Be still, and know that I am God ~ Psa. 46:10 Chris Cousine Jul 10, 2025 Over the past couple of Sundays, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of sitting quietly in the pews of two different congregations—first with the local Anglican parish, and more recently at a PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) service. I wasn’tContinue reading “From the Pew: On Deer, Owen, and the Forgotten Privilege of Being God’s Children”

From Push-Mower to Pushback: Thoughts on Alberta, Confederation, and the Right to Leave
After a long day of mowing the lawn, by hand, of course (despite owning a ride-on, I was trained young that real mowing means walking it out), I found myself reflecting on two things. First, the Edmonton Oilers are going to win the Stanley Cup. Book it. And second, and more seriously: the growing chorusContinue reading “From Push-Mower to Pushback: Thoughts on Alberta, Confederation, and the Right to Leave”
What I Saw at the Alberta Prosperity Project Rally
Last week I attended what I suppose you’d call an information rally hosted by the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) in Calgary. It was an eye-opening experience, encouraging in some ways, but not without its disappointments. Let me explain. The venue had a capacity of around 1,000 people, and it was packed to the rafters. ThatContinue reading “What I Saw at the Alberta Prosperity Project Rally”
Alberta, Grab Your Hardhat (Because Canada’s on Fire)
Well, there you have it. Another Liberal government—after nine years of mismanagement, ethical failure, and outright corruption. And once again, central and eastern Canada, seemingly afflicted with terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome, have seen fit to elect the very people who’ve driven this country straight into a ditch. We’re on the fast track to becoming VenezuelaContinue reading “Alberta, Grab Your Hardhat (Because Canada’s on Fire)”
Why Couldn’t the Grave Hold Him?
A Message for the Anxious, the Searching, and the Hope-Starved Chris Cousine Apr 20, 2025 Scripture: Revelation 1:17–18 Thanks for popping by, I pray this Easter has been a good one. With that, I’d like to have a chat about a little thing that happened a couple thousand years ago. Let’s be honest: death makesContinue reading “Why Couldn’t the Grave Hold Him?”
What Temptation Reveals About You (And God)
A Message to the Struggling, the Wandering, and the Worn Out Scripture: James 1:12–14 Welcome, and thank you for popping by, whether you’re a regular, a guest, or someone who’s just not sure what to believe anymore. If you’re like many Albertans today, you probably feel like you’re under pressure. The cost of living isContinue reading “What Temptation Reveals About You (And God)”
A Pox on All Your Houses
Last week, something in me broke. After much careful thought and prayer, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s Pierre Poilievre’s fault. Predictably, the Liberal Party and their enablers in the mainstream media pulled out the old playbook—attack the Conservatives on abortion. It’s a tired trick, but it still works. And what did Poilievre sayContinue reading “A Pox on All Your Houses”
Canada: The Land of Other People’s Problems
During the U.S. election cycle, I noticed something peculiar—Canadians who passionately pick sides. Now, I don’t mean having an opinion; everyone has an opinion. I mean the full-on “Canadians for Trump!” crowd. What? You know what makes just as much sense? The folks who get upset about Canadians for Trump. Neither side can vote, yetContinue reading “Canada: The Land of Other People’s Problems”
When Words Fail
At times I struggle with words, not because I don’t have them, but because I’m so surprised and exasperated at some of the things I hear. My instant reaction is often that of disbelief. “Surely they didn’t just say that.” Or “Surely they jest, right?” Because if what they say is to be taken seriouslyContinue reading “When Words Fail”
The Unhelpfulness of Rationality and Logic
For years, I’ve believed that one of humanity’s biggest missteps was letting logic slip out of the mandatory school curriculum. Government education systems have sidelined it, and I used to think that if we’d kept it front and center, we might have stemmed the tide of irrationality washing over us. But lately, I’m not soContinue reading “The Unhelpfulness of Rationality and Logic”
