I had two reactions to Travels in the Scriptorium by Paul Auster (Henry Holt, 2007). The first – and perhaps thus the truest- came right when I finished reading it. Peter and I were on the ferry, on our way home. I closed the book and set it down on my lap. Peter looked up… Continue reading Book Review – Travels in the Scriptorium by Paul Auster

Smuggler Cove Hike
Smuggler Cove is a short hike through a provincial park, about ten minutes away from us. Peter and I hiked through the park about two years ago and went back again on Saturday to enjoy a gorgeous day of sunshine. The path starts out rough but groomed with boardwalks taking you across the marshy sections.… Continue reading Smuggler Cove Hike

And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the Heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the Heavens to give light upon the Earth." And it was so.… Continue reading Signs of Spring

International Women’s Day – A Book List
March 8th is International Women's Day. I am very aware that I live in one of the best times and places to be a woman. No, it's not perfect and there is much work left to be done, but I'm also very, very fortunate. In honour of this day, I thought I would share with… Continue reading International Women’s Day – A Book List
Rejoice and Give Thanks
First signs of spring outside of my front door. I can't tell you how happy snowdrops make me every year. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 This was a verse our pastor referenced in his sermon… Continue reading Rejoice and Give Thanks
