life is a narrative. a story with a beginning that began before any of us existed, but with a chapter that belongs to each of us. only this story is one of those choose-your-own adventures, and there are good paths to follow and wrong paths to follow, and sometimes, no matter what path you choose, crap happens anyway. but if we do our best not to go too far from the good path, this amazing thing happens, that doesn't happen in any other kind of story -- the individual chapters begin to weave themselves together in strange and wonderful ways, and suddenly you find that your little piece of the story has helped, or has been helped by, someone elses. and you realise that there's this incredible over-arching story line that's been plotted out since before the first word was written on the first page, and in your brief chapter, you fit into it in a marvelous and unpredictable way.
and the author of that story? He loves you more than you can image.
and the best, most amazing path in your choose-your-own chapter? that's the one He wants you to find.
Haha - nice. That had to be the briefest comment I’ve ever read here. If you were REAL busy - you wouldn’t even time to do that! Glad that things are busy.. hope they all align?! Keep up the great stuff.
Ya, ya. It was brief. We’re back in New York, faxing mortgage paperwork back to Ontario from the office, fielding calls from property inspectors, bankers and car salesmen, wondering if things are going to slow down any time soon… Wishing we had a home of our own before the summer is over.
But still feeling pretty blessed over all. Besides, who would want life to be boring, right?!
Oh well, at least Ben is having a nice, relaxed time with his grandma!

It’s a fun club to be a part of.
Let us know when you will be moving your stuff officially and we will come down to help if we are able to.
