THE VISIT

LUNCH MENU
THE INSIDE - VERY NICE PLACE

KIMBERLEY JOINS US FOR A LITTLE VISIT


OUR FAVORITE WAITRESS



THE ENTRANCE - RATHER UNDER-STATED - SIDE STREET - GETS BETTER INSIDE



We finally made it to the restaurant where Kim works in New Westminster. A very beautiful place, big and open, friendly and warm. It was too bad Ken could not visit during his visit with us; we enjoyed every moment of catching up with all he has been doing; and Randy and Sandy were not able to join us yesterday. The meal was Delicious but right now I cannot remember the name of the place so hopefully dad will remember when he wakes up. Piatos I think.

Afterwards we had some time with Mike and his son Michael. It is good to meet people that you have heard about but now we have a face to remember.

Hopefully our family is finally getting over the bad sore throat and cold we have all had to some degree or another.

Tonight our group comes over to study our book "Why Faith Matters." We all believe that faith should matter and as we seek answers together somehow our lives will take on a deeper meaning that produces within us more love and compassion for life and for our family and our friends.


Faith that is taught and learnt by "religious instruction" can be a powerful force for good or for abuse. The disciples who lived with Jesus and heard his teachings often only heard what they wanted to hear. He told them story after story to help them see beyond themselves and see the hurting world that needed hope not more rituals that outwardly can make us look good while inwardly there has been no change. Change is hard for all of us.
The Promise
Jesus told his followers that he was leaving them but to remember His Spirit would aways walk with them. We may feel alone at times but if we believe the promise of the Spirit we are not really alone.
