A few things:

First....we are big fans of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, also known as The Swell Season. If you'd like to hear/ watch them perform....check this out. They are coming to Vancouver, and we think we are going to go check them out!

Second...Heidi is 29 weeks, today! She is healthy we are really getting excited to meet this kid. Right at this very moment, she is walking our neighbor's dog, then we are going to go on our own walk to a coffee shop to drink God's nectar and chat, and in the afternoon we will go to work. Tonight while I'm leading a Bible study, Heidi's goin' climbing with a friend.

Third, not sure if you know about my Dad's blog. He's currently in Manila. His job is to take Phd students all around the world and help them to learn how to be transformational leaders in their own cities. His blog is worth a visit, because his last post is about the devastation he is encountering due to the VERY recent typhoon. Here's an excerpt...

The vision from my hotel room includes this building that has collapsed from the recent Typhoon Ketsana in Manila. This is but a tiny example of the devastation that residents are still dealing with in the aftermath. Now, even two weeks later, the waters are still creating a glut of piled up trash, and sludge. Typhoon Parma followed Ketsana and is still parked over the north of Luzon dumping meters of rain on a fatigued population. But here's my question: Is this an act of God, as they say? Well, of course. It's a natural disaster, right? Rain is God's territory...

Intrigued?....go visit his blog to check out more of his reflection...

Fourth, OK. Enough....coffee calls. Peace yo
