Thoughtful Reflections on Faith and Life
Today is the twenty-fourth anniversary of when Amanda and I got married. Hard to imagine that it has been that long. The building that we were married in and had our reception at is no longer a church and the pastor who married us is no longer with us. It seems like a life-time ago. … Read More “Good News: Twenty-Four Years” »
Yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of when Amanda and I got married. Much has happened since that snowy day in St Catharines, Ontario. Even the building that we got married in is no longer a church. We have lived in many cities and a couple of provinces. Between us we have worked numerous jobs and … Read More “Good News: 23 Years of Marriage” »
This past week, Amanda and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. There is no way that we could describe these past two decades as boring. We have had some rough times and painful experiences. But we have come out the other side with our love stronger than ever. In many ways we are having our … Read More “Good News: 21 Years” »
Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. Twenty years ago, just after a big snow storm, Amanda and I were married at what was then Central Gospel Temple in St Catharines. Some of the family that celebrated with us are no longer with us and we also have new family joining us. I found it interesting … Read More “20 Years of Marriage!” »

It was a cold February day, just after a snow storm that we pledged ourselves to each other at Central Gospel Temple. Here we are back in St Catharines after so much change. Some of it difficult … Read More “Good News: I Love My Wife” »

We had a fantastic worship service, with guest speaker Dr. Gary Nelson, of Tyndale University College and Seminary. Every part of the service came together nicely, respecting our past and looking toward our future. The service also … Read More “Good News: 185th Anniversary!” »
Family Day is the newest holiday in our neck of the woods but it has quickly become one of my favourites. It’s not just a day off work but it is a time to reflect on and enjoy family. Family Day is actually tomorrow but that is not the only thing. Tomorrow is my 18th … Read More “Good News: Family Day Weekend” »
Today is Amanda and my 17th wedding anniversary. Seventeen years ago on this day we were recovering from a snow storm that left me stuck in my parents’ driveway, while Amanda (wearing her veil) was pushing some other guy who was also stuck. Today, we have a very un-Canadian February day with spring-like weather. But … Read More “Good News: 17 Years!” »
Today is the 15th wedding anniversary for my wife and I. I am most definitely blessed to have Amanda as my wife. She is an incredible woman. We are not in a position to do anything too extravagant this year (for our 10th, we renewed our vows in Florida). But what is important is that … Read More “Happy Anniversary!” »
