Home!

Josh & Debbie at Debbie’s brother’s wedding

We had a great summer!  A sure sign of a great summer is that it went by way to fast. It feels like school just let out and we were looking forward to spending time with friends and family, going to camp and a road trip out to Alberta.  Now we’re on the other side of summer looking back and wondering where all the time went.

As great as the summer was there is something about being back at home, putting clothes into a closet instead of a suitcase and getting into a rhythm of life again that is comfortable.

It takes a little bit for the comfort to set back in though when it’s also a new season of work/ministry.  Then it’s also a time to re-evaluate, make plans and get the troops organized.  I’m looking forward to a few things that are in the works presently.  Here’s a taste of what’s going on:

I met with the ISCF student leaders last week and we came up with some pretty good plans for this year.  As it stands right now we do not have a teacher adviser or a classroom to meet in but we’re taking advantage of that and will be meeting outside while it’s nice and thinking about our options.

We also planned a schedule for our discussions.  The first Wednesday of the month will be a prayer time for the school and each other.  Week two will be about current events, led by one of the students.  I will take the third week of the month answering some “What Does the Bible Say?” questions about God, Jesus, Heaven.  Basically a bit of Theology 101 (but the word Theology sounds scary to most people so I’ll try not to use it.)  The fourth week will be a Wild Card (led by the other student leader) which means it might be a game or a discussion or … well, anything!
