Being in the office in Lacombe, in the centre of much activity, can leave me buzzing.  There is always so much to do and so many people to interact with. Sometimes in the business of it all I forget to breathe and rest in God’s grace and faithfulness.  It is amazing...

While I was visiting a city in Canada recently, I went on a journey to find a special coffee shop I had heard about. A friend had mentioned it was a 30 minute walk, which seemed reasonable. When he offered to show me how to get there, I gladly accepted the offer....

At this point in the summer, the word I would use to describe my feelings is anticipation. Anticipation for CAYU as we look to a change in leadership, anticipation as we dream about God’s leading in programs for the fall, and anticipation in what He plans to do in the...

Well were off! We had a great time of prayer as we waited for our last two students (who shall remain nameless) to arrive. With a lot of yawns and a couple of choked backed tears we loaded the vans and are now looking at the skyline of Calgary. It was easy to get...
