New Lesson: Rest: Finding Shelter in your storm (Matthew 11)

 "Busy" and "tired" are two words that carry a lot of weight with most of us. "Busy" and "tired" makes us sound important, needed, and like we have something going on. We don't necessarily like the feeling of being being busy and tired, but we like the impression it gives. 

When Jesus comes on the scene, he offers something else: Rest! Relief! Shelter! Hope! I am still learning this lesson, but I know this, it is a good and necessary one. 

(PS. One of the kids kicked the tripod right in the middle of the lesson. Sorry! However, I must say that I am happy that we have kids around the building to kick the thing.... so that is good!) :)

New Article: Think Abundance Not Scarcity

                 “There are no trees in Saskatchewan!”                I have heard that statement many times, mostly from people who moved to Estevan from places like British Columbia or northern Ontario.   Compared to what they expect, Saskatchewan, and Estevan in particular, seems rather barren.   However, that statement is not true.   More than half the province is covered with trees.   Go up north and there are trees everywhere.                A few months ago, I came across an aerial photo of Estevan from the 1950s.   When I showed it to my girls, the first thing they said was, “Wow, there are no trees in that picture!”   The photo looked odd ...
