Forrest Frank wasted no time while on bed rest these past two weeks. 

During that time, Forrest wrote, recorded and released two songs, "Gods Got My Back" and "Lemonade," a collaboration with The Figs.

The first single quickly made its way up the charts, while "Lemonade" hit #1 in all genres the first day it hit the airwaves. 

"What is happening??????" said Forrest in a post on social media. "And the day it drops, my back is suddenly better??!?!!!!??!!!!!"

Christian artist Hannah Kerr and her husband, Jason Earley, received a happy surprise when their son decided to come a bit ahead of schedule.

On July 29 at 8:58 a.m., Hannah gave birth to Owen Shepherd Earley, three and a half weeks early. 

"He's doing amazing," said Kerr in a post on social media. "He just couldn’t wait to join the party!"

The Winnipeg Goldeyes (31-43) opened a four-game series in dominant fashion Monday, posting a 13-4 victory over the Sioux Falls Canaries (42-33) at Sioux Falls Stadium.
 
For the first time in four games, the Goldeyes found themselves trailing early after a bases-loaded walk to Mike Hart in the bottom of the first scored Jabari Henry to give the Canaries a 1-0 lead.
 

A man in his 20s and another in his 70s were found dead in unrelated water incidents on Saturday during the long weekend.

On Aug. 2, around 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, Steinbach RCMP were called about a possible drowning in the RM of Reynolds, at Reynolds Ponds.

A 70-year-old man from Ontario had been swimming when all of a sudden, he couldn't be found. RCMP arrived shortly after the call, as bystanders were continuing to search for the man. 

Thousands of people have fled from a First Nation in northern Manitoba Monday as wildfires burned closer and closer to the community. 

The Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, also called Nelson House, issued a full evacuation order Sunday in response to the blazes, as flames threatened to cut off road access and muddied air quality.

It was upgraded one day later to a mandatory evacuation. The community's roughly 4,000 residents were to register with the Cree Nation before busing to the Thompson Airport, about 75 kilometres away, to fly to Winnipeg.

Labour experts say another postal service strike is unlikely after unionized Canada Post workers rejected their employer's latest round of offers in a forced vote and the parties mull their next steps.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said Friday that the roughly 55,000 members represented by the union shot down the Canada Post's latest proposal, which would've seen wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years and restructuring to add part-time workers to the deal.

Psalm 73:26

One of the hardest things for you and me to do is own up to our own failures.

Whether we're talking to our spouses, our kids, our employers, or with our Lord Himself, it goes against the grain to come clean and admit our offenses. The knee-jerk response every time is to employ defense mechanisms: to deny, to excuse, to rationalize, to reinterpret our shortfalls.
