Getting rid of stuff opens much more capacity to receive and see the generosity of God .

This works both in matters of our interior and exterior preoccupations.

You are very welcome, Kaja. 😊

YouTube video by Global Weirding with Katharine Hayhoe The Bible doesn’t talk about climate change, right?

The algorithms gave a great suggestion for this video from YouTube today. "I read the Scriptures, and that's why I care about climate change". Tremendous video just under 6 minutes by @katharinehayhoe.com. Part of her series called Global Weirding.

Deer tracks in the snow.

In the forests I only occasionally spot deer. In the winter it reminds me of the presence, and how much they are around. There are a lot of deer tracks.

On Hooker Valley Trail in New Zealand

Amazing list of hikes. In 2017 my daughter and hiked the Hooker Valley Trek. The following day we hiked up to Mueller Hut via the Sealey Tarns. Stayed the night at the hut and hiked down the next day. Picture of me on Hooker Valley. Looks like you had much nicer weather. 😀

Offered to drive the teen somewhere on my way out: “nah, i like the bus”

Most Christians, specifically Christian artists, only talk about the pre Jesus version and the healed version of themselves that they aspire to be. They never talk about the in-between because that process is ugly and all of us are still in it.

Great Lakes ice thickness and coverage from the National Weather Service on December 2, 2025.

One of my pastimes is to keep track of the ice coverage on the Great Lakes. It's still early in the season, but nice to ice starting to form already. Colder weather moving in in a few days. Will be interesting to see how much more coverage there will be then.

This is really devastating, Katherine. The 1st I have heard about this.

Sri Lanka declares state of emergency after floods leave hundreds dead and many missing The president says it is the "most challenging natural disaster" in the country's history.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.

We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

She is a wonderful lady, Michele. 😊

My wife dressed as a mailbox at Santa Claus parade.

It was so much fun watching her in the parade, Christine. With the big hill you could see her coming from a long way off. Here is a more closeup photo. She is postmaster at Waubaushene.
I'm doing very well, hope the same with yourself. 😊

My wife coming down the hill dressed as a mailbox at yesterday's Santa Claus parade in Waubaushene. Several children handed her their Santa letters. She is one of Santa's helpers through Canada Post and responds to each letter.

Waubaushene Harbor off of Georgian Bay.

The very first bit of ice is beginning to form on Waubaushene Harbor. On the far tip of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron the water is quite shallow and is usually the 1st to freeze over.

Wow that is amazing, Michele. Really wonderful you were able to be part of those very special occasions.
We have snow now, but it was a good year for monarch butterflies here. Each year I expand my pollinator garden.
We are all doing very well here. 😀

Near the headwaters of the Coldwater River as it flows through Copeland Forest.

A weekday mid November morning is such a wonderful to immerse myself in nature in Copeland Forest. So calm and peaceful. #ColdwaterRiver #Nature
