Our Answer to Prayer is 14 Now

When Amanda was five she prayed for a baby. We told her not to…but she did anyway…quietly. Fourteen and a half years later, we can honestly say that we’re glad she did.

…you don’t appreciate where it’s growing.

I had a lot of fun speaking at the Tillsonburg CRC Ladies Bible Study kick-off dessert social and they even gave me flowers. How cool is that?

Hamilton’s Next Mayor—Our Servant, Our Choice!

chrisb-d&Thanksgiving 004

Along with a few others, I have been praying at mayoral debates across the City of Hamilton.

The purpose is to pray throughout the debates for truth, righteousness and justice to prevail in our city.

Personally, I want a mayor who wants the best for our city, someone with a heart for this city—a servant—someone who is not full of himself, but does know what he is doing.

The King’s heart is in the hand of the Lord; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart. Proverbs 21:1-2 NIV

Let’s give the Lord a humble heart to work with.
