We had a party tonight. It was our annual Family Advent Program with the usual astonishing talent and this year it was followed by a catered finger food (ie:wings and ribs and wraps and lots of sweet stuff) meal and games night. I think Pictionary was the biggest hit. We had a good evening together [...]

Labyrinth
Before the Friesen’s moved out to the field, I asked Lauralea if she would create for me a finger labyrinth that I could use in prayer. I love walking a labyrinth, praying as I go in to the centre, sitting in the centre with my needs in God’s presence, waiting on him there and then [...]

The coffee is as good as ever. Last week while I was out grocery shopping, I almost literally ran into a [...]

Click
One of the reasons I wanted to make changes to my blog format was that I wanted to be able to show off share my photos. Well, some are good although most are just so so – like any amateur would take. But they are more fun to take when there is a way to [...]

Maybe I should just go to bed
I guess this is just one of those weeks that seems endless and terribly busy. It’s Wednesday already so half the work week is gone. Before I know it Christmas will be here and I am in no way ready for that big event. It is a big family event and it is good but [...]

Ready to Roll
I am thinking that this is about as much work as I am going to do on this site for a bit. The blogroll is up. I can post. New comments will actually show up. But other comments are there in the background lurking in secret. Just try clicking on the No Comments buttons and [...]
