My Hiking buddies

Ed, Jocelyn, Anne, Daniel and Ulrich.
Good times. The boat ride was very cold, but the day warmed up really quickly. We were warned that bears are frequently spotted in this area, and to stay in groups for safety. None of us saw any bears, although Daniel and Ulrich did the next morning when they energetically got up for a jog. it was the best hike and thanks to my best friend Jocelyn who organised everything.

Waterton, Alberta.

Hiking in Waterton, Alberta. it was a 6 hour hike, 3 hours up to Crypt Lake and then 3 hours down. It is amazing that way up high in the mountains a gorgeous lake like that would be found. This picture is not Crypt Lake, this is the Waterton Lake that we had to cross by boat to get to the starting point of our hike. Canada is such a beautiful country.

Natalie's wedding

In two day's I will be on my way to Australia to stand as Natalie's Maid of Honour on July 23rd. This is Natalie and her fiance Stewart.

Anandan's wedding

This is Anandan and his Bride. Anandan is my Dad's secretary, he is pukka (100%) Hindu and so this is a typical tamilian Hindu wedding. The jasmine garlands are wet, heavy and cooling in the hot June day, and the basket is full of uncooked rice which symbolises blessing.

My 30 little brothers

Here are some of my 30 little brothers. Mum was the oldest of 5 boys, and her passion has always been for taking care of boys, and so she started up a boys' home over 10 years ago in our home, helping them study, play, eat well, and learn about Jesus. My sister Sharon has been the dorm 'Akka' (big Sister) for these guys. She tells us some hilarious stories of the kinds of things the guys get up too. They are the most amazing people in the world, and if you should visit my parents in Sathyamangalm one day, you will fall desparately in love with these guys too. They play hard, eat monstrous portions, laugh loud, study really well and love action songs.

Sharon my youngest sister

Sharon has just graduated from University with a Bachelor's in Computer Graphics and Design. My little sister is growing up really fast and i'm so proud of her. She helps Mum and Dad in Sathyamangalam, with administration and as a Dorm Akka (big sister) at the boy's home.

My wonderful Mum and Dad. I thank God for His hand of mercy on our family for continued restored health and life. If you're sceptical about miracles, you need to hear my Mum's story. No one has loved our family and cared for us in detail as much as Jesus Christ has. I am 'Living an Adventure' and i do dare to dream massive dreams because i believe that His Destiny for us is more empowering and fulfilling than my meagre possibilities. Is your life fulfilling and empowering? I have prayed for you that it will be. Please know that i love you and i pray for you by name, often :-) The Lord Bless you and Keep you abundantly just as He has done my family and i.

4 of my closest friends, starting from the bottom left clockwise is Jocelyn Schaufele, Theresa Wikkerink, Sara-Lyn Quist and my dearest sister Shirley. We just had a dinner party at a resturant called The Nilgris Tea House. The owners (one of the Ironside girls) was a student at Hebron School.

31 Mobile Dr, Three Hills

This is Mum, Dad, Sharon, Shirley's and my humble home. Today I got a call from a friend and she and her hubby are very interested in buying our home, it is for sale... we'll see. i feel nostalgic, because this has been the first place i felt like home away from my Sathy home. Mum and Dad have stayed with us here in the winter of 2003. i've spent many minutes hacky those bushes into shape and burning 3 electric mowers on our gorgeous green lawn!!:-)
