Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, who was visited by the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. I think the story is really about a person who is given a second chance to respond differently to the message of Christmas and to express generosity, compassion and love [...]

I have a huge purse that my husband calls a bowling bag. I’ve taken to calling it my “tickle trunk”, as a tribute to the show “Mr. Dress-Up”, that I used to watch as a child. While it is wonderfully useful and versatile, it can become a bottomless pit containing seemingly everything but the kitchen [...]

Grace Fox in her book, ‘Moving from Fear to Freedom’, tells this story. On November 17, 1999 Ann was meeting with a client in her print shop when the phone rang.

Key Bible Verses: A patient man has great understanding. (Proverbs 14:29) A key principal in chess is: do not reach out to play the first move that pops to mind. It makes no sense to snatch at a piece and quickly move it, only to discover too late that you are making a horrible mistake. [...]

Key Bible Verses: Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. (Matthew 22:15) In one of my early chess games I fell into a trap that is known as the “scholars mate”. It is a fascinating opening that takes advantage of a weak pawn. The end result was that [...]
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9
If you are not disciplined
(and everyone undergoes discipline),
then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers
who disciplined us
and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit
to the Father of our spirits and live!
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel learned
that the decree had been published,
he went home to his upstairs room
where the windows opened toward Jerusalem.
Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed,
giving thanks to his God,
just as he had done before.
This Easter CFOT Cadets and Officers had the privilege of participating in a variety of Easter activities and services at Corps in Alberta.
Small goups of Cadets/Officers participated in all aspects of the Easter Services and were also able to spend some valuable time with youth groups. In Calgary tradition, some of our CFOT folks were “white hatted” (see photos below). A wonderful time of worship, outreach and fellowship was had by all.
A big thank you to the Alberta Divsion for hosting us! You have been so gracious to us in sharing your ministries, your homes and your hearts with us…
