Some Monday Humour

Ahh laughter, where would we be without it?

While I've been home in Ontario, my friend had her twin girls and the day that she was giving birth, I stopped by her house to see how her other little guy was doing. My friends and their kids were there making robots to fill up the time before they could visit the hospital. Sadly, it turned out that the children were afraid of the robots, so in an effort to show them that it's just a person in a box, I donned one. Here is the video of me trying to get out ~




A picture of the final robots modeled by my friend Beth and myself.




And some words from the children about their robot experience...





So the moral of the story is ...just give them a box and do refrain from shiny paper.

Mercy

I sit at a desk in my parent's house in Ontario. I marvel at how I got here. In the last post I wrote about making the difficult decision to postpone the technical evaluation until late summer. It was very hard to make that call at the time, however now I can see that the Lord's hand was there. If I were still on the original path, I would be leaving next week to head down to Nampa, Idaho to start a week long flight examination. On this new path, I get to spend my daily life with someone I dearly love as they go through a very difficult time in their life. The delay was a mercy. The Lord opened up a way for me to fly to Ontario and stay with my family. This is a good path.

I am so thankful.
