The CBC reported a Manitoba alcoholic who is taking the province to the Human Rights Commission because he can’t have a spiritually void treatment centre… uhhh …I think that is a pretty acurate description of alcoholism… a spiritual void. It’s pretty hard to recover from alcoholism and at the same time run around trying to [...]

Thank you for all the wonderful comments regarding our marriage. We are very grateful. This is a notification that we have cancelled the April 10th date that we had planned for our wedding. We both come to this with significant baggage and we are taking this pre-marriage time to walk through it all, which is [...]

This is where you can sign your name and leave comments about our upcoming marriage. We’ll be glad to hear from you! To return to our marriage web site go here.

Last year’s card was difficult because I had lost my singing voice and I didn’t understand why. However, deep down I knew the Lord had a plan. I just couldn’t imagine what it was. I now see that God used the setback and suffering to disassemble the walls of protection I had built around my [...]

Announcement: David MacDonald and Kirsten Harty engaged to be married. The engagement was in early September. Marriage April 10 at St. Mary’s in Ottawa. Everybody will be welcome to attend the service. More details to be announced soon. Neither of us has been married before. God is so good. I took this photo of Kirsten [...]

This article is by David’s fiancée Kirsten David and I welcomed this beautiful singing canary into our lives this past Tuesday…. he landed on David’s balcony while David was on the phone with another recording musician, then flew into the apartment and has been happily there ever since. Later that day, David posted “Found Bird” [...]

Today my fiancée Kirsten and I went down to the abortion facility, which we call “Ground zero”. I had my sign with “I Regret Lost Fatherhood” on one side and “je pleure mon enfant avorté” on the other. I was moved by Kirsten’s willingness to stand with me even though she had never at all [...]

I just got back from holding a sign at the gay pride parade. “Same sex messed me up… the Truth set me free” I got on the island of Elgin Street near the Arts Centre. I was all alone on the edge of the island facing the parade as it came by. The entire parade [...]

I held a sign at Gay Pride that said: “same sex messed me up the Truth set me free blockquote> An 18 year old went to my website and posted this comment. I can see him/her struggling and pray for them. I saw you at Ottawa’s Capital Pride yesterday. If your not gay or “used” [...]

A good friend of mine has a daughter who is in her early 20′s, who has been in and out of addiction. This year the daughter got pregnant and really wanted the baby. She wanted to be a mom. The baby was born healthy. But they discovered trace levels of THC and another downer in [...]

Today, I stood across the street with my “I regret lost fatherhood” sign, and my friend Frances held her “I regret my abortion” sign (our abortions are not related). It is traumatic to watch the misery parade of young women being “escorted” to the clinics with their boyfriends who will soon be gone out of [...]

The media is on a new feeding frenzy over Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert’s “differences”. The Examiner writes: What everyone wants to know about is the possible beef he had with Adam Lambert, which Lambert alluded to in his Rolling Stone interview: “Danny is by the book, and the book is The Word. And I [...]

In the recent dust up over the ABC interview with Christopher West, Professor David Schindler brought up the issue of anal sex as foreplay in his criticism of West. He pointed out it was in the first version of West’s book “Good News about Sex and Marriage.” West corrected it in the revised edition of [...]

David Schindler is Provost/Dean and Professor of Fundamental Theology at the Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family. He’s getting in on the criticism of Christopher West. The article is here: www.headlinebistro.com/hb/en/news/west_schindler2.html Dr. Schindler is a fantastic academic, and a faithful Catholic who has written tons of books with big words. But his reach [...]

Recently, Dr. Alice von Hildebrand criticised Christopher West after an ABC special that distorted his views on human sexualtity. Alice Von Hildebrand and her late husband, are much respected in the Church and she has appeared numerous times on EWTN and at Catholic Family Land. CNS broke this story. I examined every published comment by [...]

Kris Allen was 4 years younger than Adam Lambert, and not as confident. But Kris knows where his gift came from. Adam is still looking. He treked off to “Burning Man”, a New Age pagan drug/sex fest in the desert. His spiritual journey ended with open mouth gay kissing photos posted all over the web. [...]

As I was walking across the street from the abortion clinic with my “I regret lost fatherhood” A lady came up on her bike, and said “I want to tell you that I don’t regret my abortion.” She drove away. An elderly woman came and said: “When I was 15 I got pregnant. My father [...]

Morgentaler petition On Monday April 27, 2009 at 5pm I received a call from the Governor General’s office, saying that a representative from the Governor General’s Chancellery would meet with me at the gate of Rideau Hall so I could present a petition of 18,222 names opposing Morgentaler’s Order of Canada. This was after two [...]

Yesterday, I had one of the saddest encounters of my life in front of the abortion clinic. A woman who had had 3 previous abortions was waiting outside the clinic. I spoke about my abortions, and how I felt now. She said, “my baby has a beating heart, I saw it’s heart beating, but I’ve [...]

Pastor Rick Perhaps you are being “Seeker sensitive” but as a same sex attracted man who found the Lord and has been set free, I can tell you that you are not helping same sex attracted people one bit by your neutral position. Is the founder “Celebrating Recovery” oblivious to what it means to “enable” [...]

I was walking with my “I regret lost fatherhood sign.” An intelligent looking businessman in his 50’s approached me. He said “I am very moved by your sign. I got my girlfriend pregnant at 21 years old. I tried to convince her to get an abortion. Her doctor and the nurse at the clinic tried [...]

It’s 7 months of no singing voice and very little talking voice. Quite the cross for someone like me who’s identity is tangled up in the music and performing and leading worship and speaking engagements etc… After Mass this morning during my prayer time alone in the Church, I think the Lord gave me 4 [...]

Merry Christmas What a year of ups and downs. I stood at the birthplace of Jesus, where the wise men offered their gifts that first Christmas. The only thing I could offer him was my obedience. I returned to India, and saw my sponsored child, then to Australia to see the Pope and participate in [...]

 The University of Calgary kicked Prolife students off campus this week, charged tuition paying students with “tresspassing”. Sure, the GAP is an “in your face” campaign, but so was the Falun Gong exhibit. But prolifers are fair game. Here is my open letter to the president. Dear Sir My girlfriend and I aborted our baby. [...]

I was in the doctor’s office today, and started reading the Bible on my palm pilot. I flipped randomly to 1 Titus 4:3:  …For everything [food] created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected provided it is received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer. When I [...]

There have been gay riots in San Francisco, and Los Angeles, after the democratic process of voting that rejected Same Sex Marriage. They are much like the riots and storming of the Psychiatric association convention in 1973 which resulted in the association’s removal of same sex attraction from the DSM psychiatric manual. So riots work, starting with Stonewall. In [...]

Yesterday I wrote this song to remember Frank Mountain, one of the great Canadian prolifers, who has gone on to help us from the other side of life. Frank ran off the road on his way to a pro life demonstration 20 years ago. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair, but [...]

As I arrived in front of the clinic I noticed a man with a professional video camera and an announcer using us as a backdrop for their video. They didn’t look like news media, so I drifted over and asked them if they minded me asking them what they were shooting. The cameraman said, “I’m [...]

As I was walking slowly back and forth a woman approached me and said. I work in the office building here and have been watching your group for several weeks. I want to let you know that I’ve been hoping and praying something like this would happen here. I was in that clinic 2.5 years [...]

Obama won at a great cost, with the blood of the unborn. America’s thirst for blood is insatiable, on the right wing there is the war, which fueled the last election, which the Pope condemned. And when they get sick of that kind of death they swing over to the left, where there is a feeding frenzy around the trough of blood that  will [...]

 I went to the 40 days for life with my large “I regret lost fatherhood” sign. It was quite different  than when I was carrying the “Pray to End Abortion” sign. I began to get these looks of pain from dozens of men. Men looked at me as if they wanted to say something but [...]

Sarah did her best… but the media are so violently against her, and so violently against the unborn that she didn’t have a chance. Sure she has faults and is not ready to be president, but that is not what is messing my head up. What worries me is the unprecedented contempt and aggression against [...]

I just got back from the Normandy beaches where I had a God moment. I imagined all the invasions coming in. Britain took Sword Beach and Gold Beach, the Canadians on Juno beach, and the US on Omaha and Utah beach. Then it hit me. The English fought together as one unit. The US fought together [...]

I’m not a “young earth” guy. However, I’m puzzled by something. The press say that Sarah Palin is “denying science” by her belief that the world is young. My question is  this: who is denying science more… Sarah or Obama who responds to the question “when does life begin?” With “uh…uh… that’s above my pay rate” [...]

Man, I’m so sick of the press twisting the words of Sarah Palin… I decided to pull up the Sarah Palin talk about IRAQ to her church… It’s NOT what the NY Times and the liberal media are trying to dump on her. She is NOT saying that the war is  from God… she is saying [...]

I’ve been living in an apartment for 8 years. It’s an interesting place downtown with many characters who drink too much, and have subsidized rent and stuff. Then there are those of us who pay market value for the rent. I had heard that every 5 years the Landlord is obligated to paint your apartment [...]

As we wind down another year, I can’t help but feel our present age is always hoping for a new beginning, but never willing to begin again. That leap of faith is so hard to take. Sometimes the radical shift is only in our hearts and other times it is in our life circumstances.   [...]

I just had my first experience as a politician. It was a short lived career. But within 3 weeks I managed to put the prolife message in front of thousands of people through TV debates, radio Ads, YouTube, 10,000 flyers, 100 signs and a bunch of door to door cold calls. Lord thank you for [...]

OK folks here we go… the cultural war in Ontario has begun, the war for the hearts of our children who are being force fed sex in our schools, the war for a province that has been beaten and battered by Hollywood writers and CNN newscasters. There is not one candidate in Ottawa South who believes in [...]

You know these little shops that sell budget travel luggage? This stuff is garbage! When I was travelling in Europe the bag broke leaving me completely messed up… CHAMP Luggage makes “Canadian made” luggage. No one there speaks either English or French very well (Canada’s official languages), they won’t tell you where the manufacturing plant [...]

The King of atheism has basically admitted defeat as far as I can see. He has pushed the theory that there is no such thing as God upon an intellectually lazy community of scientists and now he’s trying to jump ship and head off for space.  He’s one of the most brilliant men on the [...]

I pray that this year has brought you closer to Calvary. This year has been a remarkable year for me in so many ways. I have been privileged to travel quite a bit with work and music. The world is so beautiful. I’m not sure why, at this time of my life, the Lord has [...]

I got off the plane from in Tokyo (From Guam and Hawaii). Then on my way to Yokohama Japan and left my camera bag on the train. I have to forgive myself. I was wiped out tired and had to change cars. Total bummer because my camera battery and charger were in my bag and [...]

I’m sitting in a little house overlooking the Pacific ocean. I wonder why they called it “pacif-ic” it is hardly passive. It is wonderfully majestic. Tonight I spoke with youth and sang to them about Jesus. I pray that they get it but I can’t control that. I can only plant seeds. It’s been a [...]
