Time for an update on the Selkes...
Caylea got back home from her adventure in Costa Rica!  She's been planning to visit a fellow MK, her childhood friend, Emily, who married a Costa Rican and serves in missions there.  So when a very good price for flights came up, Caylea booked her tickets and flew off to San Jose!  She came back tanned, rested and loaded with picture and stories!
Walter got a call for a specialist appointment - March 17!  He will have another round of bloodwork and then see the internal medicine specialist.  We pray for some clues to what's happening in his system and some course of action.
The boys made plans to enter a Men's Bonspiel in Gladstone, MB and asked Dad to curl with them, as well!  So the weekend of March 13 & 14, we will be spending some special time with Mark and Amy, crashing their home and enjoying family time at the rink.
Daniel is finished his curling season for now but busy at Curl Sask at his day job.  He's also hoping to get some side work under the name "Dan's Ductwork", keeping up his skills as a journeyman in sheet metal.  Apparently, he went rock wall climbing with a men's night at his church (Compass Church).  Knowing how he doesn't love heights, I can't wait to hear how that evening went!
Today, I plan to type up the minutes from our NCEM Executive meeting last Thursday.  And at 5 pm, we have a funeral service for a dear saint, Rose Lagimodiere, who battled three different times with breast cancer.  The Lord took her home last Thursday morning. This is the first funeral of a Healing Hearts church member being held in our building in Regina.  The wake last night was sad, but one filled with hope as several pastors and friends shared the Gospel message and Rose's love for her family.  Her heart's desire was for her family to know and love Jesus, to straighten out their lives and go to church!  The family asked if I would sing a couple Gospel songs at today's service.  It is an honour.
Caylea developed a special relationship with Rose, having their cancer journeys in common.  When Rose was going through chemo, she was having trouble eating and keeping it down. So Caylea baked some oven bannock and took it to her. ( Hamburger soup and bannock was the comfort food of choice.)
Have a good day, family and friends.  The Lord bless you all.
