A Second Witness
It’s been nearly three-months since coming back to the mainland. In this time, since the nine-weeks on Vancouver Island searching out an ancient well of the Spirit, the various options for a house of prayer have been sifting through my awareness, heart and mind and spirit. It takes time to discern the Lord and ourContinue reading “A Second Witness”
Never the Same

I do not recall how I realized this but it is an old familiar understanding and has become a solid part of the strategy of God through my life. The Lord tells me where to goContinue reading “Clarity & Heart”
Different Kinds of Rules
It’s been a good week. On Wednesday we drove north to Campbell River and to a nearby provincial campsite. All reservable sites were taken but there were first-come-first-served sites were a possibility. We found a beautiful spot at the base of a hill covered by majestic firs and maples; with trunks big as two folksContinue reading “Different Kinds of Rules”
