Happy New Year!

Welcome to ‘Heartily Hardy … Har’: a 3 week adventure into robust joy: transcendent in trouble,  strong in struggle, tenacious in testing. You can get there, we can help… As we touch down in scripture’s rich history & wisdom (Genesis 3, Job 5, Ecclesiastes 5… John 16), we learn how we can grow in strength in honour, and laugh at adversity.

New Year’s Eve – 2022

Tonight we celebrate 2022 and prepare ourselves for a New Year – 2023. In the vast transition of Matthew 2: 12, we wonder in amazement about the Magi who attended Jesus’ arrival to earth. In pivotal moments for the Magi, Mary, Joseph, Jesus, and… the mad King Herod the array of human realities demand a pause to consider. As you do so… Happy New Year.

Christmas Day – 2022

Christmas day has come! Celebrating today with family, friends & faith community, we hope you are fillled with Joy, Peace, Hope & Love. These four elements – so vital to humanity, are found interspersed throughout the story. In this 5th of 6 “We Three…!” episodes we consider the great moment of meeting as told by Clementarian, a librarian of Persia. Read along in Matthew 2. We hope this reflection helps to inspire your celebration of His arrival.

Christmas Eve – 2022

Imagine Christmas Eve for the Magi. Of course advent occurred over 3 years, but just think of their excitement the night before they saw Him – when, outside Jerusalem they turned to the short trek to Bethlehem. In this 4th “We Three…!” episode we consider this night as told by Clementarian, a librarian of Persia. Read along in Matthew 2 to celebrate with wonder.
