This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, January 13, 2023 Hello Everyone! Hello snow!!  Could winter finally be here in Beamsville?  So far so good.  I think my kids will be happy to christen their new sleds and snowboards.  Me?  I'm looking at my snow covered car and thinking I will need to add about 15 mins to my estimated leave time.  Owen is definit...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Thursday, April 14, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week I’m writing to you at a far different hour than usual.  Even for me, this is early, but there we are, here I am, tucked away with some words and some tea, welcoming a new day with your gracious reading in mind. You might know that I ...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, April 8, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week I’ve been using the pause and rewind features – on screen and in my head - a bit more than usual.  I don’t know yet if that’s the right description, technologically or metaphorically, but I have certainly been going back over some things, ...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, April 1, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week’s musings are going to arrive on your screens right in the middle of a day I met with mixed emotions as a child.  Acquainted with, or related to, many year-round pranksters and practical jokers, having a day dedicated to elaborate schemes ...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, March 25, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week I had one of those ‘wish you were here’ moments.  It was very far from the kind I associate with postcards, sent from warm and sunny places, with just a hint of gloat.  This particular moment was very homegrown, from the comfort of m...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, March 18, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week my laptop and calendar have been covered, more than usual, in the multi-hued scattering of notes-to-self.  It’s the rainbow of tiny papers, accumulating thoughts and ideas I don’t want to lose in the melee of meetings, readings, webinars,...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, March 11, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week I did a wild and crazy thing:  I opened a window.  For someone who’s known to wear a blanket with sleeves (poncho or cape) well into April, the welcoming of cooler air is also a rare thing.  I’m often cold and don’t like to be, ...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, March 4, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week I’ve been thinking a fair bit about greetings.  I’ve been holding on to the wonderful, sunny “good morning” of Tuesday, when young Eli found me outside the church doors – me setting out ashes for Wednesday, he on his way to school.  I...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, February 25, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week’s edition is in its second take.  The first was set in the magic of saved documents; written ahead then released on time.  “By the time you read this, I’ll be most of the way through a week of vacation…”  That’s still true, b...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville Friday, February 18, 2022 Dear Friends,             This week I’ve been thinking a bit about the latest blog release from an author I am tempted to contact.  It would be sort of a letter to the editor, maybe, in a way that avoids the minefield of online comments.  I don’t follow this author ...
