Tonight our local hockey team is in the playoffs for Junior Hockey in Saskatchewan.  The game is here in Kindersley.

Can’t get the game on our local station.  But the Humboldt hockey play-by-play is available on a radio station over in their neck of the woods.

Funny thing — the internet now lets us listen to the game even though we were unable to attend.  3:45 left in regulation and the opposing team is ahead 3-2. 

Let’s see what tomorrow’s newscast will yield.  My guess?  A seventh game in Humboldt on Tuesday night — Kindersley finally wins and we move on to the next stage of playoffs.  Check back in the next few days and see how things go!!

The small book of only 16 chapters has been around for millenia.  Maybe for that reason you would expect that a few people would have read it.  And perhaps of that few (or many), one or two would have been impacted.  And maybe just one took it to heart??

Well, in this case, the German language was affected when Martin Luther decided to translate this book along with a number of others into the German language (which at that time had not been stanardized).  Abolition of slavery and prison reform were hurried along by those who were affected by John Wesley.  And the list goes on.

These people go back to an experience that changed their lives.  And included in that experience is the book of Romans.  Funny how a Bible book can change lives and change society.

But it has.

And I’d love to see it’s message once again change our lives and our society!

Not often I listen to a hockey game — on the radio. 

Our local junior hockey team is moving ahead in the playoffs.  They are the cinderella team this year.  The touted Bronco team is being defeated by our Klippers.  In the previous playoff series hard fought play had brought our team to the next level.  Each time there was new confidence.  And now . . .

The game play-by-play is actually getting exciting.  See you tomorrow — hopefully we will have won!!

For the last while we have recuperated at home and done little hospitality. 

These last few days we have hosted meals and people for overnight accomodations.  Although this has been a bit tiring, the inspiration to the soul is well worth it.  An afternoon nap is helpful.  Good food and company fills one’s reserves.

So, all in all — bring it on!!
