A Legacy of Little Pieces

A Legacy of Little Pieces

- by Brent Musser

Over the last five years I have had the privilege of participating in the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas. According to the website, “The goal of the Atlas is to map the distribution and abundance of Ontario’s breeding birds.” This valuable information can then be used into the future for conservation. I am one volunteer of many, and have contributed only a small amount of data in a very large project. But together our efforts will produce something of value that will last beyond the span of our lives.

Holy Rhythms for a Whole Life

Holy Rhythms for a Whole Life

- by Charleen Jongejan Harder

Most of us seek balance in our lives. We often talk about work-life balance as something that we can “achieve”, as though we can check off that goal as completed, and never have to address it again. In my experience however, balance is fleeting - we achieve balance for a moment, or a brief season, and then something in our circumstance shifts and we need to recalibrate again.  Like a pendulum swinging in a Grandfather clock, balance is something that we pass through again and again.

Remain in my love

- by Herb Sawatzky

John 15:9-12 - “As the father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my father’s commands and remain in his love.  I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: love each other as I have loved you.”

How to talk about church?

How to talk about church?

- by Maxwell Kennel

The church is at an interesting place in its history. We encounter church today, expecting much from it, and yet it has been around for a long time, with so much time and change behind it. When we’re young, we imagine that the church has always been this way: the way we experience it now. Our memories of church may go back over our lifetime, but they rarely go back more than a generation.
