I’m back!! Well, maybe you didn’t know I was away. last week was so crazy busy that I hardly had time to catch up to myself before heading out to the lake on Friday for our annual women’s retreat. Fortunately my Friday was fairly light so that I had time to go by the church [...]

Psalm 23
“The Lord is my shepherdI have everything that I need.” vs1(NLT)
These were the words of my morning reading. I didn’t get much farther than this for awhile – the first few reads. Something in these few words spoke to me strongly so that I couldn’t continue; spoke simply but loudly about trust.
“I have everything that [...]

Weekend Grandma
That was fun!
Kieran stayed with us from Friday to yesterday. He is such a good little guy. maybe his parents should give lessons on how to parent – or maybe they just lucked out. I can’t remember his dad being so good as a two year old.
Saturday I took him grocery shopping with me. I [...]

A Visitor
We have a young guy, Eric, staying with us for a couple of days. He is travelling with the Wycliff drama team. Last night we were getting to know him a bit. Tonight at 7 they put on their presentation at Gateway Covenant, our church. I’ve been to their dramas before and they are good.
Our girls [...]

Nothing major
So, here I am complaining about the blah, blah – the little petty unimportant routines that make up my life.
And then I see God. Not so much that anything major happened to open my eyes. It was just little things that added up.
Today talking after church – It seems that I am not alone [...]

I believe that God created me to live, to [...]

Proverbial Wisdom
The lack of wisdom of children amazes me sometimes.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” begins the author of Proverbs. It seems the basis of all wisdom stems from this.
Oh how I wish that this foundation was solid in my children’s lives.
It seems very difficult to help children understand this till a [...]

Change of Scene
There is something special about getting away for a weekend.
Visiting one of my sisters makes it doubly good.
It only took us about 4 hours to get down to Moose Jaw and we decided to take the longer way through Saskatoon just in case the roads were bad, since the highway is divided from [...]

Thoughts on prayer and "The Little Way"
I have been reading Foster’s book Prayer, Finding the Hearts True Home. I think it is a good resource, full of information on prayer that I need to know and want to understand. Certainly prayer as I knew it when a child was simpler – just a list of what I needed from God and [...]

Exploring Postmodernism
A few posts ago Peg asked if someone could explain to her what was meant by the “emerging” church. I asked a lot of the same questions when I first discovered the wide world of blogging and kept running into a lot of theological talk I didn’t understand. In spite of my limited understanding of [...]
