BC / AB / WA Camping Trip
Back at the end of June, my sisters Cheryl and Karen flew out to BC to visit Shannon and I. After touring around Vancouver a bit, we drove to Kelowna, then on to Banff National Park where we met up with Chad and Mel. After transferring Cheryl and Karen to them, Shannon and I continued…

Shannon’s Knee MRI
I finally am getting a chance to post the MRI picture of Shannon’s knee, in case any of you wanted to see it. First, though, here’s a link to a site that shows an MRI of a normal ACL ligament. As you can see, the ACL goes diagonally from the lower left to upper right.…

Our Visionary Leader
I’ve been thinking about God this evening. I’ve seen God in a number of ways before – as a Father, as my Rescuer, as the Almighty Creator, and more. And, as I think about those things, it reminds me of how great our God. But, my heart was thrilled in a new way tonight. Have you…

Perspectives on Missions
Shannon and I have been in classes all this week. We’re taking a course called “Perspectives on the World Christian Movement” (www.perspectives.org) which is taught all over the place. It gives biblical, historical, cultural, and strategic perspectives on missions, and it’s fantastic. The course started for us about a month ago when we signed up.…

New toys for summer

Star Wars according to a 3-year old
One pastime Shannon and I enjoy is looking up fun YouTube videos, and sharing them with others. We both found this one hilarious, and quite cute, so I thought I’d share it with you all.

Trip to Comox
Oh, how I enjoy time to get away from the regular routine, to relax, reflect, and hang out with people! Shannon and I needed some time like that, so we planned a trip over to Vancouver Island from Feb 29 to March 3rd. We stayed with Chris and Judy Gytenbeek and their 4 kids, who…

Pictures of our (semi) new place
We moved to a new place in Surrey in September, and finally got a chance to post some pictures. I put them in a web album rather than inline in this post – click here to view them.

Ahh, it looks like Christmas
We finally got a Christmas tree! We were a little late getting one, and it just didn’t feel like Christmas yet. After setting it up, I thought I’d play with my new camera and see how well it did taking pictures in REALLY low light, with the main lights off and just the Christmas lights…

My New Camera!
When I was a kid, there was one birthday where I got a new remote control truck. That stands out as one of the times I was most excited about a present. Well, this past birthday rivals that one. Shannon secretly talked to a bunch of friends and family, and asked them to contibute towards…
