One Year in Madoc and the Introduction to “Practical Ministry” (Part 1)
“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

Roses, Recipes, Butterflies, Goodbyes
This past week I felt closer to my true purpose than ever before. I knew it would be a busy long weekend… three weddings, a rehearsal, driving up to London to get my baby boy settled in at University, back to Toronto for the night… and then I’d be off! Three days in Muskoka, visiting cottages, swimming, sunning and relaxing with friends. Because I was determined to squeeze every last …
