We gathered on the final Sunday morning of the summer to share what God had revealed or taught each of us this summer. That list is below. We followed this by praying for each other. My faith will grow as I draw near to God Keep God the focus of relationships with staff & campersContinue reading “Summer Staff Reflections”

What if You Really Believed What You Say You Believe?
What if you really believed that God saw our private moments, heard our prayers, saw our generosity and rewarded us for it? What difference would it make in your life? How would other people see you? Could you keep doing the same things? Keep buying what you usually buy? Would you pray more? For whom?Continue reading “What if You Really Believed What You Say You Believe?”
Be a Caleb
Be A Caleb! This was said to me by a mentor many years ago. Why Caleb and not Joshua? I think it was because Caleb quietly did what was right and didn’t seek any fanfare. Not much is written about Caleb. We know he went in to the promised land to spy it out withContinue reading “Be a Caleb”
Regret or Repent
“Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight…” (Psalm 51:4). We are not called to regret our sins. Rather we are called to repent from our sins, to have true sorrow before God. Regret is a human emotion usually based on getting caught doing something wrong. Guilt also playsContinue reading “Regret or Repent”
A Little Push Before Fresh Air Week
Hey Moose! Your summer looks amazing from the outside looking in, I miss it way more than you’ll ever know! Fresh air week always comes with a bit of automatic exhaustion and worry even before it begins, but I have a little something special I heard today. I was working at an African American celebration earlyContinue reading “A Little Push Before Fresh Air Week”

The Rest of the Story
On Sunday I received a donation cheque for Camp Widjiitiwin. That’s not very out of the ordinary. The cheque was for $150. That’s not too out of the ordinary. It was to help sponsor kids come to Widji. That’s normal too. What you need to hear is the rest of the story… A few years aContinue reading “The Rest of the Story”
40 Years with Jesus
My truck went over 240,000 kms this week. That seemed like a milestone as all the 9’s became 0’s. The sensation didn’t last very long as the next “1” quickly showed up and the moment was lost. I don’t want to lose the next moment. This summer marks 40 years as a Christian for me. Continue reading “40 Years with Jesus”
Shag came to pray for Widji
Sometimes you learn things that are very cool. I always like it when someone comes up and says they have been praying for me. This story is like that. Shag (his camp name) has come every spring since he worked at Widji to pray for Camp Widjiitiwin. Usually he sneaks into camp and goes up toContinue reading “Shag came to pray for Widji”
Happy Father’s Day!!
This Sunday is Father’s Day here in Canada. Its a day we set aside to honour our dads by sending a card, making a call and reminding them that we do love them. Sometimes we even take them out for lunch and even pay. My dad is my example. He is patient and kind always thinking theContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day!!”
