St. Paul’s Outreach … A Sacrament of God’s grace
For my musings over these last few weeks of our time together, I’ll be focussing on things to celebrate and give thanks for and hopes for the future. Today, I want to acknowledge and give thanks for St. Paul’s outreach ministry. Since I arrived at St. Paul’s, I have been pleased with how outward looking […]
The Legend lives on
This past week a Canadian legend died, Gordon Lightfoot. There is no doubt that his songs, music and the stories he told through them were and are legendary. The Edmond Fitzgerald and The Canadian Railroad Trilogy come to mind. I remember our high school choir performing the Canadian Railroad Trilogy and I was delighted when […]
“… And it was good”
This week is earth week which is an intentional time for us to focus on God’s gift of creation and God’s call to us to be stewards of all we have been blessed with. As I look around us and take in the beauty and splendor of creation, I am in awe and how magnificent this […]
“So, how about that weather”
Wow, what a change over these past few days when it’s come to the weather. Over last weekend I was wearing shorts, a golf shirt and my Birkenstocks. Mid week I needed a wind breaker and by the end of the week I was wearing a winter coat when I walked the dog. We’ve had […]
“Alleluia!! Christ is Risen!!”

“Take Not Your Holy Spirit From Me”
In my musings throughout Lent I am reflecting on Psalm 51 verses 10 to 12 … “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me […]
Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence
In my musings throughout Lent I am reflecting on Psalm 51 verses 10 to 12 … “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy […]
“Renew A Right Spirit Within Me”
As I started last week, in my musings throughout Lent I will reflect on Psalm 51 verses 10 to 12 … “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of […]
