I recall Dr. Roussin saying on Monday that the new public health orders would be made public with some time to spare for people to digest them. About 31 hours to go before they come into effect. Haven't seen them yet.

Despite the new health restrictions, the most unpopular game of dodgeball ever, continues at public secondary schools. Apparently Covid behaves differently in schools than in other places. It must wait in the school yard until the end of the day and otherwise play hooky. 1/

"While we anticipate #Easter Sunday and the joy that is to come, it is necessary to contrast the hope found in the #Resurrection with the sorrow and suffering found in Jesus' death on the cross." - Dr. @patrickfriesen, "5 Songs for Good Friday" sbcollege.ca/blog/3230-5-son…

“When we enter into the poor and powerless place of silence where Christ seeks our company, and not our performance, our soul has a chance to reawaken to the presence of God.” Rob Peterson quoted by @Prestonpouteaux – at Steinbach, Manitoba

If [communion] seems to become "special", it is being celebrated too infrequently; the Supper is to be the ordinary fellowship of the church. — Jenson
Still just about the best quote I’ve ever read; it’s basically my motto for everything I think, write, and teach on — “Concepts create idols; only wonder comprehends anything. People kill one another over idols. Wonder makes us fall to our knees.” —#GregoryofNyssa

I'm convinced that in the Church today, we need less spotlights, fog machines, formulas and simply more humility and dependence on the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

In light of Bill Hybels, we don't need to re-instate the Billy Graham rules. "Women weren't coming on to him...he was making advances toward them." Let's protect women by respecting them, not sequestering them. bit.ly/2HnY9zE
