At the request of some friends I am blogging again. I will continue to address Spiritual and Emotional Wellness on this blog. We consist of body, soul and spirit.Spirituality and emotions have an impact on our physical health. The three are inter connected.
Recently I read a book entitled, "Mirror Mirror", by a local author Erin Stinson. This book is about our Christian identity and purpose in a fallen world. It is an excellent treatise on the subject. I am inspired to pass on some pertinent information on this subject from her writing. I will begin to share it with you in my next post after I get the permission from the author.
In the meantime I will give you a personal update. After seven years in Woodstock, New Brunswick, we have re located to Fort McMurray. Moving to Fort McMurray seems to be the natural thing to do for many Newfoundlanders including us. Actually we have met more people here from our years in Newfoundland than if we had moved back to the "Rock".
Both my wife and I are on staff at Family Christian Centre. www.familychristiancentre.org Dena is an Administrative Assistant. I am the Assistant Pastor and Counsellor. This has been a good move for us as we approach the twilight years of full time pastoral ministry. We both enjoy it at FCC and living in Fort McMurray. Adapting to the climate posed the greatest challenge. The fly in the ointment of course is being so far from our family, especially our sons and their families in New Brunswick and Ruthie in Scotland. Fortunately we are able to visit them occasionally in person and more often by Skype. Modern technology and transportation has certainly made a big difference in staying in touch globally. I visited my father in Newfoundland during Easter. He is 96 years old. There was a time in his life when Airplanes and communication via computer did not exist. No doubt our world has changed and managing such change puts stress on our spiritual, emotional and physical well being. This is all the more reason to understand our Christian identity and purpose in this world, the subject we will explore on this blog in future posts.
Have a Blessed Day!
Pastor Harold
