“Humanity is nourished by its connection with nature, those links providing spiritual sustenance too, because in contemplating them, human beings become sensible of the patterns and harmonies that run through all things.” -Mark Vernon
Nature speaks and sparks new life into our very being. Questions make for a lively discussion.
My walk was cold and slow and I think about the Sun Runners shedding their warm clothes as they run. I am glad I went the one time it was a fun experience. Dad and I would have loved to be at the finish line to see our happy little group. Way to go girls and Ben too
Race times Ben: 1.07, Kim :1.07. Leah:1.07, Theresa :1.14
I ended up with three sermons. First I think Rick's comments could be a sermon, then I meet Joanne on my walk and she gave me her views on life and God and this would be a better world if we were all a bit more humble and compassionate and forgiving like Jesus, and then at church the sermon was on "blessed are those who have not seen yet believe".
The interesting point the minister made was that Jesus appeared to many people after his resurrection but all where believers. Why did he not appear to those who had put him to death or non-believers? Certainly his appearances changed the lives of those cowardly disciples.
And certainly science and religion are ways of looking at the same truth and can appear to oppose but they can strengthen each other. Both generate wonder. But religion can not only touch the heart but bring new life to the soul. Jesus taught that people were more important than rules and doctrine and he promised that his spirit would live in those who opened the door and allowed his spirit to breath upon them.
Dr. Nolte's office has called to have me come in for a visit. I do not think there are any answers to my questions. Dad's question is did I have a small stroke and my question is why I cannot walk far without loosing my balance? I am trying my best to improve and am doing so but. . . . .

Well, maybe he wants to check in and see your opinion on the specialists you have seen so far. Sorry we did not make it over on the weekend. Did not get any yard work done, just pipding around getting stuff ready for everyone. Did dad get his wood cut? Does he need a different saw? James has ours right now, he is building a kitchen island. Sandra
No he did not. He says it cannot be done. A busy week-end for you.
The kids did well I just put their times in my blog
love mom
Dad has a plan which he just told me so no worries!
Did you run in the marathon, a few years ago? That is quite an achievement! How far did you go? I have never done that...but walk a lot. Yesterday, Max, Bella and I went on a new route...through a bush road that turned in to two feet of snow....they had to really hop and I had to step high...but we made it out of there. Sure was tired when we got home as it was the longest walk yet.
Well, that is good, you got a call to go and see Dr, Nolte...hopefully he will gave some answers for you and some help. I got a call too, to see my doc about the sinus xray he did. I have chronic sinus problems. That is our Liberian doctor...who is Muslim. He is a good doctor and actually really cares. Unlike many you see these days.
I think Larry would need a chain saw to cut a 4 by 4. My son is a carpenter and has all the tools...should I send him over? Too bad we live so far apart!
Have a great day,
N
PS....temperature at 1pm is plus 1....and a cold steady rain...but it could be worse as there is snow in Saskatchewan. YUP..April 28th!
Yes Nancy I walked and ran in the Sun Run with Sandra and her daughter in 2006. I thought it was so special to do it with them.
The 4 x 4 has been cut. Thanks for the offer.
I had bad sinuses too a few years ago and after antibiotics had an operation which was just a day surgery but you could not do much for a week. Good luck.
love beth
