    This Lady Can Sing–

    When people say someone has the gift of music I sometimes wonder what they mean by that. Well that was answered when I first heard Candice Glover sing. She comes from a different world. She had tried out for American Idol three times and on the third try she won it all. Candice comes from a family that is as grass roots as you can get.

    Creation

    I am sitting in my loft on a beautiful evening in Vancouver B.C. I am looking out over the water at the mountains and I am thinking what a place Terry and I live in. They call it Super Natural British Columbia.
    Today I was thinking, how complex nature is. The fact that we are on this ball called Earth and it is spinning and moving and it is so precise that if one little minor thing goes wrong it is over as far as this earth is concerned. So the age-old argument if you see something that is of great design there must be a designer. I am not a scientist but logic does work for me.

    A View From The Top!

    If you are afraid of heights you may not want to view this video. My question is simple, what kind of person would work here? The people putting the final touches on the Freedom Tower are a special breed. I have trouble riding on a roller coaster I cannot imagine working where these people work.

    DON”T QUIT

    HE KEY TO LIFE IS TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON EVEN WHEN THE KEEPING ON IS DIFFICULT. WE WERE NEVER PROMISED AN EASY LIFE BUT WE WERE PROMISED THAT WE CAN ENDURE AND WE CAN ACHIEVE A WHOLE LOT IF WE DO NOT QUIT.

    I AM A GOOD EXAMPLE, I JUST MADE IT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. MY SPELLING IS TERRIBLE AND MY ABILITY TO WRITE A PARAGRAPH IS A CHALLENGE.

    A Gospel Choir Surprises Simon Cowell

    With all of the news recently I thought we could use some inspiration. What better way to do that then with a Gospel choir. This is a group that appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. It is amazing what music can do. Music crosses so many barriers. Perhaps if we could just get nations to start singing together we could start to see some unity.

    We will not fear or be intimidated

    In light of the Boston Bombings the stories of inspiration are now coming forth. The idea of people running into danger to help others is inspiring to say the least. I am always touched by how the police and other public service people reach out during a time of trouble.

    A Culture At Risk–Gordon Pennington

    The question we need to ask is, are we a culture at risk? Have we lost the wonder? Do we just want to be distracted? We are a nation of consumers but what are we consuming? When you hear the language, when you view the media in all its forms you wonder about the culture of America and I might add North America.

    A Great Gospel Song

    The song is entitled, ” Oh I need Him,” and it is recorded by Andre Crouch and the Disciples. I had the honour of being in the recording studio when this song was first recorded. What I did not realize is the young man singing the song was going through one of the toughest times of his life. The cry for help is heard in this song…..and every-time I hear it I think of the times I have needed Him. Sometimes in life we do not know how we are going to make it. The pain is much the sorrow is too great. Sometimes it is our own failures and sometimes it is the result of what others have done. Have you ever been in that dark place where you have no idea how you will survive another day. Perhaps your own failure or the loss of a loved one or perhaps a tragic illness comes out of no where and leaves you or someone you love on deaths door.

    Canadian Tenors Surprised by Celine Dion

    It may be my age or perhaps I am just cheesy but I like Celine Dion. I also like the Canadian Tenors and I guess Celine Dion likes them also. In the middle of their rendition of Hallelujah guess who shows up on stage? Well easy guess Celine Dion enters and she does surprise the boys. This is a concert I would have loved to be at.

    EASTER….. The One Event In History That Changed Everything!

    This is the Easter season. Personally I think Easter is one of the toughest things to get my head around. A loving God sends his son to be beaten, humiliated, nailed to a cross and then he takes the sins of all mankind on him dies and goes to hell conquers it and makes a way for humanity to regain it’s relationship with the creator.

    North America’s Moral and Spiritual Crisis –Part 3

    Here is part three of an interview I did years ago. It is amazing how relevant this interview is for today.
    You would think we would have learned some things from our past failures. It seems like we have just invented new ways to fail. The moral climate in North America has dropped to an all time low. The riots a couple of years ago in Vancouver uncovered the dark side of a lot of people who you would never think would take part in such crimes. We have seen the same in Toronto and Montreal.
