Oh the difference a day makes! This time yesterday, Timo was beginning his first day of the Christmas holiday and looking forward to going ice-skating downtown. Today, he’s got a splint on his foot and his first pair of crutches. Continue reading
Last Sunday morning I hopped on an Air Canada Express jet to start the trip back to France after three great weeks back home. When I think of those three weeks, I am thankful for I experienced the hand, and faithfulness, of God once again. Isn’t that what having a living, current relationship with God all about… experiencing him afresh on a regular basis?! Continue reading

Let’s go!
