Criticism and the Church
I heard this story on CBC Radio this morning .
While I completely understand the perspective of being respectful of others and honouring those in leadership roles, I still believe there is a role for Christians to have a say in politics. To not think critically about those in leadership is to abdicate any responsibility.
We Christians are PART of the world and should not withdraw from taking those in leadership roles to task about their actions.
My $0.02. What's yours?

Medals!
So yesterday my DH, DS and SIL and I did the Dundas Cactus 5K race.
Chrystal and I ran together for most of it and pulled off a 29:00 finish. (Well actually I was 29:02).
Connor did a 32:09 finish and Michael a 32:15 finish. Now here's the cool part ... they BOTH placed 3rd in their age category! And they both beat another father/son team to get third. Kinda cool, especially for Michael. Since he's running in the 50-54 age category he's usually running against guys who've been running for years and are speed demons. They both felt pretty darn good.
MY BOYS ROCK!
The other cool part was that Lisa Collins was also at the race. I know Lisa from church - she's the wife of the Youth Pastor. She apparently started running 1 year ago and yesterday managed an AWESOME finish time of 27:25 AND she also came in 3rd in her age category.
WAY TO GO LISA!
Cheers
