Unfortunately, yes. In Alberta we've even seen snow in August! Thankfully it's meant to get back to about 21°C/70°F later this week.

I've always appreciated that the children's hospital is just up the hill from where my oldest plays football, but I never wanted to make the short trip. Today we did. He's gonna be okay, but it's going to be tough for him not to play any sports for a few months.

I started getting greys in my early 30s, and have embraced my 'silver streak'. If I could afford them, I might get some highlights occasionally, not to cover the greys, just because I like the look.

In Christ there is neither male nor female. For all are one in Christ. Churches that distinguish “roles” between male & female are not in Christ. At least that’s what the Apostle Paul says.

This is near where I grew up, and so similar to the views from the cliff I could walk to from my home in the woods. Love how well this captures the absolutely stunning autumn colours from the cliffs.

Ladies: can you share some of the dumb things Christian men (or even other women) have said to you specifically about Eve and how it relates to you and/or all women? I’m doing some research here.

After about fifteen years of managing the kids' medical appointments solo, their dad has abruptly taken an interest. As I inform him about upcoming physicals and optometrist, orthodontist, and pediatrician appointments, the conversation feels uncannily like Abbott & Costello's "Who's On First"

Just reflecting on the reality that the most consistent and invasive messaging Albertans are getting from our provincial government is about separating from Canada and joining gambling apps.

I was born into a family of jocks and spent most of my life in the world of sport. It's why it pains me so, so much that those spaces are so often poisoned by toxic masculinity. Initiatives like this give me hope, though! CU Athletes wrote short stories for boys on healthy masculinities. Go Ravens!

Love it! When I lived in Ottawa I crossed the river into Quebec to buy a bike off Kijiji. Unlike the woman I'd been emailing with, her husband who was home didn't speak English, so we somehow bartered with him in French and me in broken Spanish. Enjoy your time in Old Montreal!

I especially miss Ontario every October. I took this photo of the canal on my regular bike route to Carleton University thirteen years ago.

When I was a support worker for disabled adults and brought to church some who wanted to attend, the pastor's wife chided me for them being a "distraction" 😩 I love that your church is intentional about being welcoming and accessible for all. This is a large focus of my brother's work with churches.
