A trip of a lifetime



 I get asked a lot what I did over the summer. A lot of people react with surprise when I tell that we spent a week in Kentucky. So, why did we choose this former slave state in the middle of the U. S? I mean, come on, Kentucky's not exactly famous for anything, or is it?

It all started when a good friend of my mother's visited The Creation Museum with her family a few years ago. Built by Answers in Genesis, an apologetic ministry; the Creation Museum brings the gospel to life as people walk though the Bible beginning with Genesis 1:1. Complete with a planetarium, and beautiful outdoor gardens, the Creation Museum is definitely something you want on your bucket list!!


The museum goes though the 7 C's as pictured above. I was impressed with the signage. They were both easy to read and thought provoking. Though this museum and other YouTube videos Mom and I have watched since getting back, I have come to realize it takes just as much faith to believe in Evolution as it does to believe in a 6 day Creation. For both theories humans weren't around, so how do we know for sure?  We don't - aside from the fact that we have an accurate account in the Bible, which just so happens to be the greatest History book of all time. And I saw somewhere that the word 'History' can also be looked at as 'His Story.' When I look at the Bible as history or His Story, how can I not believe it?

A blurry photo

Have you ever really looked at a blurry photo? If you're anything like me, looking at a blurry photo makes you want to quickly look away. Or better yet get rid of it!! I was going through my store of photos on my phone the other day. and came across one of my cat, similar to the one above, that was out of focus (not quite as much as the one above though!) You could tell what it was, but some of the details were missing. It all of a sudden hit me that this is how we see God. When we first accept Him, our vision of Him is blurry. We can tell Who He is, but the details are missing. We accept the truth of His existence, love, power, kindness and holiness; but we see each one of these things dimly at first. Sometimes when we're looking at God and the things He is doing we see so out of focus that we just want to give up and turn away like when we are looking at a blurry photo. As Christians, we are told to seek the Lord with all our hearts and search for Him as we wo

Good bye, my friend

Left to right: Andy, Monica, Roger Roger, I will never forget the first ski night. You and Andy were such a great team. You were the first men who shared skiing with me. Thank you, my friend for giving me the experience of freedom first.  Flying down that hill at top speed (well maybe a little slower!!) with you and Andy, it felt like I didn't have a disability. You saw me for who I was. You never focused on the negative. You were always positive. Some of my favourite memories are when the three of us were on the chair lift together and you would tease Andy and I about this or that...and yes I know we teased back! You took it so well!!! Did you ever get an air-conditioned bathing suit to go with your heated coat?!! Roger you didn't just stay a skiing friend.  You came to my show with Propeller Dance the year we were at the Shenkman Arts Center in Orleans. It meant so much to me that you thought I was worth the ticket price and the long drive to Orleans. I remember the

Why "Choreographer's Cuisine?"

Why dance?  Dance is everywhere in Scripture. In Psalms 150 it tells us to "...Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing..." For me dance has always been a very important part of life. I believe dance was engrained into my very being by my grandfather, who, I'm told danced me for hours around the living room when I was a baby trying to get me to sleep. (I'm told I was a hard baby to get to sleep!) As I have gotten older dance has inspired me and has become a way of expression when I can't find the words. I have also tried other art forms, but dance and poetry are my two favourites. As I am learning the art of choreography this year from my bosses, I am recognizing that my life has been choreographed by the Great Choreographer, Jesus Christ. Every person who has come into my life, every situation I have found myself in, even my trauma, was choreographed into my life. And He's not done choreographing yet!! I've been told  by a
