Resting in the Whirlwind

I'm back at home now. The trip to Saskatchewan was really awesome! Ian, Stacey, Daniel and I got some really great video footage of the whole ordeal. We kept thinking the entire time, "Imagine how great it would be to get someone who has only ever lived in the middle of LA and plant them right in the middle of Turtleford... or at least take them on this trip."

We saw much that was different, but saw much that is always the same. Real people, loving a real God, wanting more. No matter where you are, who you are, what demographic you are from this is the great equalizer and puts everyone on the same page. Why? Because now we're all on the page of heaven rather then our worldly place of being.

So now I'm home for a little while. Now it is the strange mix of great rest and great whirlwind. The two blow in from time to time while I'm home. There is the business stuff, the MyCanada stuff and the lives here in Edmonton stuff that I love and fight for everyday.

Dad just told us that the farmer's alminac says that this fall will be really cold with lots of snow. Normally this would make me begin to dry heave, but this time I am really excited. Why? Because we have Daniel with us. Daniel, who if you watch our video was wearing my hoodie, my heavy winter parka, a touque and a sleeping bag while the rest of us were in flip flops and t-shirts. Poor Daniel. But it will open up a whole new real of amazing adventure! I love introducing people to real winter.

Hmmmm... what else... Oh yes... I'm currently fighting waves of panic as when we packed everything up from the weekend in Saskatchewan we packed up the wrong power cord for my computer. This is not good. Especially now. I need on that thing. Luckily we located who had the right one and it should be here today.

So here's to road trips that include:
- The world's largest easter egg
- Canada's largest Turtle
- 40 Km's of mud road that we thought was a good short cut
- Passing multiple combines driving down the highway
- Having Dim Sum (sp?) with a whole ton of people, all of whom did not speak english and two were actually just arrived from Hong Kong
- Seeing the Dinosaurs
- Getting pulled over by the Sherrif, but also getting to have a picture taken with him
- Driving home late in the night only to realize that our headlights no longer worked and we could only have the brights on, which made people real happy... so we tried to drive with the hazards on, but that is less then recommended as its like driving with a strange strobe light at 100km/h
