Gossip is mischievous,
light and easy to raise,
but grievous to bear and
harder to get rid of ...
No gossip ever dies away entirely,
if many people voice it,
it too is a kind of divinity.
- Hesiod c. 700BCE

One of the MOST horrible days of my life ... if only I had realized what was ahead!!!
I've journeyed from a small Ontario City, to a Native village on the West Coast, and through a small prairie city only to return to southern ontario to a rural ministry where ... I have been encouraged to offer a Wittenburg Door-like place where questions are welcomed, reflections are offered, and issues of faith are discussed without FEAR ... Feel free to Join Us ... but remember to approach ONLY with an open and inquisitive MIND !!! BE A PARACHUTE - and stay open !!
What We're About Around Here:
Please note that this Blog NO LONGER has any has ASSOCIATION with the Congregation of Minnedosa United Church !!!!
Meditative Moments is, as it has always been one of the places where I offer my personal reflections and thoughts.
It is a place for discussion and debate, it is a place where I share my reflective and liturgical creations, and it is a place where I dare to ask questions and wrestle with the answers no matter how uncomfortable they may be,
There is an open invitation to join the fray.
The ONLY requirement is a hunger & thirst for MORE, and an open mind prepared to face the BIG questions of life ...
If you're ready I can only say - WELCOME !!!!
(and it is a WELCOME extended to EVERYONE without condition nor limit)
SO PLEASE offer your own comments - add to my thoughts, challenge and question my ideas - let's engage in a dialogue to help us ALL experience and understand the issues of faith through our collective WISDOM !!!!
AND remember - the only bad question is the ONE that was never asked !!!

About Me
- Reverend Shawn
- Popeye said it best: "I yam, who I yam!" I'm not perfect, nor do I claim to be. I am an imperfect and flawed human being, with a caring heart and a loving soul ... I am a son, a father, a friend, and I am in a place engulfed by transition, uncertainty and change ... Were it not for my faith, this journey would have consumed me long ago ... for now, I take each moment as a gift ... and live firmly in the present ... because that's all we have ... and sometimes that's more than enough ... Dayenu !!
