We bought ourselves a hair trimming kit the other day. Ben’s hair was getting a little long and we figured for the same price of a haricut we could buy a trimmer and then all future haircuts would be free. Good idea? We thought so. Inside the haircutting kit was also a pair of scissors.…

Isn’t that a question we all ask? Am I good enough? Did I do enough good things this week? Does God really love me for who I am or who I try to be? He does. Really love you I mean. We were studying Acts this week- great book that Acts. Crazy adventures, Paul, Peter, stoning,…

I know what you’re thinking. This doesn’t sound like Ben. Doesn’t sound too much like Angela either. Then who could it be!? Who has usurped one of the best blogs on the internet? Well none other than the same man who shares the exact same birthday as our dear friend Ben. No this is not…

Well the time is flying by, a month has passed already. We got our first letter this week as well as Angela’s first birthday card! Thanx. We spent this week studying the book of Luke. Luke wrote it to a Roman official, Theophilus to give him an accurate account of all that transpired concerning…

I wish I could type more each day, but it is really difficult with one hand. Please continue to pray for recovery, it is really swollen which hurts quite a bit. One thing I’ve been trying to learn is to be a little less independent. Anyone who knows me well knows that I can be…

"Right now doc?" Well I didn’t actually call him doc, but he did take me by surprise. I have to tell you this story. My wrist has really been bothering me since I got here and I noticed a bump (turned out to be a ganglion cyst- not dangerous) on the top of my…

We had just turned on the bomber game and were waiting for kick-off when it suddenly got loud. Ben and I thought it was just the kids upstairs above us, but then we knew something was wrong. The whole building was shaking. Ben quickly reacted and brought me under a door frame (I was just panicking so…

Aids- A serious fatal disease of the immune system. There is no known cure. Stats- Aids has killed more than 25 million people since 1981- more than four Jewish Holocausts or 22 Rewandan genocides. Africa has 12 million AIDS orphans. Pray- that God would intervene against this epidemic, that he would raise up…

That was the other name of Ephesus! The book of Ephesians is written to a group of people who grew up in a culture where if one god is good then two was better. There were Mystics, Artemis worship, Emperor worship, cosmological dualism (flesh is bad, spirit is good) and Judaism. Most people didn’t just…

"A few years ago I ws asked the question, ‘What will be the greatest global challenge as we enter the 21st century?’ You may think of war, terrorism, famine, AIDS and a number of other colossal needs, which surely all qualify. But among the most serious issues is gender injustice- the abuse and suppression of…

This weekend was wonderful as we enjoyed some friends on their honeymoon. Sunday morning breakfast was a special treat with Graham and Pamela Penner and Graham’s bud Bryan! We missed out on thanksgiving – but we gave thanks anyway – phoning our family gatherings and hearing the joy. And the Skimo’s lost to the Al’s…

Notice something new on our website? Yes that is right! A video player. We are going to be putting mini video’s on our site every once in awhile. It may take awhile to ‘buffer’ but just hit play first, and then go down to read the blog or look at some pictures. It took about 1…

No we don’t mean a baby (sorry moms!) We just posted our study schedule on the left side of the page. Some people might like to follow along with us. Each week we will be posting what we have discovered in the bible, and we hope that if you read along with us you will post what you…

When you are landing in Honolulu, all you can see is ocean around you. I was gripping Ben’s hand, just as he gripped my hand tighter too. We really were in the middle of the Pacific ocean. But our plane did touch down on concrete and we made it here safely. Even though our trip to Hawaii started with a bit…

Grandma Klassen gave us a card that said, "The best things in life aren’t things." Some people might disagree, but our trip so far has reminded us that family and friends bring so much joy! We left on Thursday morning and drove to Briercrest Saskatchewan where we enjoyed an awesome meal with Maria and…

It felt like the 100th to do list for the week! I scanned it and realized there was no way I could get everything done before Thursday morning-scheduled time of departure! Ben is telling me I need to learn to let somethings be undone. We leave in 1 1/2 days for Hawaii (after a one day visit at…

Well, Ben just got back from a very difficult, busy week at camp- but he loved it! He was a counsellor for boys ages 14-15 and was the only counsellor in his cabin- we are talking difficult time! But Ben, as only Ben can do, absolutely loved on those kids! Way to go honey! (as…

Summer has been very busy, but this weekend will be a break for us as we go camping with some friends at Clear Lake. Some BBQ, a little bonfire, definitely some swim time and some time to rest, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Enjoy the weekend! Ben and Ang
