Dandelion Castle

It truely was a epic moment of sorts arriving back here at VTI. We're in the Water Valley area again, in Alberta. When we arrived and came down the hill we were greeted by a field of yellow. Now normally, a yellow field would imply something like, canola, mustard, or perhaps even a large lemon truck collsion with a truck filled with yellow paint. As it was however, this yellow field was of dandelions... I've never seen so many of them. Now I must admit... you can still see green... but if it keeps up like this, you won't in the next few weeks I would say....save for the green of dandelion.
Trekathon, VTI's annual fundraiser was pretty fun minus the absolutely crazy panic in order to get those things in order. But it was good, I didn't get a farmer tan, and I'm almost recovered from the running and biking. I'll try to get some pictures up soon. (We don't have high speed internet here)
For anyone wondering what we've been up to, we just came back from our Manitoba/Aberta tour... we went down to Austin MB, where Bryce is from, and then we ended up after a while there coming back to southern Alberta from whence we had come. Somewhere inbetween all this, we stopped for a bit near Edmonton and then we stayed overnight once in my parent's home in PA. It was real good being back for a little. Thanks Luke a lot for the video work you did! That and the whole Marvel DC thing. heh heh.
God has been working a lot wherever we've been going, and also has been doing a lot in each of our lives individually. For myself, I've been reading more and writing more music and I've been contimplating more significant areas of the Christian life... defining what 'Christian' should look like and how to best be doing what God wants us to do. It's been exciting to see what God is teaching me...
So, that brings us to today... Monday... my Sabbath... I'm enjoying the wind passing through this building and the sun reflecting it's glow off the hill of dandelions... it's all good. We'll be here the next two days planning and prepping and learning. I hope you all are doing well. Thank you for your support and prayers!
Grace and Peace
