 Canadian news is starting to vanish from Instagram. Google is next.

Is this a concern?

(Note - I’ve added the Chat and Notes features to my SubStack but there’s no obligation to add the app - feel free to just read my newsletters as is. And share and comment.)

This recent news topic was not that relevant to me, as I didn't even realize that I could get CBC news on Instagram. I thought it was just for photos.

 Can you hear me now?

I need a Plan B 

I'm still in search of a way of being heard - not only listened to but also responded to.

TL;DR - I’ll pump up the volume here with more posts and the chat feature. Plus frequent notes (which don’t bury you in notifications, BTW).

Are miracles only for good things?

Where have all the demons gone?

What is a miracle?

According to Miriam- Webster, it’s “an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs”.

The Oxford Dictionary says. “A surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered being the work of a divine agency. Recorded from Middle English, the word comes via Old French from Latin miraculum ‘object of wonder’, from mirari ‘to wonder’, from mirus ‘wonderful’”.

And according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (and they should know) it’s “a sign or wonder such as a healing, or control of nature, which can only be attributed to divine power.”

Seriously?
