Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. (Matt. 10:29 NIV) Recently, I was reading an article about the comprehensive nature of God’s care for creation. Under the heading of God’s sovereignty, the article referenced the quote from…
Sometimes the world forgets to breathe, / so we quietly breathe for her; / we move the leaf blocking the light / from a tiny sapling of fir; / we hush as movements in the trees / cause rustling and the grass to stir; / allow fauna to roam in peace, / their peaceful footsteps soft and sure.
Think of Reepicheep madly paddling in his coracle (and no doubt giggling with glee and curled whiskers) on his way to the Utter East, anticipating a reunion with a Lion he once met. Or think of Elrond, Galadriel and a small host of elves setting out for the farthest western lands to an eternity without…
During the first week of April, four image-bearers hurtled toward the lesser light to swing around it before returning to Earth. The astronauts in Artemis II, including a Canadian, were an important step on humanity’s return to the Moon after about half a century. Future Artemis astronauts hope to land and ultimately to build a…
In the introduction to her final poetry collection, Luci Shaw writes about the slow, winter growth of an amaryllis bulb on her kitchen windowsill. A little further on, she reflects on her own long life: “I can live only one day at a time, and my hope is to live that one day fully and…
Fog. Orphaned rocks.Cataclysmic breakage. Suppose you’re driving through flatland,pierced by three hulking islands of grim basalt,harsh as a diagnosis. And what of the heart, wincing, convicted perhaps,a lonely compulsion, exposed? Moving on, into the foothills,behold the brooding, aeonian glacier—all gougeand surge, as ifunderground stealth sheared,then shifted, vulnerable mass, rehoming the stones: erratics,we call them, earthen…
“A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney in his speech at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, on January 20, 2026. Less than four days later, the federal government announced plans to reduce its workforce and shut down seven research stations…
Today’s sunshine is a welcome sight for winter-weary eyes. A delicate hoarfrost coats every deciduous branch, transforming our side yard into an enchanted silver forest. Under the cerulean sky, ice diamonds glint, randomly scattered across a royal mantle of snow. There’s no denying the glory of winter, even one as long and harsh as this…
What a wonder our universe is! Take light, for example. We can see only a tiny band of the electromagnetic spectrum. At the shorter end are ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays, while at the longer end are infrared light, microwaves, radar and radio. Our atmosphere absorbs many of these wavelengths, preventing them from reaching…
For a long time now, I’ve known that I am a hobbit . . . without the furry feet, of course. My Shire is the Bulkley Valley, specifically Quick, B.C., which isn’t a place at all if you’re reading road signs. But it provides me with a simple life and simple pleasures. If the doctor…
Author Valerie Ellis offers children a unique and playful avenue to know more fully who God is and how much he loves them. In her introduction to Wild Faith, Ellis writes, “God created the world. And though creation can never fully express the wonders of the Lord, sometimes examples from nature can make God’s truth…
