Confident Contentment

Psalm 143:10

When Christ becomes our central focus—our reason for existence—contentment replaces our anxiety as well as our fears and insecurities.

This cannot help but impact three of the most prevalent joy-stealers in all of life.

1. He broadens the dimensions of our circumstances. This gives us new confidence...

2. He delivers us from preoccupation with others. This causes our contentment level to rise...

3. He calms our fears regarding ourselves and our future. This provides a burst of fresh hope on a daily basis.

"Welcome home to everyone," Deputy Mayor Alison Dallas-Funk said in a Facebook video Wednesday morning.

Creativity with a backhoe clears fallen rocks from tourist-destination tunnel

A well-known cave-like tunnel that attracts boaters to eastern Manitoba has reopened thanks to some ingenuity involving a backhoe, a grappling bucket and a crew removing fallen rock from a tight, gorge-like opening.

The tunnel between Caddy Lake and South Cross Lake, just north of the Trans-Canada Highway and west of the Ontario boundary, is the first of two cave-like tunnels along a popular water route for people in canoes, kayaks and small motorboats.

How a morning commute and a simple prayer led to 25 years of Christian radio in Manitoba

Twenty-five years ago, a local Manitoban woman asked God for a Christian radio station, and He answered quicker than she ever expected. 

"I was going to work one morning, I start work at 7:15, and I always listen to the radio," says Anne, an avid CHVN listener. "I was getting tired of listening to secular music."

In September 2000, Anne asked God for a change.

Manitoba eyes three options to improve intersection where crash killed 17

The Manitoba government is moving closer to changing a highway intersection where a bus crash killed 17 people, but there is controversy over the plan.

The province is holding an open house tonight in Carberry, west of Winnipeg, not far from where a minibus carrying 24 seniors tried to cross the Trans-Canada Highway and was struck by a semi-trailer in 2023.

The province has discussed three options: widening the median, turning the intersection into a roundabout, or banning left turns onto the highway, which would force people to turn right before making a U-turn.

Steady May inflation figures don't make the case for rate cuts: economists

May inflation figures showed marginal improvements in some of the Bank of Canada's closely watched price figures — a step in the right direction, some economists say, but likely not enough to convince the central bank to cut interest rates.

The annual pace of inflation held steady at 1.7 per cent last month as cooling shelter costs helped tame price pressures, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.
