The Minister's Cat: Tour of Downtown Vancouver

Tour of Downtown Vancouver

Today I went to church - the long way. We had over an hour tour of downtown Vancouver before we headed out to the church. We saw a community garden on Davie St. and a group of runners coming from Stanley Park. I really appreciate being able to get out. Everybody welcomed me at church. The message was God still has a purpose for your life even after you retire. Caleb was 85 when he went to Joshua and asked to conquer and take the hill country of Hebron. God still has something for me to do too!

I have no doubt that God has something for you to do. The message I had at church yesterday was the conclusion of a study of Job. I can't help but see some similarities here, except that poor Job did not have the support of a loving wife such as you have in Laverne.
We wonder why a righteous man such as you, working so hard for the Lord, would have to suffer so. It's not for us to know and it's not for us to judge God. He is God and His ways are higher than our ways. And I believe that God will bless you for turning your tragedy into an opportunity to tell of His wonderful love.

Calm in the storm - blessings and praises

1 ATV was on the trail minutes after Johns accident. He was able to get help ASAP while Laverne was able to stay and assist.

2 The cement blocks had been removed from the beginning of the logging road so that the ambulance could back in right away.

3 The nurses at the hospital were the right ones. One worked with John and one graduated with Laverne. They were Connie and Ellen.

4 Good friends Lee & Don, Bob & Pat were at the hospital quickly.

5 Laverne was able to fly with John on the Medivac helicopter as this is unusual.

6 In vancouver Beth Sykes a Cascades church friend was coming on shift on ICU after a week in Mexico.

7 Tom Freeman a friend was in town to Visit John the first day.

8 The many prayers and help. Those who have helped by taking DVBS, feeding cat, gathering belongings, (and bringing them down), and getting the bikes home.

9 Karen from 100 Huntley St called out friend Patricia and said she sensed that a close friend needed prayer.

10 Sister Eleanor was able to get a quick flight and be there before surgery.

11 John was able and ready to get a tracheotomy in good time instead of days or weeks later.
