Doesn’t everyone have a bad day, at least once in a while? Bookmark this page…have it at the ready to come back to, on one of those days when you’re at the end of your rope, and tying a knot and holding on just seems more than what’s possible. There’s something about his voice, his …
So low that down is up
I don’t remember where I heard this line, but I heard it a very loooong time ago, and it stuck with me. I’m thinking of it particularly today, being December 21st, the shortest day of the year. I am a sunshine lover, and crave the brightness and the warmth that the sun brings…so the fall …
Hump Day Nudge: Getting off the Bench
We are made to live in community…and we do well when we help each other out. I saw this video recently…only 68 seconds long, it inspires me to look around and make myself available to help another who needs it. Darnell Barton is going along, doing his job, and notices that someone needs help. He …
Hump Day Nudge: Kindness lights up
I went away this past weekend, and stayed with a friend’s sister. I met B once briefly, for about 5 minutes…and I was invited to stay at her home for 4 days. She had bright yellow flowers in the room where I stayed. A home made quilt on the bed, fresh towels on the rack. …
Hump Day Nudge: A Lil Good News
Today is Wednesday of a short week…is it Hump Day already? Yep…and I’m loving that. Some of you may feel like it’s been a long week already…some have heavy hearts…some have triggers of sadness in July… …some might just need to borrow a smile from another for a little break today. Take a peek at …
Hump Day Nudge: Joy can be quirky
I can identify with this video on some days…I start out ambitious to pull of something pretty special and joyous that will delight the folks I love…and then it starts to go sideways. Not that long ago, one of the junior tribe members brought over someone for me to meet…and I wanted it to …
Back’atcha
So, last fall, I had a friend that life had burned badly…a nasty divorce, a bad job situation, heartbreak with her children…I could go on. She lives out of province, and I cared, but living so far away it was hard to know what to do. She and I have been close: we share quotes …
Hump Day Nudge: Nature’s beauty
It’s Tuesday night. Hump Day is tomorrow. Yesterday was a stressful, conflicted, yammering, kind of day around our house, with seemingly everyone bagging on each other, not enough time, and the pressures of the world crowding in around us…the tones were tense, and it required effort to not go off on each other. We pulled …
Supporting Your Team
I was at the inaugural event at the new Investor’s Group Stadium this afternoon of One Heart. Mark Hughes exhorted the assembled crowd to remember that all the churches in this city of Winnipeg are on one team, the same team…and that when the churches of Winnipeg support and work together, things become possible in …
Hump Day Nudge: Play
We laughed out loud around our office at some of the shenanigans of Charlie Todd and his crews in this video: If you haven’t got time to watch the whole thing, skip to 6:25 and watch what happens when a hundred people dressed in khaki pants and blue polo shirts walk into a Best Buy …
