POPULARITY

One can see why North View Golf Club
 is a very popular place.

The food is good and also reasonable.

Dad and I had an excellent lunch and great fun spending time with Jane and Geof.  Yes, I do admire Jane for her faith and her courage and her unfailing sense of humor.  We have been friends for many, many years and have had our good times and difficult times as well.

This also is a good distance home for us both.

Faith on the other hand is not a pursuit of popularity.


Truth is not always expressed by public opinion.

We each in our own way are called to live out what we believe.  This may be in simple daily tasks of paying your bills, or being a good neighbor, being accepting of the views and opinion of others, being generous with our time and talents and fiancés.

I believe there is strength in humility.

I like to be pleasant towards others if possible.

I am happy and proud to be a Canadian but do not agree with all our politicians do, or are promising to do.

I am happy and proud to be a Christian, one who tries to follow the teachings of Christ, and yet I do not agree with all that is expressed as Christianity.  There are changes being made which I see as being positive.  There is much to be learnt in discussions together.

God's words to Moses at the burning bush were "Remove your shoes for the place you are standing is holy ground.
"For God, in creating us, gave our lives significance,"  - J. Sack

Northview is very pretty, though not half way if Jane is driving from north van.

Did some studying tonight, Mary has now signed up for 2 courses so she can have better job prospects when they move out here.

I hope dad finds some relief soon, even if it means stronger drugs.

Jane is still in Langley. Needs time before making decisions about moving.

Good for Mary. So great to have special times to look forward too.

Looking forward to seeing family to-morrow at your place.
