Welcome To THE NUGGET Growing a Banana March 20, 2021 Is a banana a fruit or a vegetable? The answer is simple, right? We all know a banana is a fruit... Or is it? On a recent visit to a banana plantation on the isle of Guadeloupe, I was shocked to learn that a banana is not a fruit at all, and the tall, leafy plant that it grows on is not even a tree! Rathe ...Continue Reading

Welcome To THE NUGGET Standing on Every Promise... March 18, 2021 Have you ever encountered an unfulfilled promise? I assuredly have. One of the worst broken promises I've experienced was this; "Your job is secure," I was told, "as is everyone else's in your department. You're all completely safe!" In the grand scheme of things, this managerial promise to me and my co-workers was huge because at the ...Continue Reading

Welcome To THE NUGGET Answer me, Lord! Answer Me! March 11, 2021 Admittedly, the five words in this devotion's title flow out of my mouth a lot. Sometimes I'm calm, other times I have tears running down my cheeks. There are even times when I'm furious at God because he has chosen not to answer me, or even offer a clue as to how he intends to resolve the issues on my heart. I sense I'm not alone here. Slow to answer prayer can be tortuous. ...Continue Reading

Welcome To THE NUGGET Love Above All March 9, 2021 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

She could report to the police that her mother had stolen money from her, or she could just let it go. Lookin ...Continue Reading

Welcome To THE NUGGET The Fireplace Remote March 6, 2021 Our home of exactly 3 weeks has a gas fireplace insert. It was one of the things that enticed us to put an offer on this particular home, and you can imagine our disappointment when the previous owners didn't leave the remote control for the fireplace. Now you likely already know that most gas fireplaces do not have remotes. We, however, didn't know this, for the ...Continue Reading

Welcome To THE NUGGET Weather Predictions March 4, 2021 Winter isn't my favourite season. Although it's very beautiful after a snowfall -- a winter wonderland, as they say -- I don't like it when the wind blows and visibility becomes almost nil, especially if we have to travel somewhere. We rely on the weather predictions to keep us informed about upcoming snow squall warnings, and then, we decide whether or not we wil ...Continue Reading
