Child Soldier: The Jennifer Mitchell Story

Nine-year old Jennifer held her breath until she felt she would pass out. She begged herself, lie still. Just a bit longer. Rebel soldiers of Uganda’s murderous leader – Joseph Kony - would surely move on. The soldiers’ boots were inches from Jennifer's and her seven-year old sister’s bodies. And then one of the soldier’s stepped on her sister and the little girl cried out.

BEING A BIG SPEND FRIEND Life Formation

BEING A BIG SPEND FRIEND

On Saturday July 25th, Jocelyn and I will shop local in St Albert. I’ll purchase flowers for Jocelyn from Charmed Floral Design (win/win) and head over to Grandin Bakery to pick up sausage rolls and the best tasting Maple Donuts in the world. We’re Big Spend Friends and we hope you’ll become one too.

FINDING BEAUTY IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD Life FormationLife Stories

FINDING BEAUTY IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

Jocelyn and I have lived in our home for 30 years. Previous to us, the owners planted wild rose bushes in the backyard flowerbeds bordering the property. Typically, the rose bushes bloom, and drop their petals all within two weeks. Up until this summer I’ve been too busy or travelling to be around at the height of their beauty. This summer, COVID, injury and health problems have confined me to home, and our backyard. Serendipitously, I discovered the beauty eluding me for decades.
