This is my final Cliff’s Notes until September. Today, something to pray about and someone to meet… Someone asked me what I think about the ‘cancel-Canada-Day’ idea.

Porter des masques, respecter les restrictions gouvernementales, obtenir des vaccins, et les églises fermer leurs portes et se réunir en ligne, ce sont toutes des choses sur lesquelles nous pouvons nous entendre, n’est-ce pas?
