Spring is Only a Few Months Away

That’s my granddaughter…isn’t she a darling?

I Know There is a God because…

Could a telescope just happen? Or would someone have to make a telescope? Given a lot of time, like a billion years, could a telescope develop from one tiny bit of metal.

Creation calls for a creator.

Design demands a designer.

The universe is one very complicated ever-expanding design made of billions of complex systems.

The universe points to God.

I posted this one on my fridge.

"It's very fast-paced. The book was over before I could finish reading it."

Book a Speech Now

Public speaking is thrilling, like riding a roller coaster or skiing a big hill, only safer. I enjoy the challenge. I even like that nervous stomach thing that happens just before the speech. I love making the audience laugh, hearing applause and selling books. It's all good.

Last year, after two years of training with Toastmasters International, I accepted my first booking, "Bedtime Stories" at a Ladies Conference. This was followed by "the parent speech" at my daughter's grade eight graduation, and a sermon at church.

Then a kick-off speech for the Tillsonburg Christian Reformed Church Ladies' Bible Study on James and a speech on Truth  at the ladies mid-week Oasis at West Highland Baptist Church in Hamilton....

What They Told Me Afterward
Thank you for coming to speak to us this morning. Everything you said was a good reminder and affirmation of what God's plan is for our lives and God-willing, an eye opener for those ladies who have not as of yet made a commitment to the Lord.

Thank you Marian denBoer for speaking to our group in Tillsonburg. You were inspiring, witty and very relevant. Looking forward to reading your book. God Bless.

I Lack Compassion, False or Otherwise

“When a cat cries over a rat, it's a case of false compassion.”

Chinese Proverb

According to Dictionary.com, compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.

I have come to the conclusion that I lack compassion, false or otherwise.

I see misfortune and suffering as an opportunity to recognize what God can do in that situation. I don’t often become deeply sympathetic or sorrowful.

The way I see it: God can fix anything. He’s the great healer.

But, God is compassionate.

Jesus had compassion when he walked the earth. He had compassion and healed people. If you study Jesus’ ministry you soon realize compassion seems to be the prerequisite for healing.

I’m praying for His compassion.

Why I Need Jesus

I can’t save myself.

Canada is a Christian Country

Canada was founded as a Christian country.

God says in his Word,

Know, therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him. Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.

Deuteronomy 7:10 (NIV)

There is too much at stake to allow ourselves to strip our great country of its Christian heritage.
