My canoe is 10 years old now. I bought it for my 2001 trip down the MacKenzie River. When we moved to Montreal in 2003, my father brought my Old Town Discovery 169 to his place in New Brunswick and I’m glad he did (though I regularly wish I had a canoe to play with … [Read more…]
A group of men from churches in Albert County, NB were the first team received by Impact Ministries in Guatemala when we arrived in the fall of 2005. Many of them attend the Hillsborough Baptist Church so I decided to visit them on Sunday. The building they meet in is over 100 years old and … [Read more…]
Now nifty is that? I want one too! Acadia’s corner is in Cap-Pelé, NB.
I visited the Moncton Seventh-Day Adventist Church on August 6 with my ever faithful son and my father and his girlfriend. This is the first congregation I attended as a child in 1980. The church built a new building in 1995, their third meeting place since they were established in 1892. We joined the Sabbath … [Read more…]

Being 6 now, he is capable of producing a production. This one consisted of three parts: A dramatic production (which I insisted … [Read more…]
I have to credit Amber who paused our trip to Prince George for 75 minutes so that I could continue my adventure through Christianity. She walked through the town of Banff with Acadia while I and my faithful son Blaise attended Rundle Memorial United Church. I was late, again, because I missed the exit off … [Read more…]
I recognized yesterday how colourful my front bumper was after driving 2000 km from Fort Qu’Appelle, SK to Smithers, BC. Thank you bugs!
On July 10th, I attended St. George’s Orthodox Church in Regina with some friends. It is certainly the most original service I’ve partaken in and in a rather surprising way, it was refreshing – not something I anticipated in 1500 year old liturgy. I was late again (thanks to Chris, again ;)). We were invited … [Read more…]
