Do you want to help someone who is depressed?
I am not an expert. I offer spiritual care, but not medical care. Although I have visited, supported and prayed for people struggling with mental illness, I do not have any fancy certificates to hang on my office wall saying … Continue reading

I have been thinking about dirt lately. Because if you drive near my house you will see a lot of it. Just north of our neighbourhood, underneath huge dump trucks and excavators, there are acres of dusty brown earth. For … Continue reading

A tragedy of zucchini proportions
Yes, disaster has come to my garden. And it is not pretty. Our family has been away for ten days, and we are indebted to G. who came every single day to water the garden. Having come through a hot, … Continue reading
Uh oh. Trouble.
Turns out not everybody thinks our front yard vegetable garden is such a good idea. N., a Technical Assistant in Engineering and Construction for the Town of Oakville, paid me a visit today. He told me that there had been a complaint about … Continue reading
