Our denomination holds a District (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and parts of Ikaluit and Ontario) policy and meeting conference every two years.  This Monday – Wednesday is our biennial meeting.

I’ll be there.  I’ll chair a finance committee.  I’ll enjoy great speakers.  I’ll eat good food.  I’ll share in making decisions.  I’ll go with a friend.  I’ll miss home.

See you back here in a few days.

Ezekiel bread

Never tried it before.  Will try it again.  You can pick up the recipe off the internet by just entering “Ezekiel Bread”.

Our youth group were challenged to obey God regardless of how unexpected things would be.  This is the case with Ezekiel, an Old Testament prophet.  He was very dramatic and certainly unpredictable (actually God was unpredictable, Ezekiel just followed through).  We talked about not getting enough exercise (he was lying on his one side for 390 days!), about small portions of food he ate, and cooking over a cow dung fire.

All good illustrations to remind us that we should do what God asks us to do, regardless of how weird things may seem!!

What fun!

We heard about Mexico.  We heard about God’s love.  We heard about the trials and the great times.

Good stuff!  Almost makes me want to venture down south!!

Book-ending a meeting

OK, this is not about about reading.  Neither is it about ending a meeting by overwhelming someone with the latest novel.

Today I as off to Rosetown (down the road) for a meeting.  As it happened, I have relatives there.  So I arranged for a meeting before and one after.

Then on the way home, I also stopped in to see one of our parishioners.  Having left at 8:00 in the morning, I arrived back in time for supper at 5:45.  This almost feels like the commute some people take to get to work at 9:00 and home by 5:00.  I guess I enjoy having a five minute drive to and from work.

The business meeting went well.  The relative meetings went well.  The “drop in” meeting also went well.  Well, well, well!  Deep subject!

Very punny!

Back home and still moving!!
