What's in a name? For contemporary Canadian culture probably not all that much. Many families name their children by looking for an unusual or nice-sounding name, with little thought to a specific hidden meaning in the chosen appellative.

I recently retired after four and a half decades invested in pastoral, educational, administrative and charitable endeavors. Entering this new phase of life, I thought I should start a blog to share my depth of wisdom garnered over the years.

I persisted with the idea, as I saw in it a way to keep learning and growing, perhaps writing some words that may be useful to some people. Hence this blog.
