It's enough to make you wish your name was Mary-Lou...

Last night was our Clog Dancing Wind-up. Next stop: Radio City Music Hall. Keep in mind that my videographer has only one hand. And that he basically came along for the ice-cream.

It does look like a lot of fun! Good for you for sticking with it. I was part of a group at Bible college that did "Interpretive Movement in Worship" (we couldn't call it dancing), and I really enjoyed it.

War might be raging overseas, but Rose Onishi is on track to fulfill her lifelong goal of becoming a concert pianist. When forced by her government to leave her beloved home in Vancouver and move to the Canadian prairies to work on a sugar beet farm, her dream fades to match the black soil working its way into her calloused hands. Though the Thorne family is kind, life is unbearably lonely. In hopes that it might win her the chance to play their piano, Rose agrees to write letters to their soldier son. When Rusty Thorne joins the Canadian Army, he never imagines becoming a Japanese prisoner of war. Inside the camp, the faith his parents instilled is tested like never before. Though he begs God to help him not hate his brutal captors, Rusty can no longer even hear the Japanese language without revulsion. Only his rare letters from home sustain him—especially the brilliant notes from his mother’s charming helper, which the girl signs simply as “Rose.” Will Rusty survive the war only to encounter the Japanese on his own doorstep? Can Rose overcome betrayal and open her heart? Or will the truth destroy the fragile bond their letters created?

Some Puzzles Refuse to Be Solved. Ray Matthews’ dream is to be an artist. But his father’s death during the Great Depression forces him to drop out of art school and support his mother and sister by selling his paintings to a jigsaw puzzle maker. However, there’s one personal masterpiece Ray vows never to sell: a portrait of his sweetheart, Sarah. When compelled to break his oath, Ray speaks a prophecy over the puzzle— that no one will be able to finish it before he and the love of his life are reunited. During the next 80 years, the puzzle passes through four different households. Though all are profoundly affected by Ray’s girl at the wishing well, none are aware of the connection between them—until one decision unleashes a peculiar chain of events. When all five journeys converge in visible and invisible ways, each individual life is strengthened and forever shaped by the lessons offered through one extraordinary puzzle.

From soup explosions to fearsome medical procedures, from the stories behind our favorite Christmas carols to meeting a first grandchild, Terrie Todd’s popular “Faith and Humour” column has been encouraging and amusing readers of The Graphic Leader for ten years. This book celebrates a decade of wit and wisdom found in Terrie’s hand-picked favorites. Arranged by category, this book could be called a weirdly out-of-order memoir of a life in which faith and humour dwell hand in hand.
