Not the bird that runs around imitating quail caught in perpetual indecision. Not the bird running around imitating a dead chicken’s nerves in the barnyard. No, we’re talking about the bird who imitates the Robin, ear to the ground, following the sound of dinner as it invariably pops near the surface somewhere. The bird thatRead More…
1 Samuel 7:3-4 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the handRead More…
I must ask everyone’s forgiveness. I just realized that my last blog posting took place near the final weekend in November. At that time, I was just putting together my latest book: 30 Days of Advent Colouring Journal, and diving into a busy choir season with Kelowna Community Gospel Choir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEGdI13dZmg Add to that playingRead More…

Ruth 3:18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

My notes for the book of Judges were sparse to say the least. If there is a book showing the incredible yo-yo effect of followers rather than those who make solid choices, this book was it! The book of Judges also shows the dangers of not following God’s commands fully, as nations they had notRead More…
My blogging has been quiet through the Book of Judges so far. Israel was doing what it did best at that time, serving God and then whoring after other gods. God was keeping His promises, the positive ones as well as the negative ones, and ensuring that in His way of doing things, the beneficialRead More…
Today Songdove Books joins another blog tour, offering a review of Author, Corine Hyman’s latest Children’s Book: Teaching Christ’s Children About Feeling Angry (paid link to the left) This may be a great children’s book, but the simple and well-presented message is a healthy reminder for us adults as well. Many Christians either don’t knowRead More…
Ok, I’m ticked off! Ticked off at our throw-away society in the so-called modern world! I won’t use the term civilized, because that means different things to different people in different places around the world, and I’m not really sure that many areas of the globe are falling into that category too well right now.

In a dream my daughter shared with me for a second time tonight, she and Isaiah had gone to a youth conference in another town, they went into an auditorium packed full of people. Much was being said and it was unsettling, but she had not paid attention to what exactly was being shared. TheyRead More…
