For the last two years, Cade Smith has been a reliable pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians in Major League Baseball, now he's sharing one of his favourite Bible verses with fans while signing autographs. 

Darby Nobles is the team chaplain for several Cleveland teams such as the Browns and the Cavaliers. He is also the Metro Cleveland director for the Cleveland Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 

Nobles shared a video on social media of Smith signing autographs over the weekend and explaining why he has "1 Cor 6:11" written on his glove. 

Darren Mulligan, the lead singer of We Are Messengers, celebrated his daughter's 13th birthday by releasing a tear-jerking song. 

Mulligan and his wife Heidi have four children together, and their eldest daughter, Emmanuelle, just became a teenager.

"It has been a wrestle, for me, letting go of that beautiful child-like relationship that we had when she was a small, wee baby girl," says Mulligan on the band's social media. "But I get the privilege of watching her grow up and navigate a really tricky world."

Pastor Greg Laurie is recovering after undergoing hip surgery on Tuesday.

"Please pray for me as I'm going to the hospital to get a hip replacement," said Laurie in a post on social media. "Now I should tell you, I should've gotten this a long time ago. I've been postponing it, and it's become more painful for me, so I finally agreed to a surgery date."

He says he's gone from being a hippie to needing a hip replacement, and he's gone from acid rock to acid reflux.

For over 40 years, Michael W. Smith has been making waves in Christian music, and now he's sharing all the good and bad he's encountered along the way. 

In his professional CCM career, Smith has many accolades to his name, including 45 Dove Awards, three Grammys and more than 18 million albums sold.

However, in a recent interview, Smith is opening up about the dangers he has faced in the Christian music industry. 

Canada Post and the union representing postal workers are set to return to the bargaining table today.

Plans to rekindle talks late last week were delayed due to a lack of federal government mediators.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers claimed labour unrest at Air Canada was pulling attention from the postal service's dispute, which has stretched on for more than a year and a half.

Air Canada flights within North America are expected to ramp up this morning as the airline continues its operational restart following a three-day flight attendants' strike.

The company resumed flights Tuesday afternoon after a complete halt to Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge routes that began early Saturday morning.

It said it was focusing on outbound international flights to start.

In a partial policy reversal, Alberta's government said Tuesday it will cover the cost of COVID-19 vaccinations for health-care workers.

Maddison McKee, spokesperson to Primary and Preventative Health Services Minister Adriana LaGrange, said in an email that COVID-19 vaccine coverage will be extended to all health-care workers this fall under the first phase of the province's vaccination rollout.

"Immunization will remain voluntary," said McKee.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government is again shifting its expense disclosure policy after critics from across the political spectrum accused her of dodging responsibility.

In early August, the province quietly published new rules axing a requirement for Smith, her ministers, senior staff and deputy ministers to publicly post receipts for expenses over $100. 

Marisa Breeze, press secretary to Finance Minister Nate Horner, said in a Tuesday email that cabinet has directed Horner to see that the previous expense posting policy is reinstated -- but with a tweak.

Do you know what I've discovered about the Lord? He doesn't give wisdom on credit. He doesn't advance you a bundle of insight.... Do you know when He gives us words and wisdom and insight? 

Right when we need them. At the very instant they are required.

Psalm 16:8

I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
