Check out the Palm Sunday sermon I preached on shame and honor (to honor Canada, that probably should be honour!).  I’ve been working on this theme for some time – you can listen to the sermon or download the text at http://www.sermoncloud.com/kindersley-alliance/majestic-humility-john-1212-19/.

Here are the words for the song I wrote for the sermon (Sunday morning at 4:00 am!!):

Branches waved in fame

His body pierced in shame

Jesus took your past

Yes, he holds you fast

Leave you hurts in His hands

Set aside your small plans

Go out on a limb

Cause you’re honored by Him

One of those days where sun shines and the forecast is bright – that’s a good day.

We were dropping off a vehicle to have an oil change today.  8:00 in the morning.  Not early, but not great for late risers.

As I approached the counter, I cheerfully greeting the service lady.  That, I’m finding, is not always a great thing to do for those whose sleep is still being disturbed even though their eyes are open.

She responded well, explaining she was not a morning person.  The car will have the work done and the repairs made.  Meanwhile a chat with some of those around revealed that another lady would be glad to trade her husband – he’s up way too early in the morning. 

As I walked out, I wished them a “good day.”

And that truly is my hope – for all of you today.

Well, the sun was out yesterday and we were up to 17 degrees (in Celcius – I realize in Fahrneheit that would still be deemed cold!).

The front lawn is drying out – I will soon be out with the rake and lawn mower.  In fact, maybe today??

Our usual yearly clean-out-the-sewer-system is happening today.  And we can begin to once again fill the pipes with who-knows-what until next year rolls around!

The inside of the house will be up for work.  The basement store room stash has grown over the last 10 years.  Time to thin that out.

And, of course, standing in the sunlight yesterday and chatting with our neighbour reminded me that life is good – and spring is here!

Spring is here.

Well, I’m off with my wife to put up some wallpaper today.  Not a lot – but then my experience is not great either.  I look forward to a steep learning curve, paste under my nails and blurry eyes trying to get the pattern right.

Now, that’s a day!!
