Social Concern:
Protect Your Family From Child Sexual Abuse


Store

As a child at the cottage, I loved lying on the sun-soaked dock, staring at my rippled reflection in the water, wondering who I would become.

As the years have rolled away the wrap on my life, things I never dreamed possible have been exposed - graduation in the Class of '67 from Acadia University; careers in Social Work, Phys.Ed. Teaching, Writing, Speaking, Graphic Design and Publishing; seven years as a regular TV host on NiteLite and Raiders of the Lost; a stint in Provincial Politics; graphic designer and interim editor of the Crossroads Compass for 100 Huntley Street; 38 years of marriage with two sons and four grandchildren - and now a new season in life.

While I never thought divorce would be part of my life, I am grateful for the things God is teaching me and the opportunities he is opening along the journey for getting to know Him more. I'm still the child on the dock, but the ripples have gone and I see more clearly now.
