A Tale of 3 Canada Apps

4/4/2013

I was recently on the hunt for edu-apps for next year’s home-schooling extravaganza, and as Regions of Canada is one of the Social Studies topics for Grade 4 (Alex and Simon will be in grade 4 next year), I decided to look for relevant Canada Map apps. 

While US map learning apps abound, Canada appears to be a more elusive market.  The following three apps offer Canadian geography seekers and opportunity to learn…

Okay, People, Here it is... the Long-Awaited "Gay Christianity" Blog Post

Homosexuality.

It’s a hot topic in Christian circles… and it’s about time I address it in a meaningful way here on my blog, where -- as long-time readers will surely have noticed by now -- things have changed considerably over the past three years. 

At my children’s request, I went to my “old” church on Sunday morning with them and their dad.  A number of people came up to me and shook my hand or hugged me, telling me how good it was to see me “out” (no pun intended, I don’t think, hehe), and how nice it was that I was there to celebrate Easter with them.

It was as though many of my former fellow congregants had processed whatever “news” about me they had heard through the grapevine, and had come up with the supposition that I was no longer a Christian, that I had clearly decided to stop attending church, and that they therefore needed to really encourage me on my first foray back into the fold after nearly 9 months of not attending the little blue collar church where I was baptised about two decades ago when I first publicly acknowledged Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.

Little did they know that I have done more reading of the Bible in the past 9 months than I probably had in the preceding 39 years!!!  Or that I have been attending and worshiping at another church in our fine city most Sunday mornings when I am in town.

When will more conservative/traditional Christians stop assuming that those of us who identify as LGBTQ must have “fallen away” and are in need of “re-saving”?  When will they finally respect those of us who are comfortable with our sexual orientation, even when this comfort stems from an understanding of Scripture which may differ from their own?

Anyway, all this preamble to say that on this Easter weekend, when many are thinking about what it means to be a Christian, I would like to “preach” a little about some stuff I have been shoving around from one corner of my crowded mind to another lately…  I hope you’ll join me on this exploration of the Scriptures by reading the rest of this blog post

    Vera & her Sons, April 2021
    After writing for several teacher and multiple birth publications, including ETFO's Voice Magazine, Multiple Moments, and the Bulletwin, Vera turned her written attention to prolific blogging for some years, including BiB,  "Learn to Fly with Vera!"  and SMARTbansho .  Homeschooling 4 was her travel blog in Argentina.  She now spends more time on her Instagram (@schalgzeug_usw)  than her blog (pictures are worth a thousand words?!)
