This Awkward Life

“Sometimes spiritual growth isn’t about becoming something new—it’s about changing what’s holding you together.”

In this episode, I talk about how a cheap watch bracelet was ruining a perfectly good watch.

That phrase—“the Church is the mother of us all”—is an old Christian way of saying something deeply relational, not institutional. It’s less about a building and more about where spiritual life is born, formed, and nurtured.

In the Gospel story, when Jesus Christ calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee, He doesn’t create peace in that moment. He reveals it.

The storm is loud. Chaotic. Violent. But when Jesus stands and says, “Peace, be still,” He’s not negotiating with the weather—He’s addressing something that already recognizes His authority.

Which suggests this:
Peace was there the whole time. It was just buried under the noise.

The wind didn’t need to be convinced. The waves didn’t need time to calm down. They stopped immediately—because peace isn’t fragile when truth speaks. Chaos doesn’t argue with authority.

At the 2026 Winter Olympics, both Canada’s men’s and women’s teams have been accused by opponents and officials of “double‑touching” the stone, which is against curling rules.

• “Double‑touching” means a player is judged to have touched the stone again after releasing it during forward motion, or to have touched the granite after the hog line, which by rule can lead to the stone being removed from play.

• Canada’s Marc Kennedy (men’s team) was accused by Sweden of doing this, and video shared by Swedish media appears to show a double‑touch.

• Canada’s Rachel Homan (women’s team) had a stone removed after an official ruled she double‑touched; she angrily denied it, saying there was “zero‑percent chance” she did.

Not much to say tonight except, "Thanks for your support."

What a beauty story. Just unbelievable.

This Awkward Life

I’ll be honest—I was afraid.

At 81, bones are fragile. One wrong move and you could cause real damage. And every warning you’ve ever heard starts flashing in your mind.

But then there’s the other side of the equation.

You can’t just leave an 81-year-old woman lying in a parking lot.

We are on a recorded line!
