It is hard to wrap up after a course like this one. There has been so much that I have learned – about myself, about my ways of listening to God, about what I will do with all this.
I came with a lot of fear. I found that I have found a place that [...]

Viewing Chicago – without a lens
Yesterday, I really regretted not bringing my camera along to Chicago. Randall and I took of for the heart of the city for our free time from the course. We visited Millennium Park after wandering around a bit in the downtown and sort of getting lost finding our way under the road to the side [...]

What an Anniversary!
Today – Happy Anniversary Leo – I guess after 36 years we can stand a few days, even if one is our anniversary, apart. I went out for Thai food today, Leo – it was very good. Missed you.
Today has been good but pretty intense. New ways of experiencing God and of being sensitive to [...]

Off to Chicago
And here we are!
We arrived in Chicago, no mishaps, very little weather on the flights till we got close to Chicago. Near Chicago, just a bit before we began our descent, the clouds started to build. There were some huge thunderclouds we had to skirt. Up there in the clouds it was pretty cool. [...]

Looking [...]

Happy Birthday Kieran!
Today Kieran is three years old. Showing how old you are with fingers is the hardest at three. He hasn’t quite got the dexterity to do that yet. But he can drive!
Yesterday I decided to make a quick trip to Saskatoon to take him(and his mom) out for supper and take him a few [...]

Summer at the office
I enjoy having a summer dental student around. There are a couple of reasons for this. For one, it makes me realize how much I have learned over the years. Secondly, I am reminded of how necessary it is to stay up to date with techniques and treatments.
Often the student will come up with an [...]
