Death

 

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day, for me, is a day not only to remember the men and women who liberated my parents during World War II but also those who fight today to liberate men and women around the world. I regard our police and firefighters as heroes in the same way, as well as those whom God has placed in a heroic situation and who act accordingly. My Remembrance Day writing is grouped under Heroes, because they are

Heroes

 

Rueben Ruebenhiemer

Rueben Ruebenhiemer was a character

I created for "in depth Bible analyses"

while I served as Assistant Pastor at

Pickering Standard Church. My aim was

to extrapolate personal experience from

the presented facts of the Bible. I would

arrive on-stage in a white lab coat and

"nerdy" glasses and speak in a phony

German accent. It was a lot of fun.
