Knightly Scribblings of the Year

The 53rd of the Year 2022

Forward


         Did a quick update to this blog's description and introduction. I am coming at this blog now with a little more intent and thought that the blog description needed to reflect this new intention better. When I first started, it was to be a writing exercise and to stretch myself personally. Now, I am looking for consistency in posting on this blog. I've grown a lot, and I am looking to grow more, even though I don't quite know what that looks like yet.





Into the Meat of Things


         Family Day long weekend has just passed here in Alberta, and it was a good time to do what the holiday suggests and gather with family. I spent the day playing War the Ring with my little brother and having a blast as my armies of Shadow failed to achieve my military objectives in a timely manner. Having spent so much time away from my parents' house, I made sure to enjoy the fantastic cooking that my dad made that day.


         Unfortunately, the day ended with predictable disappointment; Parliament voted to extend the emergency powers late in the evening, and who knows when it will finally be repealed. Have to admit that I am hopeful, seeing the Bloc side with the Conservatives on a vote I wouldn't have predicted them to side with. With the Conservatives based mostly in the western provinces and the Bloc based in Quebec, it is a union of the east and west that I pray for whenever I think about the future of Canada.


         I did have to laugh when I saw that people were upset on Twitter about Franklin Graham asking people to pray for Putin. This is literally something we are told to do as Christians; pray for your enemies and the people in authority. I thought everyone knew what prayer was, but apparently, I was wrong.


Memento Mori,
