National Post Editorial

It's remarkable that the National Post has taken to publishing pointedly Christian columns. Several columnist write from a Christian perspective. But now they ran a Christian Christmas editorial. I'm reading Tim Keller's Reson for God. In it he claims that the demise of a Christian voice in the public square is overstated. There are many Christians who are in various places of influence throughout North America. This editorial underlines that thesis.

Dominion Day at the Burlington Waterfront

Last night we went down to the waterfront in Burlington. The local philharmonic orchestra played while the fireworks filled the sky. It was a beautiful warm summer evening, shared with thousands of Burlington citizens. The finale was the 1812 Overture, with many booming canon shots echoing over the promenade.

Then as we were walking away the orchestra started playing "O, Canada!" Remarkably, the thousands broke out in unison. Thousands stopped walking to their cars, and joined in a rousing rendition of the National Anthem. And as we finished off a mighty volley of fireworks filled the sky. All in all a memorable evening.
