Love the Banff

Last week we spent 3 nights in Banff with my family (my parents and my brother's family). Although a few of us suffered some illness, we had a great time! There was a lot of relaxing and some site seeing. I went up the Gondola for the first time. I am not scared of heights, but I must admit I was nervous that the wire that was sustaining my life several hundred feet above the face of the rocky mountain below me was going to snap. I didn't urinate in my pants though, which was nice.

Above is a picture of my nephew and niece enjoying God's creation.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

I will begin by saying that by creating my own blog I am in no way suggesting that I have a super interesting life that should be posted on the web for all to view. Rather, I thought it would be cool to create a record of my experiences that I can later reflect on, and provide a forum for keeping in touch with friends and family.

Here is a quick synopsis of what I have been up to and what I will be doing in the near future.

I just completed my second year of a Master of Divinty degree at Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton, Alberta. This upcoming year I will be doing a vicarage (as a vicar I will essentially be an apprentice pastor) at First Lutheran Church in Windsor, Ontario. I do not start my vicarage in Windsor until mid-August, so I have a lot of time to do many crazy things, which I will later document on this blog (for example, today I am going to go out to my backyard and lay on my hammock and read, and perhaps even have a nap).

The fun has begun! Stay tuned!
