Cumberland, Vancouver Island



Leigh and I had the chance to visit my cousin Devinder and wife, Marussia, Auntie Marleen and Uncle Narsinghs' new place in Cumberland on Vancouver Island this week.

My parents flew out to meet us there too. We had a great time, checking out their new place and the plans they have for it, as well as meeting their new chocolate lab, Kona, and playing Cranium!

Dev and Reesh are soon to be parents, and we are excited to meet the newest member soon. We were glad to help them out a bit in their new place as Reesh was on complete bedrest and Devinder was busy laying hardwood floor in their living room. We are hoping and praying that she carries to full term and has a safe and healthy delivery. Check out her blog for the latest updates.

We also saw cousin Christie, Nate, and their 3 beautiful children. Afterwards my parents, and Leigh and I took the ferry back to Vancouver, and spent a few days there visiting friends, and showing them our place and around our YWAM base.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
