Tim's Tip of the Day

What people say is important, the content of speech is a complex form of communication only a small portion of it really relates to the words said. Gossip, for example, is a way a society tells itself what is troubling or what people are anzious about, skip the content of the story, but consider the issues and the background feelings.

Ensign Notes

Many are not aware that the content on this web site is shared with a simpler web site "Saskatchewan News" the top of the page picture is unique to that page each day.
