Duggar tragedy

Okay I know this is all over the internet and other media like TV, so here's my response to this. Yes what happened was terrible and I hope the girls involved are okay. What people need to remember is that Josh Duggar was 14 when this happened, a minor himself. How is he now being labelled a child molester? That's like saying someone who used to drink heavily 12 years ago is still a drunk today, or someone who once stole a few things 12 years ago is still a thief, or someone who cheated on a test 12 years ago is still a cheater today. From what I've read, Josh is not that way today - doing what he did 12 years ago. If he was then people would have a right to be upset. Why his parents waited a year to report it didn't help yes, if he was to have been charged it would have been as a minor. I feel for the guy because he is not that teen today. God forgives, it is men who seems to not be able to let things go. The whole thing about the show being pulled just seems like it was an excuse to pull the show. Imagine what a testimony it could have been on the show to deal with this revelation and how the family deals with it.

I guess we'll never know except what they Tweet.


I can't imagine as a dad how I would deal with a similar situation, but as they have already testified, it made them draw closer to God than ever before as they walked the dark journey together. Pray for them at this time as there seems to be a witch hunt out for any Christian based show.

Summer closing in fast!

Yes, summer is closing in fast! We're on the May long weekend celebrating Victoria Day. If you don't know what Victoria Day is about, check this out...


So yes we take time to honour a past monarch for the British Commonwealth which still includes Canada even though we're our own country. Victoria Day is known as the unofficial start to summer. We celebrate the day which is great, do we take as much time to celebrate God? In my on life I will admit there have been times where God has been on the back burner replaced by something else like a great camping trip or movie release. It's fine to celebrate the day, but we need to keep things in perspective. 

That said, I will take some time to rest this weekend, do some cleaning, some gardening, see some friends, etc... But I will make sure the business doesn't replace God. 

Have a great holiday weekend!

One day...

One day...

God will set things right. Sin will be no more, temptation will be gone, fighting, wars, sickness, death will all be gone. 

One day...

The Lion will lie down with the lamb, children and snakes, dogs and cats...

One day, I will have a smarter head on my shoulders than I do now. One day peace will reign supreme. One day, Christian won't have to "hide" their faith because the law says you can't share it or risk being fired. One day we will see Jesus face to face! I can't wait for that day! 

One day...
