I think of a water fall as a type of eternity… watching the water cascading down without ceasing and the sound that never stops. It’s as though it will go on forever and one feels lost in the moment with a desire to keep looking. We can think of the Niagara Falls which virtually never…

How big is your God?
We live in a world where everyone is striving to set new records… be it wanting to climb mountains or simply wanting to be the best in the world… to be a high achiever! Deep down, we all want to be winners, and come out on top. For instance, we love our team and emotionally…

Life in the blood!
There is something inherently powerful in blood, in human blood. For some of us, the sight of blood makes us faint. I recall my eldest son gashing his chin in a toboggan snow tumble. The Resort doctor had to cut in order to do stiches. I watched… then the doctor asked me if I was,…
