Picture we had taken in The Hague so that people in the congregation at Peoples Church would have something to look at while they listened to Charles Price and me talk on the phone. Quick photo, but I like it.

End of April already?
The last couple months have gone by so quickly. My brother Ben visiting for a couple of weeks, heading of to Holland for two further weeks of training with Christian Associates. We had hoped initially to stay a little longer and spend time with friends and mentors, but by the end of the (not even) two weeks we were all just too tired and wanted to get home to rest and get back into our regular routine. We also didn't want to move all of our stuff AGAIN (moving into another place for the time we'd remain there and then out).
We had a good time there. It was Maja's first road-trip and she did really well. Only a little intolerable screaming in the car. Kaleb is a natural after having done so much travelling already in his life. Since we got home he has constantly been asking when we are going on a trip again.
It was a rather interesting trip. We got away late because my brother's flight reservation got messed up and he missed the flight. So after trying to help him deal with all that, we hit the road trying to make it to Frankfurt on Oder (5 hour drive under normal conditions) before we would have to stop. When we started it was sunny, then dark, then rainy, then snowy, then we hit construction. All of this while getting progressively more tired. The construction under normal circumstances would have been unbearable. But the kids were sleeping well, and then Renata and I both went to sleep. YES, went to sleep. We were standing still for about an hour. So that little respite helped us keep moving. We finally made it to the hotel in Frankfurt at nearly 2am. Boy did bed feel good. Otherwise the trip wasn't bad. Over the last couple of years the length of high-quality motorway has increased by at least 100% which makes the drive within Poland a lot easier.
So we are now back in the city. Following new inspiration for ministry and developing more ideas.
Highlights of the last few weeks: my brother Ben hangin with us for a little while, going something like 200metres down into the earth in the salt mines near Krakow, talking with Charles Price on the phone while 3500 people listened in, hanging out with some of our good friends in The Hague, doing my immigration interview in Polish, Maja standing up easily (not to mention charming anyone near her when we are out in public.), going out to my favorite restaurant in the city for my birthday with Renata. Oh yeah, and the Ottawa Senators going out in the first round of the playoffs.
I'll post photos later today.
