Is there a Biblical or theological ‘view’ of play? I think not. Examples come to mind: God’s creation of the platypus, for example, or the kangaroo, or the echidna (God seemed to fool around with Australia an awful lot). The Bible does speak about creation and recreation (as in re-creation). This is tied to the…
On June 22, 2021, the Senate of Canada approved Bill C-218, making it legal for Canadians (19+) to participate in mobile sports betting. If you are uninterested in sports, this probably has little effect on you except for the frequent advertisements and commercials from FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, PointsBet and many more. But it’s worth paying…
I’ve been thinking about rules a lot lately: Robert’s Rules of Order, school board bylaws, Church order, labour codes and so on. But I’ve also been watching a lot of sports (oh, my beloved Oilers!

The Paris Summer Olympics will bring together millions of viewers and more than 10,000 athletes from 206 National Olympic Committees.

You know you’re getting old when you can actually remember the last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup. It was 1967 – Canada’s centennial. One way or another, the championship would be Canadian as Toronto squared off against Montreal. But it’s more than just hockey that makes that spring 56 years ago stand out…
On November 23, Canada’s men will kick off against Belgium in our first World Cup appearance since 1986. “I think their chances are pretty good,” predicts Redeemer University soccer coach Meaghan Rudd. “They have good leadership, so it’ll be interesting to see what they can do with that.” Rudd is being kind. The men’s chances…
