Across the miles...Angie, A, and Cindy recently staffed a booth at the CBC fair. It was great to have A there from across the miles. Many people stopped and asked about her and the work she is doing. Looking forward to the real deal...

New Kitchen - Our new kitchen is underway. Appliances were delivered last week. Dining room cupboards should be installed this week...then a template needs to be made for the counter. Once that is done we wait for the counter to be installed, then complete the project with a new pantry/cupboard and jazzy back splash.

All this at the same time I am supposed to be preparing a talk on pinching pennies. Hummmm....any advice?

"Double Pretty" is a phrase coined by A and her friends when putting together outfits in their new countries. Not wanting to be left out, I joined the double pretty crowd on our bike ride last Saturday. Ron offered his plaid shorts, but I am not advanced enough to be "triple pretty!"

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:2 The Message

Today there is no danger of me fitting in without thinking!
