Home

Home is a funny concept these days.  Home is where I am.  Being content and peaceful with where I am.   It's funny because although I love to travel and see things, I am a nester.  And home to me is important.

It's been a busy month, and it's flying by! 

We had to say goodbye (or really, "see ya later") to all our beloved YWAM friends in Vancouver.  To my home for the last 8 years.   That felt like hell.  We have some great photos of our farewell party as well as the DTS love feast, but we haven't been able to get them online yet, more of those to come in a later post.

We are currently in Saskatchewan (my first home), enjoying our nieces and nephew and family as much as we can.  We have to get filled up as much as possible, as we are leaving to Australia in only a week and a few days.    
This is to be our new home.

The exciting news is that we have a great new house to go to in Australia.  Here are some pictures from the website.  It will be great to make this house into our home.  And it will be great to build home with Leigh's family.

wow, you really are going. That is very exciting. Amy and I are going to Kona for her school of photography in one week, then praying about Saskatchewan for a year to be close to her family for a bit. It is hard and weird, but I'm glad you are doing it.

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.
