October 13, 1979 - the day we both robbed the cradle!

โ€˜What will go wrong, will go wrong;
What will go right, will go right.
Push come to shove,
It's all about love;
The sight of your smile fills my heart with light.โ€™

โ€˜When (Jesus) saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.โ€™

I first noticed John Lodge in the mid 1970s as half of a duo with his Moody Blues band mate Justin Hayward. Of course, his biggest fame was with the Moody Blues, but with or without them, he was a giant. Rest in peace and rise in glory, John Lodge.

I suspect there are a lot of us G and M subscribers on this forum. Iโ€™m happy when they bring posts to my attention. I donโ€™t bother to click on NY Times or Washington Post links, because Iโ€™m not a subscriber, but Iโ€™d never say they shouldnโ€™t post links.

I get that this is politically expedient, but it seems the liberals are every bit as happy to leaving a disaster for their children to deal with in the area of climate change as they are in the area of finance and deficits.

Another example of how Carney and his government have completely abandoned the issue of urgent climate action that we were all given to believe he was so committed to.

Iโ€™m a churchgoing Canadian Christian and I certainly donโ€™t feel persecuted. Most mainline Canadian churches donโ€™t push the MAGA line.
