In almost the exact center of North America, on the border of Canada and the United States, at the joining of the Province of Manitoba and the State of North Dakota, there is a beautiful place with 2,000 acres of trees and flowers. It is known as the International Garden of Peace.

Beneath the flags of Canada and the United States, there is a stone cairn on which are these words: "To God in his glory, we two nations dedicate this garden, and pledge ourselves that as long as man shall live we will not take up arms against one another."

There’s an old saying, “Watch what you pray for, you might get it.” A cautionary tale.

It is a dark, damp, raining Wednesday night in a certain pastor’s church study. Gathered with the pastor are four men in their late fifties. They have their Bibles open. Their eyelids are barely cracked open. A couple of the men were wise enough to stop by a gas station to get a cup of black coffee to stay awake. This is the latest effort in this small town congregation that worships less than ninety people.

“...whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant.” (v. 43b)

The Village Shepherd

One thing which perhaps separates humans from other animals, is our sense of justice. According to the documentaries I see on television, other animals seem to be driven by basic needs such as hunger, survival and sex. Their lives are centred around satisfying those needs, and even though some animals display considerable domestic organisation and affection for others of the species, they're still driven by their basic primitive urges.

We could also say that humans are driven by similar urges, but our lives are very

Psalm 104 begins and ends with a unique call to praise. Instead of calling on others to praise the Lord, the psalmist instructs himself: "Bless the Lord, O my soul." This psalm and Psalm 103 are the only places in the Bible where this particular expression occurs. What are we to make of this unusual phrase?
