Today was one of the most beautiful days – in many ways. It was Sunday so there was no guilt in not working in our yard or house. Leo and I took the girls out for lunch since I forgot to get the roast into the oven before I left for church. Right after dinner, [...]

Dancing
I spent the evening at the Rawlinson Centre watching my daughter, Grace, as she performed in the dance competition. This year she was in two group Hip Hop numbers, one a group of five and the other a large line group. It was fun to see her dancing with so much energy. Both the numbers [...]

Small Breaths
Psalm 62:9 (NLT) From the greatest to the lowliest – All are nothing in his sight. If you weigh them on the scales, They are lighter than a puff of air. Small Breaths A puff of air No more, Scarcely even a breath, Our days are nothing. We are born. We live, [...]

One of those rewards I love

What a deal!
I have sent my daughter off to North Battleford to dance competition. She can drive, she’s 18 and so I bravely let her use my car to get there. I am driving hers. What a deal she got! I realized this again as Icrammed myself behind the front wheel. Her seat seems to be stuck [...]

I'm just a bit excited
Wow!!!! The call came this morning at work. I have been accepted into the Certificate in Spiritual Direction program at North Park Seminary in Chicago. I have been waiting – patiently, mostly. I have been trying to wait on God for this and have been telling myself that I would accept whatever comes. [...]
