There are events that become significant markers on one's life journey and I have just been involved with two of them. Last week we celebrated my Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding anniversary - wow! What a legacy! It was a wonderful afternoon at the splendid Nassagweya Farm retreat centre, where approximately 90 family and friends passed through to wish my folks well. I know they were thrilled with the day, and I appreciate all those who took the time to come out.
The second event is that tomorrow we will be driving our oldest daughter Danielle to Ottawa to begin university. She will be going to Carleton U. to study Public Affairs and Policy Management, and we're thrilled for her. It will be strange not having her around here, and her sister Julia will miss her especially, but it is the new phase in Danielle's expanding map of the world. We pray that she will find solid friends, and be able to make sense of what she's learning from the perspective of a Christian worldview.
I don't whether all this stuff has heightened my senses or what, but the muse has come upon me strongly this last week, and I'm writing some new songs. It feels good to nurture the imagination and see what emerges; hopefully some work that will last!
