Back in Alberta

Clint and I were more than happy to have our internet hooked up yesterday. We now feel connected to the world again!

We've been back for almost two weeks, and are slowly readjusting to this way of life. What a change from Toronto! Rather than sirens, we hear crickets. Rather than obscene yells echoing up from the alleyway, we hear the bulls bellowing from the fields. Best of all, the birds chirp here (as opposed to Toronto's birds that seem to almost groan.)


It still seems a little foreign to call myself a farmwife. I'm probably still more comfortable in my Toronto surroundings, but it is beautiful here.

Last night we enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship with Dan and Marlene Sudfeld (aka Spudfiles and Home Maker). It was a refreshing time for us. It's always a treat to hang out with others who truly love the Lord.

This morning we worshipped with Blackie Community Bible Church. Pastor Todd Braye preached an excellent sermon on the nature of genuine, saving faith. There was an Edwards - like emphasis on the necessity of affections for Christ, and exhortation on how to achieve or increase our love for Christ.

We have had some discouragements and also some encouragements since returning. But God has been faithful in it all. We miss our dear friends in Toronto, but we also look to the Lord with anticipation for the future.
