How can you TRUST in this world of illusory dreams, broken promises, and outright lies? Words themselves are no longer capable vehicles for sharing confidence, but have become traps/weapons to ensnare/belittle/expose/degrade others; not just their ideas/opinions, but cancel their very persons/identities? Spoken - written words –are you a man/woman of your word? …but today, even those terms are called into question! At one time, people gave their word as truth + backed it up with a handshake + an honest life + reputation. Others could trust you + what you said to be truth + then have confidence to build/grow/establish relationship. But in our present fear-gripped society, words have lost both their truth, meaning and confidence. They’ve been hammered into weapons to expose, rather than reveal + love. We have lost our ability to trust… not just officials in government, media, churches, the ‘experts’, but one another. All the more NOW, we need to return to what is trustworthy + rediscover how to trust: God: His Word + Spirit! He is faithful to do what He’s promised!

We finished off our Chilcotin adventure in BC's most northern desert: a canyon, hoodoos, who-done-its, even a sand dune... and we thought it was hot @ just 39?!

Bushwacked through the rain forest to the top of toppest falls! I got stretched... but the view was Stupendous.... that really is the name of 1 of these mountains!

Some of the Bella Coola wildlife: can you tell which ones are the REAL bears?

Chilicotin - Coast Range Mountains - Beautiful! We hiked out through a fire-ravaged burnt-out forest towards Rainbow Range; still snow so didn't get so close, but still saw the brilliant colours!

Just spent the week camping out with Larry + the mosquitoes in Beautiful Bella Coola Valley... where the mountains and the glaciers rise up right out of the ocean... + there's lots of waterfalls!

Spring-break?... more like Winter Snow-shoeing! @ beautiful Manning Park; got away for few days of fun with my upstairs family + another new friend who just materialized -must have thought he was posing for a worldwide magazine - maybe he was!?
