Vancouver 2010

This past week our television has been on a LOT more than it normally is. We've been caught up a bit in the Olympic frenzy that is all around us. I just read a friend's blog and it said so nicely what has been going through my mind. It's very easy to get caught up in the excitement and the glory of the competition but really there is no room for the glory or acknowledgment of God.

This said, we did go to Vancouver this past Monday as the kids had the day off for President's Day. There are many free venues if you have the patience to stand in lineups. We did enjoy the 4D experience of Ontario House - way to go Tourism Ontario!! I was, however, rather surprised that every Canadian venue we went to had mostly "first nations" displays, dances, etc. I'm wondering whether the world realizes that there are a few caucasians living there as well.

Is it really Spring?

We've had some unseasonably dry & sunny days this winter. In fact, you can hardly call this winter. The following verse comes to mind - also as we look forward to Henry's new employment. Seasons always come to an end. This has been a great reminder of God's faithfulness & how we need to trust Him through all circumstances.

"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." Gen. 8:22
