I’m writing this editorial just as the power went down, and just prior to watching on television, the storming of the capital in Washington DC. The fact I had been chasing wild turkeys out of our garden minutes before, found me trying to relax enough to complete The HighWay.

Throughout the years, the churches in Kaslo have served as a place of community and solace. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, congregations have not been allowed to gather as usual, and both St. Andrew’s United and St. Mark’s Anglican have remained empty.

“But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19) The story of the first Christmas is the story of a miraculous intervention in the life of the world—one that caused the heavens to rejoice, but was decidedly more quiet here on earth.

There’s a scene in the film Gandhi where photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White is interviewing Gandhi for Life magazine. He is talking to her in prison for his non-violent resistance against the British Empire for India’s independence.

Patricia Simons — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 07:57:13 +0000

As I talk to different people, the one question that I continue to hear is: “How could God allow this to happen?” We all have choices to make, as we did at the beginning of this pandemic.

It’s hard to believe that we are on the cusp of living a year with a global pandemic - not an anniversary anyone wishes to celebrate. We are also coming up to the beginning of Lent, with Ash Wednesday being Feb.17th this year.
