The presents have been opened. Most of the turkey has been eaten.

Encounters with the living God inevitably bring fear.

An important part of living with God in recovery is coming to an accurate view of what went wrong in our relationships and doing our part to make things right.

On Remembrance Day we honour veterans who fought for peace and freedom in World Wars, the Korean War, and more recently in Middle East conflicts.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
