It’s late summer, the beginning of hunting season in northern BC. Mark and Vince pack up a small mountain of hunting gear and leave Vancouver Airport for Fort Nelson. Upon arrival, the two men retrieve two crates and arrange for transportation further north to Stone Mountain Provincial Park. There, from the crates, they assemble two mountain bikes and two trailers loaded with gear. Following old mining roads, they head into the northern Rocky Mountains.

Quite a while ago, when I was in Boy Scouts, my small team took the name Wolverine Patrol. As 12-year-olds, we liked that those animals were known to be tough and, of course, we liked the nickname “skunk bears.” Jump ahead to today and Wolverine is one of a huge number of comic book superheroes. The creators of Wolverine apparently admired the characteristics of the real animal as much as we scouts did, but few of us have actually met a wolverine in the wild.

By: Russ Matthews In 2003, Winnie Holzman’s book Wicked, based on the characters in L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, became a Broadway production. It starred iconic stage and screen performers such as Idina Menzel (Frozen) as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth (Bewitched) as Glinda, and Joel Grey (Cabaret) as the Wizard. This reimagined work of the classic story continues to run on stages worldwide.

By: Brian Harris While I am by no means a Latin expert, there is a Latin phrase I love. Given you’ve seen the title of the post, it won’t come as a surprise that it’s “coram Deo”, which essentially claims that all of life takes place in the sight of God. We live and move and have our being before God’s face. Nothing is unknown to God, nothing a surprise to God.

By: Brian Harris It was a mentoring conversation, and while obviously with a specific person, I had the feeling I had heard it many times before. We were starting with the important Steven Covey insight, “begin with the end in mind”. If you know Covey’s work you will remember that he suggests we imagine we are at our funeral, and are listening in to the eulogies. Covey asks what we hope to hear.

By: Brian Harris A few weeks back I alerted you to my ‘proverbs project ‘– spring boarding from the thirty sayings that start in Proverbs 22:20. This weeks saying? “Know your name.”Some background…A few months ago I was fooled into attending a time share presentation. Yes, Rosemary and I did get a free meal at the resort in payment for 3 hours of our lives that will never come back, but my, it was rather a trial. Of greater interest to me, however, was the person trying to sell the time share to us.

By: Brian Harris Perhaps you’ve heard the old quip, “When all is said and done, far more is said than done.”A lot of my world revolves around words, making sure that ideas are well tested before being put into action and that the language around their implementation is likely to give them wings, rather than relegating them to the “never in a thousand years” basket. In that journey I hear so many words, and often long that instead of another talk fest we would have an action fest.

By: Brian Harris If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that I’ve made a start on developing some of my own proverbs and sayings. They are supposed to be wise and helpful, and perhaps you have found them so. But sometimes sayings can be really annoying – especially if they are trotted out when its too late to do much about them. I know “a stitch in time saves nine” but please don’t remind me of that when I face a huge repair bill because I forgot to get the car’s routine maintenance done.

By: Brian Harris Proverbs 22:20 reads, “I have written thirty sayings for you, filled with advice and knowledge.” What follows are a wide range of helpful insights from the noble “Do not rob the poor… for the Lord is their defender” (V22) to the controversial “Don’t fail to correct your children. They won’t die if you spank them” (Prov 23:13) and the pragmatic “If you are a big eater, put a knife to your throat, and don’t desire all the delicacies” (Prov 23:2).
