It’s a peeve of mine every year. I warn those near me not to engage in it or face the consequences. I’m often seen as a kill-joy as a result, and this post will probably be taken in that vein by those who don’t see a problem with the subject matter. But this time IRead More…
See there’s this horse, and she doesn’t like to stop. My daughter’s been training her from “track broke” for over a year now when training began in February of 2015. She can walk, trot, canter (needs help with transitioning up to Canter however, and with balancing), go over trot poles, ground rails, uneven trot poles,Read More…
As already written a few weeks ago now, there is quite a bit of frivolous, high-living-driven wastage going on in Canada because of the materialistic mindset that everything must look perfect or its not worthy of being consumed. Grocery store chains such as Loblaw’s family of stores are to be lauded for seeking to changeRead More…
But many homeless people will tell you that they eat better from the dumpster bins of restaurants and grocery stores than they would have had they been working and earning an income! Why?

It’s been an interesting two weeks recently with the various articles suddenly appearing in the news. In general, Canadians are concerned about Canada’s economic outlook now that the NDP have so solidly sunk Alberta! The global price of oil has had a direct impact as well, because for reasons I’ll never fathom, Canada’s own oilRead More…
If you follow my blog or have read more than one of my books, you’ll know that God regularly speaks to me about focus and rest in Him no matter what is going on around me. This came up again part way through the morning service as the congregation sat in a moment of silentRead More…
It was back in July of 2015 when I shared a comparison article between CashCrate and Swagbucks. At the time, I wasn’t visiting every single day, but I saw potential with CashCrate that I hadn’t seen with Swagbucks. Here we are now in February of 2016, and I am now sharing my first physical cheque!Read More…
Isaiah 5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! This verse came back to mind as I was reading the news on ctv.ca. Two headlines grabbed me and it wasn’t hard toRead More…
