If you start following me and I see that you follow 14 million other people, I may well block you, for obvious reasons.

I notice that a lot of people who believe in life after death tend to assume that many things will continue just as they are, and this is only natural. In today's gospel, however, Jesus would seem to indicate, that the reality is going to be much more transformational than we've expected.

@mariadunnmusic.bsky.social and her associates put on a wonderful show for us at Festival Place tonight, giving us some old familiar songs and introducing us to some excellent new ones from her brand new CD, 'Hardscrabble Hope'—a copy of which I was happy to bring home with me!

Who are the ‘family’ of Jesus today, who are offended by his radical teaching and refuse to believe him? Is it, sometimes, his church?
Matthew 13.54-58 NTE

My basic problem with this test is in the very first question. My answer would be a simple one: 'Jesus'. I would have thought that was basic Christianity, but apparently not to these guys! Oh well - the rest of it will be a waste of time if they forget 1 Corinthians 3.11!

Gosh, it's hard to take in that Archie Fisher has died. I first heard of him as the author of 'The Witch of the West-mere-lands', which Stan Rogers covered as 'The Witch of the Westmorland'. An amazing Scottish songwriter and performer.

I really appreciated this devotional from 'Forward Day by Day' today. The scripture being referred to is Jesus' parable of the weeds and the wheat: see www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

Americans, you need to stop this man. Or alternatively, since you claim he is ‘the leader of the free world’, you could give equal votes to the citizens of the rest of the free world.

Every time I think the Alberta government couldn't get any more despicable, they prove me wrong.
Charter rights are now suspended because they are inconvenient to the government. Hey, guess what—striking is meant to be inconvenient! It's only effective if it's inconvenient!
