The Root of it All
The Root of it All
It’s that time, again.
Yes, Hallowe’en and Remembrance Day have come and gone, and we are “officially” into the Christmas season. Of course, it’s been sneaking up on us for several weeks, now.

Banning Hallowe’en?
Well, today is Hallowe’en ! (Or, for those who prefer the simpler, devolved spelling, Halloween.) I like Hallowe’en. When I was a kid I always enjoyed coming up with a costume and going trick-or-treating.

Reading and Literacy
I love reading. My mother read bed-time stories to me when I was only three or four, and I began to recognize words through repeated readings of my favourite books, including a collection of Dr Suess books that I wish I still had.

Included in the many images of the destruction wreaked by the tornado that struck Goderich, Ontario ("Canada's Prettiest Town) earlier this week is a yellow-brick church missing its roof and parts of the walls, seen below.

Young at heart.
Working with kids is undoubtedly helping me stay young at heart. However, after two weeks of being at Camp, and a third week running a week-long vacation bible school (day camp), I find myself somewhat near exhaustion.
