    A Life God Rewards: Why Everything You Do Today Matters Forever

    Hello to Xangaland!

    2009 has come and I don't feel the least bit prepared for it! Too many things to do with too little time to get them done....

    I know many of you have been wondering about the 2008 widows banquets we did in 8 different communities in Manitoba. I'm uploading a nice amount of pictures especially for you! (Just go to the photos tab and have a look - see!) The rest of you don't need to feel obligated to look at them LOL

    It feels good to be back in Manitoba for a few winter months - the ice and snow are uncomfortable but... this is my homeplace and I feel at peace here. In February I'll be heading to EBI for 6 amazing weeks (at least from last year's experience i think i can say "amazing!!!")  In May I shall go to FL for Steph's grad - can't believe she's doing grade 12 already! Plans are to go back to Mexico sometime this summer to teach VBS in the mountains again - really looking forward to that. I'm not sure yet if my family will be going back there in February already....

    Well, can't think of much more that things to share so.... let me share some pictures of this winter.

    Mexico Widows Banquet '08

     IMG_5134 IMG_5135 IMG_5140 IMG_5143 IMG_5144 IMG_5145 IMG_5146 IMG_5147 IMG_5152 IMG_5155 IMG_5157 IMG_5164 IMG_5169 IMG_5178 IMG_5181 IMG_5186 IMG_5188 IMG_5196 IMG_5202 IMG_5213 IMG_5214 IMG_5226 IMG_5238 IMG_5250 IMG_5254 IMG_5243 IMG_5263 IMG_5264

     

    If you want to see more pictures of our time in Mexico, go to the "photos" tab.

    And, yes, to anyone who may have been concerned, I *am* still alive :) Need proof? Just look at all the pictures - as a matter of fact I think I'm more alive right now than I have been for some time. Mexican adventures demand my full attention and I cannot afford to miss any of the wonderful things God sends my way!

    Blessings to ya'll! And thanks again to everyone who was praying for the banquet - you are the people that keep us going....
