As I completed the last trek of the day with my four footed friends - three laps around the tear drop drive – the day had passed before me as a slow Power Point presentation. It was good, really quite great. In the morning I carefully spot treated a couple of white pieces of apparel and hung them outside to dry. Cleaned, well, tidied, my bedroom. It had become a catch all, and had caught a fair bit. I tried changing the placement of the furniture, but ended up, after a thorough cleaning, putting everything back where it came from. Spent a bit of time trimming the lilacs. I used to do that in one fell swoop but this year, well, there wasn’t any rush and so over a three day period I snipped and clipped away at them. Did get the debris all transported to the burning pile. Broke for a bowl of soup with friends. Friendship, rest and back to work.

Driving through Manitoba on the Trans Canada Highway, you could be forgiven for thinking that there isn’t much to Manitoba. Except for a few sections, it’s a lot of wide open, flat prairie. Even Manitobans, who know that there is more to our province than wide expanses of flat, can get caught up in thinking that there isn’t much here.

The following verses are listed in The Bible as The Great Commission. Matthew 28:18-20 states, “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’”
