Of Black Flies and Bug Repellant… Lessons From Cape Breton, Part 9
When it comes to bugs, I'm not the most squeamish female in the world. I recognize that they are God's creation, put here for a purpose, and I try to leave them alone and preserve them in their natural habitat. That, of course, means, "outdoors", and especially, "not...
Follow Me! Do NOT Pass! Lessons From Cape Breton, Part 10
Although our entire stay in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park could be described as nearly perfect, one of the few "flaws" was the fact that the Cabot Trail, which is the primary road around the park and through the Cape Breton Highlands, was under construction....
The Isthmus: Lessons From Cape Breton, Part 11
It was a stormy day on the Atlantic. Though the sun was shining, the winds mercilessly pounded and battered the eastern Cape Breton coastline, driving the crashing the waves onto the drenched sand and rocks of the narrow beach. But that was only on one side of the...
Behind the Church Front… Lessons From Cape Breton, Part 12
It was from the Low Point lighthouse near New Waterford, Nova Scotia, that I first saw it perched atop a hill, about 10 kilometers across the harbour. It looked like a church steeple, and pushing my tiny camera to its maximum zoom, I snapped a picture. "Look!" I said,...

The Light, Part 1
I have a very bad habit this time of year. Because the sun is coming up so late in the morning, I have to take the dog out for her walk while it is still dark. I am cognizant of safety concerns, however; and I am sure to wear a coat with reflector stripes, and I...

Last Tuesday, in "The Light, Part 1", we saw from my bad habit of reading while walking my dog in the dark that when we focus our lights on the world around us, we begin to see things from God's perspective. We see the path in front and the potential traps the devil...
Rising Above the “See” Level! Part 1
"Do the seeing really see?" is an intriguing question asked by the world-famous blind author and lecturer Helen Keller. During one of her lectures, she reminisced to a time where she had asked numerous husbands the colour of their wives' eyes. Despite being in...
Amaziah’s Mistake…And Mine Too… Part 1
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Israel. His story is not so illustrious. In fact, the Bible records the following of him: "Amaziah did what was pleasing in the Lord's sight, but not wholeheartedly." (2 Chron. 25:2 NLT). Nonetheless, part of Amaziah's story weighed...
Amaziah’s Mistake…And Mine Too… Part 2
Last Saturday, in Amaziah's Mistake Part 1, we saw how relying on ourselves causes heartache and pain; but when we rely completely on God, He comes through for us. As a result of this lesson, I had resolved in my heart that I would rely on Him through my upcoming...
