My grandson is with me, on this last night before we fly off on KLM to Amsterdam and then to Nairobi where Cindy Klassen, Adam Beriault, John Beriault, Byron Thiessen, Leon Janzen will cycle for 6 days, with 10 cyclists from Kenya, visiting 7 to 8 different Kenyan Community Groups. The point is to connect. Ourselves with people from Kenya. People from Kenya with each other. The hope is that in any connecting, any relational interaction .... there is a pretty good chance that the people of the world learn to love each other, appreciate each other, forgive each other, commit to each other. Should be a fascinating week in Kenya, traveling 480 km ... cycling, visiting. Michael and Lisa Bade, from Cambodia, will be filming the week. Here in Calgary, we are in touch with CBC radio, and several other major media ... as this happens and after we return.
Joshua, my three-year old grandson, just told me I am his best friend. What about grandma, I asked? She is at work, he said. What about your mommy, I asked. She is at home, he said. Since I am the only other person in the house, I am his best friend. I am good with that. I miss him already.
