Motivating Fear

The New Year is well underway: the holidays have come to an end and life has resumed it’s normal pace. While many may look at the start of a New year with excitement and anticipation; others may look at it with trepidation and dread: it may signify big changes in our lives or situations. Some

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have a wonderful day of celebration!

A few moments

Our lives are ordered by time. Depending on our situation, our perception of time is either slow or fast: if we wait in anticipation, the minutes seems to drag on. But if we are occupied and busy, time speeds on. The older I am, the faster time seems to move-and there are numerous others who

Spiritualism & the quest for more

We are on the cusp of Halloween. I’m not sure about the rest of the world, but Halloween decorations always hit our stores with Christmas decor by mid-September. It has been believed that Halloween originated with Ireland, but I have recently learned that it’s a blend of the Irish pagan celebration of Samhain (pro. Sa-wen),

The dark mysterious

When I was a teenager, I was captivated by the supernatural. Anything to do with the afterlife held my interest, and the ideas of ghosts with unfinished business, vampires with their endless lives etc. always had my attention.

Pebbles

I was speaking to a friend recently who has gone through a difficult two years, both spiritually and mentally. While she has had a trying time, she has come ‘out the other side’ and is stronger then before. That is often what trials do: they force us to either ‘fight or flight’. There are many

Superheroes are wonderful, imaginary persons. All of them have a serious backstory, in which they receive abilities that help them go beyond their situation and once they have achieved this, they can then help others. Their stories show us their hopes, dreams, fears and weaknesses-and many are a reflection of what we may face. Whether

Justice & Mercy

I was listening to a podcast by R.C. Sproul which spoke about the Sovereignty of God and again the common question was mentioned of :’if God is good why…?’ It’s a question we all struggle with: why is there evil? Why isn’t everyone saved? Why is there sin? etc. There are some things that we

Jesus +

Every Sunday, my church practices communion, which is a time to pause, reflect and thank God for the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross for our sin. This past Sunday in preparation, several bible verses were read from different letters in the New Testament that all spoke of the Cross and that it is by
