Goodbye Dear Old Friend.
I lost a very dear old friend this past spring. I first met my friend back in 1992. My wife and I had just moved to Hillsdale, along with our 7 month old baby. Personally I didn’t know anyone…

🧵1/2...I lost a dear friend 6 months ago. Hoping with eulogy I have written will help me through this grieving process. And give me strength to move forward.

Not much sunshine these days here in Canada. Each day brings more beautiful snow. When the sun does come out it is so spectacular. #ForestFriday #GetOutdoors

Article includes Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum. An incredibly well articulated and eloquent speech that could very well be recorded in future history text books as an era defining speech. Proud to be Canadian. 🍁

One venue, two speeches – how Mark Carney left Donald Trump in the dust in Davos
The speeches delivered by the Canadian prime minister and the US president presented a stark contrast in style and substance.

Great Lake ice cover now just over 25%. Much of it on the most shallow lake, Lake Erie. I live on the lee of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron. Still lots of open water which produces heavy snow squalls. #GreatLakes

A very challenging time in history for King George VI to reign as King. Excellent video clip. ⬇️
📚 The Reluctant King × Fiji 1938 Stamp ✉️✨
King George VI in words and on stamp. Sarah Bradford shows the man behind the crown—quiet courage, early struggles, and the first year of his reign. This 1938 Fiji stamp captures that very moment.
📌 Save to start your royal-history collection.

Getting rid of stuff opens much more capacity to receive and see the generosity of God .
This works both in matters of our interior and exterior preoccupations.

In the forests I only occasionally spot deer. In the winter it reminds me of the presence, and how much they are around. There are a lot of deer tracks.

Most Christians, specifically Christian artists, only talk about the pre Jesus version and the healed version of themselves that they aspire to be. They never talk about the in-between because that process is ugly and all of us are still in it.

One of my pastimes is to keep track of the ice coverage on the Great Lakes. It's still early in the season, but nice to ice starting to form already. Colder weather moving in in a few days. Will be interesting to see how much more coverage there will be then.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.
We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

The very first bit of ice is beginning to form on Waubaushene Harbor. On the far tip of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron the water is quite shallow and is usually the 1st to freeze over.
