A month ago, while attending a church conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a friend of mine and I visited Peggy's Cove, which is known as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Canada. Truly it was wonderful and beautiful scenery.

In a dark room, peering into a crystal ball, the Mystic delivered the grave news: "Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year." Visibly shaken, the woman took a few deep breaths to compose herself, but she simply had to know.

When people are young, they are usually able to see things better that are near rather than far away. This is called near sightedness.

The idea of near death experiences (NDE) of heaven and God are "wonderful stuff", but "in my opinion, pure fantasy," Dr. Eben Alexander said before the encounter that changed his life. A neuro-surgeon for 25 years, Eben contracted a deadly E.

"Tis the season" has begun in earnest as Black Friday makes a hasty retreat in the face of White Christmas. For me, the dilemma of trying to figure out what to give who has begun.

When the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the West Division Championship title of the Canadian Football League, they didn't touch the trophy. Instead they said that we have one more week and one more game, the Grey Cup is what we want.

Writing weekly articles normally attracts my complete attention; today, however, the annual Grey Cup supersedes all other afternoon thoughts. It's currently half time, the Riders are ahead and I'm seeing Green.

During the recent scandals of the Senators, the Toronto mayor and similar cases before these, the one common response from the people who were directly involved was initially denial.

Last week we commemorated Remembrance Day, a time ranking next to Christmas and Easter in significance to me.
