Psalm 147

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Scripture is a verse containing much emotion: "From the city men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out" (Job 24:12).

The scene is a busy metropolis. Speed. Movement. Noise. Rows of buildings. All that is obvious, easily seen and heard by the city dweller.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes (2-1) are advancing to the second round of the Miles Wolff Cup Playoffs after a 10-3 victory over the Sioux Falls Canaries in the deciding third game of the West Division Series at Blue Cross Park Saturday evening.
 
Box Score
 

Saturday’s 26-21 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the annual Banjo Bowl in front of another capacity crowd of 32,343 at Princess Auto Stadium had so many savoury layers to it.

Most important: not only is it a fifth straight ‘W’ to improve the club’s record to 7-6 – the first time over .500 this season – it keeps them atop the West Division, tied with the B.C. Lions but with a tiebreaker already secured. The Riders, meanwhile, are now 5-7-1 after a 5-1 start to their season.

While it's taken months to heal, a pastor who was shot in the head while preaching on the street is talking about his experience, and God's goodness. 

On November 15, 2023, Hans Schmidt was street preaching at the corner of 51st and Peoria avenue in Glendale, AZ, when someone walked up to him and shot him in the head. 

Psalm 143:10

Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

A grain elevator just north of Carman, Man., was torn down at the end of August, marking the end of an almost century-long era for the community of Barnsley.

Photographer George Penner of West St. Paul has dedicated years to capturing the essence of grain elevators, Ukrainian churches, and railway stations through his lens. His passion for architecture has fueled this hobby throughout his retirement. Penner visited Barnsley over the past few years to photograph the structures, with his most recent visit taking place this June.

Psalm 127

How's it going with you and the kids? Maybe that question doesn't apply to you. You may be single, or you may not have children, or you may have already raised your brood. If so, bear with me while I address those of you who are still in the process of training and rearing.

So, how's it going? What word(s) would you use to describe your overall relationship with your offspring? Challenging? Strained? Pleasant? Impossible? Angry? Threatening? Adventurous? Heartbreaking? Impatient? Exciting? Fun? Busy?
