tire and set it up in our upstairs room while we had the big tree (and presents) downstairs so it was less tempting to our dog.

This year, we sold our big tree on Marketplace (to a young couple who’d just bought their first house and were kitting out their new digs which is kinda cool!) so we’re going to try presents under the smaller tree and see how it goes.

I may be heading back to Marketplace to look for a giant baby gate or some sort of indoor fence!
