Toast.

Of course, I haven't done much in the area of blogging over the summer. Apologies. However, I will do my best throughout the coming school year to deliver the occasional update. Regrettably, there won't be any stories of climbing mountains or sailing the seas, but I'll do my best to keep you up to date on whatever my life may consist of in the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan.

And we begin:

I've spent the past three days in Winnipeg visiting the incredible Tom Bietz, my good friend and old roommate. Of course, in the company of Tom, there has been much to do. The days have yielded downtown explorations on bicycles, ultimate frisbee with strangers, indoor climbing, golfing and other various pursuits. Also, it would be a great injustice not to mention the amazing cuisine of Mrs. Bietz. Most important though, were the conversations and prayers Tom and I have been able to have. I've missed this guy. Such a visit could only have been orchestrated by a loving and gracious God.


In other news, I'm leaving Winnipeg tonight on the next Greyhound outta here. I'm embarking on, what can only be described as, an unfortunate 1o hour bus ride to Saskatchewan. There is nothing pleasing about this situation. Except that, of course, I will finally arrive at Briercrest. I'm excited for this year. In all honesty, I'm a little scared of some of my classes (i.e. greek). However, I'm confident in God's leading in this and in that I find comfort. So here I go again - back to another year in Canada.

So, here's a toast to another year in this familiarly foreign land.

Goodbye.
