Went to the Regina Promise Keeper’s meeting Friday and Saturday.

“The Awakening” had great music you could feel!  And various plenary (love that word – just means “main”) speakers.  Pushing us as men to awaken to the needs in our own lives, in the life of the church and the world around us.  A good reminder.

I’m reminded that I have been a part of this PK movement for a decade.  One of my greatest fears is that we end up growing old together and not reaching out to other men!

Well, I’ve got a blog site almost ready to go.

Hopefully by Tuesday you can catch some of my meanderings on things like God, the church, emerging, spiritual disciplines and whatever strikes me at the moment!

Stay tuned.  I’ll let you know when I’m up and running!

Today I checked for leaves in the eavestrough! 

One blessing of living in a prairie town.  No need for a leaf blower!  Hurricane gale prairie breezes lift those leaves right out of the eavestrough and deposit them in Ontario, or who knows where!

Which got me to thinking.  My son is on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.  They stay away from any sign of hurricanes.  Better safe than sorry!

So why do we put campsites on bald prairie?  Or golf into the breeze?  This could all be dangerous to our health.  

I’m told insurance companies are even now preparing “Prairie Regulars Are Yearning Extensive Rehabilitation” (PRAYER) insurance.  For each PRAYER claim, the insurance companies increase your premiums by God knows how much!  The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind!
