Dad and I had a walk in the Water Shed forest although we were both a little tired. Walking under the huge trees and breathing in the fresh air was invigorating. We even a few dogs so happy to be out walking. Dad is doing so much better at walking but had some hip pain. I stumbled along and fell over a log; but made a perfect landing and hardly hurt myself at all. Maybe I should have been a stunt person in the movies!.
It is Monday morning and rainy and cool.
Sandra dropped by unexpected, which was nice to cheer me up, and make a few helpful suggestions! She came with some toys she has obtain through work so there will be something here if the Aussie Bennett's decide to come. I am praying for Jassy to get better from her tonsilitis; it can be so painful. Thanks Sandra!
I went over to get my haircut but dad says it looks weird. O well it will grow out unless I should just shave it all off.
Early in the morning dad drove to pick me up on my walk but I was not near the bus stop and had gone with my friend Gundy who is slower so I took longer. I do know what I can do and I just go for a short walk if I am not up to the full one. I appreciate his concern and when I got home went out to look for him. Crazy eh!
I am starting to read a book called "Amen" by Gretta Vosper who is one of the new religious writers.
I will disagree with some of her ideas but I am sure I will learn a lot. Prayer is an important subject for me. Spiritual concepts are crucial to my ability to especially work through difficult situations.
Prqyer is an ancient practice and for me it is sacred.
My favorite scripture is "For in Him we live and move and have our being.". This is Paul talking to the people of Athens who had marked a statue to a unknown god. "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
Jesus who has told us he is the door and he is the light and he is the life that came into a world of darkness and promises a lasting relationship to those who are willing to believe in Him. What a powerful thought.

I'm glad that the exercises that Grandpa has been doing from the Internet seem to be helping his hips. I'll take some credit for telling him that the "bum muscles" are claaed glutes! :)
Arrived safely on Sunday at noon and it very hot here, around 95 degrees by mid-morning and it's strange to hear my Facebook friends in Vancouver talk about turning on the furnace.
Thanks for the ride to the airport!
Love, Panteli
Glad Dad still goes for a walk despite the pain. We took Jasmine back to the DR yesterday. They gave us a referral to a throat specialist at the children's hospital. Melina is busy organizing Matthews birthday party, she is making him a dinosaur cake. Hobey turned 19 last Friday. He is enjoying uni and enjoys his job at pizza hut on the weekends..

You and dad should both carry GPS devices so you can find each other.
The Jesus seminar says it is fairly certain that Jesus did not say, "I am the light of the world." Indeed, they seem to be sceptical of everything in the gospel of John, as it is so different than the other gospels.
Love,
Rick
