Moon River
Moon River,
wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
You dream maker
You heartbreaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon River and me
Watched Breakfast At Tiffany's the other night with my roomie and fell in love with this song. I'm attempting to learn it on guitar but am having some difficulty with the new chords.

It's been a blustery week!
I'm SO ready!
Taking once dull puddle boots and making them exciting...
Mission accomplished!

"I love the thought of you."
These words were spoken to me by my Grandma when visiting her before leaving for BC in June. The sweetest words she has ever spoken to me. They warm my heart and bring so much hope.

Rainy Day Writings...
It's days like today where I could curl up under my fleece blanket with a mug of hot apple cider and watch a good old fashioned Winnie The Pooh movie.
I woke to the sound of pouring rain outside my forest side window, got ready for the day grabbed a slice of left over soy Hawaiian pizza and hit the road to Duncan in search of Christmas gifts for my family. I left Duncan empty handed, but did find two new thrift shops I will be saying "hello" to again in the future!
Now, in attempts to "not waste time" I started filling out some paper work I have been putting off for a while, turned on my "no flame" candle I was ever so blessed to receive on my birthday this past Saturday and have the best intentions of spending some good time in the two books I've been reading lately. Though I know this room won't be my home forever, it's beginning to feel a little homely and I need that for this time. I am so very thankful for my room here in the lodge.
I think I forgot about how cold it feels here. Since last week, most days in the office have been brightened by the roaring fire close to the desk Alicia and I work at. Sometimes a smiling face comes through the door and my heart is rejuvenated through sweet conversation with the students at meals. God is good and He is here. It's crazy to think that I am back here at camp for a full 13 months. This place of changed hearts and lives, adventures and ocean life. I look up to see the mountain top glazed with snow and can't wait till it finally makes its way to the ground my feet are standing on. Having a white November would be lovely.
It's time to get back into "not waste time" mode.
Until next time...

Food for thought...
"If it's true that the Spirit of God dwells in us and that our bodies are the Holy Spirit's temple, then shouldn't there be a huge difference between the person who has the Spirit of God living inside of him or her and the person who does not?"

"At least he was baptized first..." - J.B.
Acts 8:36-38
English Standard Version (ESV)
"36And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "See, here is water!(A) What prevents me from being baptized?"[a] 38And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him."
This past Sunday, I had the blessing of spending some sweet time with some old friends and a few new-ish ones too. We all went to church together in the morning, there Pastor John opened up the opportunity of baptism to everyone. One of our friends Kyle, asked God to give him a reason not to get baptized if it was not what He wanted for that time. Pastor John read the above verse. It was a done deal. What sweet timing it was for this small group of friends to meet up.
