One night a mother was in the labor ward. But in spite of all we could do she died, leaving us with a premature baby and a two-year-old daughter. 

At the center of the earthquake in Nepal, in 2015, the residents lost everything. They were as poor as could be. Yet when the believers worshipped, they sang and danced as though they were the richest in the world. In the midst of great loss, they were content. Choosing to live thankful and satisfied lives takes time and work.

It is said that you can’t be in two places at one time. I once tried to prove the adage wrong. While my wife, dog and home was in White Rock, I pastored a church in Regina for a year. I commuted between my two worlds and Westjet stocks soared.

My wife and I have become trailer travellers. The statement suggests more proficiency than is appropriate. “We are learning to be trailer travellers” is more accurate.
