Leadership Race

Conference, Premiere

Last Saturday, a few of us went to the Sask Party Leadership Convention in Saskatoon. There were five contenders for the position to replace Brad Wall, who announced his decision to step down last fall. The race was close, but it ended up being our MLA, Scott Moe, who won.

Here we are with our former Premiere Brad Wall. He was the 14th Premiere of our province, and won 3 consecutive majority terms as Premiere.

We appreciated Brad Wall’s openness about his faith, and his many good decisions for Saskatchewan.

“Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,” Titus 3: 1

New Years Activities

Family, Friends

Here are some pictures of activities that we have done this season. We have been kept busy having an extended family gathering at our house, doing a bunch of outside activities and hosting a New years gathering with our friends from church.

 

Cross country skiing with some relatives.

 

The crokinole championship trophy!

For those of us that have never won:

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrew 13:5 

 

Merry Christmas

Family, Music

Our family did a number of concerts over Christmas but had not gotten around to taking a family picture. We noticed this nice sign at one of the churches so we quickly took a picture after a concert.

 

Isaiah 9:6-7

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

New Shed

Family, Farm, Work

This fall we decided to take down our old cover-all and build a replacement shed. We are making the replacement a bit larger so that we can fit a few more things!

The cover-all.

 

Taking down the cover-all. Some people don’t seem to like being in pictures.

 

 

The new base. We decided to put it on skids.

 

 

Some of the walls up.

 

The final wall and the rafters up.

 

Some sheeting.

 

Shingling.

 

Windows.

 

Garage door, siding and soffit and fascia.

 

And the final product! Praise the Lord!
