Ecclesiastes 4:9

There's an old Swedish motto that hangs in many a kitchen: "Shared joy is a double joy. Shared sorrow is half a sorrow."

The secret of survival is not simply enjoying life's joys and enduring its sorrows, it is in sharing both with others.

We gain perspective by having somebody at our side. We gain objectivity. We gain courage in threatening situations. Having others near tempers our dogmatism and softens our intolerance. We gain another opinion. We gain what today, in our technical world, is called "input."

The radio landscape in Estevan is about to change.

Our local radio stations have continually championed our communities, providing local information and a platform for community voices and organizations, along with entertaining hosts, great music, and relevant daily news coverage.  

That will continue to be better than ever, and what will change will be exciting for Estevan and the southeast.

Romans 15:7

If you don't get your way, get over it, get on with life.If you don't get your way in a vote at a church, get over it. The vote was taken (if the church has integrity, the vote was handled with fairness), now get on with it. Just press on.

And don't rehearse the fight or the vote year after year. The work of God slows down when we are not big enough to take it on the chin and say, "We lost!"

Having been raised in the South, I didn't know the South lost the Civil War until I was in junior high school...and even then it was debatable among my teachers.

Proverbs 28:26

Psalm 119:105

A healthy fear of God will do much to deter us from sin. When we have a proper fear of the living Lord, we live a cleaner life.

Any born-again person who sins wilfully has momentarily blocked out his fear of God. You and I can do that.

When we actively engage in sin, we consciously put aside what we know to be the truth about God. We suppress the knowledge of Him in our hearts and minds. We lie to ourselves by saying, "We'll get by. God won't mind so much."

At approximately 2:00 a.m. on November 11, 2023, the Winnipeg Police Service responded to a distressing call regarding an injured male lying on a sidewalk in the 1100 block of Arlington Street. 

Officers provided the adult male victim with emergency medical care with the application of a chest seal and CPR. He was transported to hospital in critical condition and later pronounced deceased.

The Homicide Unit continues to investigate, and interviews are ongoing.

Proverbs 18:4

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.–George Washington Carver

I have admired those words for years. They reflect a perspective easily forgotten in a dizzy schedule of demands and deadlines.

It’s no wonder Ryleigh Schellenberg is Providence University’s High School Athlete of the Month – volleyball, basketball, badminton, and track and field – she does it all!

Ryleigh currently attends Rosenort School, where she’s an outstanding member of the Rosenort Red Hawks volleyball, basketball, badminton, and track and field teams. She also plays for the 17U Providence Jr Pilots volleyball team, and plays beach volleyball in the summer to keep her skills sharp.

But it’s not just her athletic talent that makes her stand out.

Proverbs 5:21

God is exacting in His knowledge.... Not one detail escapes His attention.... He knows everything about us. We are an open book before Him.

Furthermore, He is immutably faithful.

And yet He deliberately surprises us with difficult assignments, premature or unexpected deaths, lost jobs, and disappointing circumstances along the journey, even while we're in the nucleus of His will.
