“Past the man as he prayed, came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, the man went down into deep prayer and cried, “Great God how is it that a loving Creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them.”
And out of the long silence, God said, “I did do something. I made you.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!
On Friday we will commemorate the 144th birthday of Canada! We need to be so thankful to those who have given their “blood, sweat and tears” for our nation. We need to remember the pioneers who carved civilized communities out of the wilderness of our vast land; those who cleared the primeval forests and prairies; bridged the rivers and built the roads and railways; planted the crops; constructed cities. Their hard work, determination and faith in the face of extreme difficulties left us a legacy of a peaceful and progressive democratic society. We owe the freedoms and peace we enjoy to their valor and devotion to our country—CANADA! How fortunate we are to be Canadian citizens!
Oh Canada: I see mountains and valleys and rivers and trees--it’s truly Mother Nature’s warehouse.
Our Home and Native Land: A place where families live with dignity, on rich soil that shares food and beauty.
True Patriots: Patriotism: a pride—a privilege to say I, me, an individual, a committee of one, dedicate all of my worldly good to give without self-pity.
Love In All Thy Sons Command: That powerful youth that gives all their love and devotion, holding a standard with a maple leave high in the air. For it’s a symbol of courage and wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts: “Freedom is everybody’s job.”
With Glowing Hearts We See Thee Rise: A warmth that incubates incentive, wisdom that sees beyond superstition and ignorance.
The True North: Sees that compass needle that points to inspiring realities.
Strong: Courage beyond the struggle to find a dream and make it come true.
Free: That right of power for one to live his own life without fears, threats or any sort of retaliations.
From Far and Wide: Not just to the horizon but beyond creeds, protests, and symbols, but with an insight and understanding for all.
Oh, Canada, We Stand On Guard for Thee: Not that we want to flaunt our strength but to be capable of facing the strongest should that enemy appear.
God Keep Our Land, Glorious and Free: That means justice; the principle and qualities of dealing fairly with others.
Oh Canada We Stand on Guard For Thee: We protect and share Thy spirit with logic and reason.
Oh Canada We Stand on Guard For Thee: so we can say to a neighbor, “it’s as much my country as it is yours.” -- Author Unknown
FOOLISH BAGGAGE
“Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us.” -- Hebrews 12:1
In her remarkable book “Teaching a Stone to Talk”, Annie Dillard tells about the ill-fated Franklin Expedition of 1845. The explorers sailed from England to find the Northwest Passage across the Arctic Ocean.
They put aboard their two sailing ships a lot of things they didn’t need: a 1200 volume library, fine china, crystal goblets and sterling silverware for each officer with his initials engraved on the handles. Amazingly, each ship took only a 12-day supply of coal for their auxiliary steam engines.
The ships became trapped in vast frozen plains of Arctic ice. After several months, Lord Franklin died. The men decided to trek to safety in small groups, but none survived.
One story is especially heartbreaking. Two officers pulled a large sled more than 65 miles across the treacherous ice. When rescuers found their bodies, they discovered that the sled was filled with “a great deal of table silver.”
By carrying what they didn’t need, these men contributed to their own failure. But don’t we do the exact same thing? Don’t we drag baggage through life that we don’t need? Evil thoughts that hinder us? Habits that drag us down? Jealousy? Grudges that we won’t let go? Let’s determine to “lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us.” -- David C. Egner
“When the grass looks greener on the other side
of the fence, it may be that they
take better care of it!”
