My family saw the new moon month last night. So it's the eighth month. In one week from this moment I'll probably be somewhere in the middle of Nebraska in a little truck, heading south. Izzy, Collie, and I will be singing loudly and eating granola in the cab, and Ben will be sequestered in the box of the truck, fasting and afflicting his soul for Yom Kippur. These two calendars make some interesting situations, even if only imaginary! But yeah, next week the plan is for us make the epic journey to Oklahoma once again. I'm spending a lot of time right now wrapping up loose ends and pre-packing for the trip to Israel in November. I'm doing the Saskatchewan Hunter's Safety course, and it's pretty fun. I got to see our friends Terry and Carmen arrive at the airport last night.

Today: pull beets from the garden
get passport photos
learn the difference between a mule deer and a white-tailed deer
lift weights


I'm scared.
I'm excited.
A new era of my life is beginning.
And in the beginning is Yeshua.
I can trust Yeshua.
