Personal

 I woke up today and headed off to a pancake breakfast.  A volunteer  appreciation breakfast.  Except I'm trying to stay away from sausages. Then got together with some other church pastors/administrators from town.  Put on coffee that was thick - they seemed to like it. Then home for lunch - mow the lawn, take down old Christmas tree lights and  clean the garage out so we can get the car in during the winter.   Talk to a few neighbours - meet some new ones. Now I'm at the church working on a sermon.  Peggy just dropped by with cookies for one of the church programs.  She graciously let me help myself.  Voortman's be praised! And now with ginger peach tea in hand and a Voortman's cookie at my side, I'm riding into the sunset finishing off the last draft of my Sunday sermon. That's life!!

10 Billion US dollars! All in 600 barrels.  On Crusoe Island(s).  One could become rich being a treasure hunter!

I want to . . . , have to. . . , love to . . . write.  So, I struggle to make sure I'm readable. Having just begun a blog I'm asking how I'm doing already!  I remember reading Randall Friesen's blog.  A while  back he asked the why of writing a blog.  And how do you get people to read your blog.  And who are you really targeting.  I go to his blog everyday - maybe he's figured some of that out! Thanks to those who have given feedback.  I've gone back and rewritten a few blogs.  I think they are better.  And in the future, I hope you keep coming back!

I looked through the viewfinder of my camera yesterday.  I saw a beautiful body of water (someone suggested I call this blog today, "A fine 'dam' town!").  We walked around the dam with an old friend of my fathers, saw a skateboarder, a fisher, a family.   Where else would you want to be! And then of course, across the expanse of water we could just see . . .
