A Time to be Heard

So there it is, where Enbridge wants to put down its pipe. Have a good look at it and then have a seat. On October 22, come down to the legislative lawn and sit there. Tell Cristy Clark that we don't want the pipe cutting our province in half. It isn't about the money, it is about when the pipe will  rupture - not if but when. We don't want to watch it destroy the environment only to wait for the pipe to blow apart. You just can't clean up that mess, not that Enbridge would do any more than the half efforts they have put into any of the other clean up jobs they have had.

The 22nd. Be there, have a seat and be heard.

God, Good Guy or Evil Overlord?

Jesus of Nazareth, Allah, Elah Shemaya, all names for the same belief, the one and true God.
Almighty, all knowing, merciful, the just, peace, love, all attributes of God.

"Allahu Akbar!" the last words spoken by a suicide bomber, just before his load of explosives rip through a crowd of shoppers at the bazaar.

"God told me to," claims Mark Chapman as John Lennon was buried.

"God is on our side, we are the victims" is claimed while rockets fall on school children in Israel.

Where is the love of God when people use his name to maim the innocent? "In God We Trust?" as his head is dunked below the waterline again.

Allah is merciful? What mercy is there in making children hate? In planting bombs in places where the innocent will be slaughtered? 

God must be hate have a headache of massive proportions listening to all the prayers to him. Half of them ask for healing and happiness, the other half for death and destruction. When did God become such an angry person? Is he really all about killing those who he created? 

Do as you will as it hurts no one. Nice, peaceful and it keeps God from being blamed for your actions

Take a load off

I saw the coolest thing on my walk home this afternoon. For the sake of discovery, I took a different route home. It was hot and sunny, and I was tired and sweaty. Coming up Obed St in Sannich I came across this house. The owners have set up a rest stop for everyone to enjoy.



"Leave a book, Take a book or both". How cool is that? A little sanctuary at the side of the road. It shows just how wonderful a small thing can be.

Have a seat, take a load off and read for a few minutes.
