Easter

This is me just being real. No fronts.
I know Easter is an important Christian holiday. And I'm so, so, so thankful for what Christ did for me on the cross. And I know that "these present sufferings are not worthy of being compared..." (Rom 8:18). But I'm exhausted.

Bold prayer for this week - "God, give me the strength to get everything done for you this week."

Lessons Learned At Niagara Falls

Earlier this week I had the privilege of going to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It was an awesome display of raw nature and of God's unbelievable creativity. A few thoughts as I reflect back on the trip...

1. There is no end to creativity. God is infinitely creative and as we are in his image, we get to draw on his creativity.
2. Waterfall mist in March in Canada is pretty cold.
3. The viewing area to the falls is much closer to the falls themselves than the photos show. It would be easy to take a tumble over the edge. I would be nervous with my kids there.
4. The view of the falls is, indeed, better on the Canadian side.
5. It turns out that you can build a tourist area right on top of a waterfall. Here is a pic of what the area that is literally right across the street from the falls looks like:
6. There have been some bold people do some crazy things here. There are lessons to be learned from them. Check this out:

Thanks to Terry Sanderson for the experience! It was truly remarkable!
