Sometimes we need to stop and ask: Where is God in the midst of tragedy?
March 31, 2009 by Major Brian Armstrong 5 Comments
It is with humility and trepidation that I write this article. Humility because I am still learning to make sense of tragedy and unexpected grief.

Dress for Success

March 31, 2009 by Major Kathie Chiu Leave a Comment

Are you thinking, Not me, I don’t hate … [Read more...]

Heavenly music with youthful enthusiasm
March 30, 2009 by Captain Kim Walter 1 Comment
Kids love music. Look around the next time you walk down the street or sit on a bus. How many young people are plugged into their favourite tunes, almost oblivious to everything else around them?
