Peak?

Has Lake of the Woods reached it’s peak level yet? Perhaps. Signs are encouraging as a recent report indicates a 1/2″ drop in a week. To say the lake is a little high is an understatement. It passed the 2014 high water level by a long way and our dock is holding on by a Read More …

Dealing with the Deck

If this gets any more interesting we may be looking for higher ground. The lake level was high on the May long weekend and it’s been getting higher ever since. When we arrived at the lake last night we were greeted by some changes in our dock situation. Since May 3, 2022 the lake has Read More …

Happy ever after?

When we choose the new story, our storyline changes. It’s no longer just about who we are, and the moments that matter. It’s about seeking and finding Jesus in those moments—in the struggle–letting Him rewrite our past, present and future into a redemptive story of hope. Perhaps we are focused on the wrong parts of Read More …

High Mileage Week

Funny how we still say “mileage” when things are typically measured in kilometres. Kilometerage certainly sounds funny and I don’t think it’s even a word.
