Living In Fear

I know a lot about living with fear. I would venture to say that I am somewhat of an expert at ‘living in fear.’ I have lived with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Agoraphobia all my life, though only formally diagnosed in 1992 at the age of 20. I am ALWAYS on edge, prone to debilitating panic attacks and periods of depersonalization when my mind seems to step out of my body to become a passive observer to what is happening around me. I have used self-help books, multiple medications (currently Prozac), various doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, prayer, community and family supports, and intensive therapeutic tools such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Anger Management, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Even with all these tools and an overwhelmingly supportive family, I find myself anxious most of the time and in deep fear of everything and everyone around me on a regular basis. I feel like throwing up just typing these wor

Reflecting on AMO Clericus - Day One

The military loves its acronyms. Anglicans do too. And so the AMO - Anglican Military Ordinariate - is a natural product of that intersection. This week I have the privilege, during the course of our annual CF Chaplain Retreat, of meeting with the AMO to share our stories, pains, joys and vision together. Those present make up a comparatively large group - 35 priests, with over half of our number (mostly reservists) unable to attend. Over the course of two 'denominational days' within the larger CF Chaplain retreat, we each have the opportunity to touch base with the foundation of our faith which makes Chaplaincy possible - our specific faith communities and traditions. This is always a significant teaching-point for those inside and outside the military. We are not non-denominational chaplains. There is no such thing as a non-denominational chaplain. We are chaplains. Our role - serving those who serve - may be universal, but our individual faith traditions are vital

Happy Birthday, Mom

My Mom is my hero. Winnie Ann(e) Elaine George was born on May 22nd, 1953 at Markland Cottage Hospital in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Her parents, Bob and Vivian George, raised her in Whiteway, Newfoundland, along with her older sister, Helen, older brother James, and four younger brothers, Lloyd, Robert, Darryl, and Kevin. Mom (on left) with her sister, Helen. Mom was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of eight and has devoted herself to self-care through a healthy diet and exercise all her life. She is currently using the latest version of the insulin pump, but during all my childhood took an average of three needles a day. I remember sitting down with her one day when I was in high school to try to calculate the number of needles she had actually taken in her life...I think it was around 40-50 thousand at that point! Mom’s focus on maintaining good health became more poignant for me in my teenage years when I went with her, from time to time, to attend funer
