While it was an' -extremely offensive action to burn our flag, it was not against the law anda Mountie, a Canadian symbol, could only stand by as the flag, the biggest symbo-I ofd this country, was burned. Everyone has the right to protest and be heard. In fact_, th ey.should be listened to as well, before a person or governing body makes a decision to ignore the protest or give it consideration. But no one should have the right to desecrate the flag. Canadian flags are flown high as proud symbols of our nation. Burning one is :nothing short of an act against everyone one of us and it should not be stood for A movement is growing for legislation to make such an act illegal.- • Hopefully, new legislation can be adopted to make it illegal. Hopefully, in the case of foreign citizens entering our country to desecrate the flag, it can also have•enough teeth to ensure they are removed from Canada and never allowed back. And hopefully, this_ incident can generate enough discussion amongst ourselves to renew a little Canadian pride. Too few Canadian flags .are flown as it is and too many of them get torn by the wind and are left to fly in their tattered states. Come on folks. Let's show some Canadian pride and push to have flag burning made illegal.

When a relationship is severed someone must step in to reconcile the situation. The first people created were Adam and Eve and they broke the relationship,. between God and - men by sinning. r - Genesis Chapter 3. The -deity created man in their image after their own likeness. Genesis Chapter- I Verse 26 en the sixth day and declared their work "very good" Genesis 1:31. The deity or Godhead or Trinity. being God the Father. God the Son. . and God the Holy Spirit.. Jesus. the son was at creation .and later. God in his wonderful unique way• sent divinity to earth incarnate as an innocent baby. horn of a He - came unexpectedly. suddenly having the remedy and sent on a mission to reconcile God and man. To reconcile God and you. Jesus .grew bad a three year, ministry. do the _cross. Minister's study Rev•Mavis Hauser Seaforth Community Church rose from the gfave. - and. ascended back to Heaven where he sits on• the right hand of the_ father as our friend and lawyer. The promise of the father is the returnof our Lord Jesus for the believer. For those who accept his mission for us on earth. For those who believe what he has done for us personally according tb the divine plan. When will he return' In God's time and God isn.t in a hurry. A thousand years Is as a day to him.. 2 Peter 3:8. But when he' does return it will be quickly. suddenly. Scripture. tells us a flash of lightening. in the twinkling of an eye. That is faster than a blink -of the eye! any believe presently there's -.a "feel" in the air: that Jesus will return soon. Let us for a moment investigate Horology, "the science which deals with the measure of time. A thousand years is called a millennium. the millennium is divided .into centuries, .decades. years; months, weeks, days. hours and seconds.- ' econds.' in Ecclesiastes 3:1 it tells us clearly "to every thing there is 3 season and a time for every., purpose under Heaven." Who of us can honestly say•God doesn't have the whole world in his hand'' -He is a God who. never slumbers or sleeps PS.. (2:3 & 4. He doesn't need forty wtrtks now and. then either!
