All Psyched Up: Growth
By Linda Hancock on July 27th, 2024
Connie Kaldor is a well-known song writer and folk singer who originates from Regina, Sask. I love the beautiful lyrics and smooth rhythms of her music which remind me of the simple things in life. Connie has an excellent sense of humour which she uses in her concerts. I remember once hearing her state that ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!By the Way: It’s not always how or when our prayers are answered that sets us free
By Scott Raible on July 27th, 2024
Acts 12 has one of my favourite accounts of the early church with an appearances of an angel and a prison break. Peter has recently been imprisoned by Herod shortly after James, the brother of John, was executed by the sword. The church responds by “earnestly” praying for Peter, and the response is supernatural, as ... Read More »

By Dr. Gifford-Jones and Diana Gifford-Jones on July 26th, 2024
This column should make every doctor, nutritionist, health care worker, and anyone else who is sane shake their heads. A Coney Island competition to devour the most hotdogs in ten minutes should be the shame of New York and the promoters who support it! Why would people want to ruin their bodies by participating? Why ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!By the way: The Bible ‘woke’ me up
By Reverend Dr. Nancy Cocks on July 20th, 2024
Three years ago, a friend told me I was “woke”. He didn’t mean to dismiss me. Instead, he recognized that my values reflect the kind of social conscience African Americans (who originated the term) develop when they come to terms with the implicit and explicit racism they’ve experienced in the US for so long. The ... Read More »

By LINDA HANCOCK on July 20th, 2024
Years ago, when I worked in a church in Saskatoon, we had a minister who was in charge of Pastoral Care. We jokingly called him “Shoe leather” because his job was to go from place to place to meet with people. He was paid to walk and talk! Sometimes Shoe leather would be at the ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Common Sense Health: Restoring Hope Is Job One
By Dr. Gifford-Jones and Diana Gifford-Jones on July 19th, 2024
It’s happened before, and it was only a matter of time until it happened again. A brutal act of violence against a candidate for political office shatters the hope that reasonable people can exercise the democratic process. As has also happened before, these events cause a surge of short and long-term impacts on the health ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Viva Vitality: Quit smoking – and stay quit!
By Rita Aman on July 19th, 2024
For some people, quitting smoking is easy, but staying quit is the challenge. There are those who successfully quit and then six months later, a year and a half later, or five years later, they start smoking again. I recently met a gentleman who started smoking again after seven years of being smoke free. He ... Read More »

By Josh Reimer on July 18th, 2024
How did you start your day today? If you’re like many people, you were abruptly awoken from slumber by an alarm – whether plugged into the wall or perhaps on your phone that is charging. You may have quietly crept out of the room and moved softly through your house, waiting to turn on a ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Science Smarts: We’re building clouds today!
By Patty Rooks on July 13th, 2024
WOW, to say it has been hot, I think would be an understatement! Personally, I prefer it to be a bit cooler and often seek out the shade, or look up to see if a cloud may be coming over to provide a bit of relief from the intense heat when I am out an ... Read More »
