Part IV in my three part series on Faith.<br><br>A week ago I wrote my entry on "Helping a friend in need". Monique made a comment and wrote her own blog entry about faith. That entry provided the fodder I required to summarize my thoughts and experiences on faith. <br><br>I've been reading &#8220;The Marriage of Sense and Soul&#8221; by Ken Wilber since I borrowed it from Professor S in Newfoundland. It&#8217;s been a slow read as I&#8217;ve also been reading Raoul ...

... really nice campsite just outside the city that Amanda's parents recommended.<br>This morning we are heading to the Canadian Mint to see where our money is made and then to a shopping area in Winnipeg called the Forks where the Red River and Assiniboine Rivers meet. Its supposed to be the thing to see in Winnipeg.<br>We are then heading off to Thunder Bay.

... government was going to sit.  As cold as they are in Ottawa, federal politicians are probably quite happy to be east of Winnipeg considering this current weather.  The most remarkable part of the outside of the buildings was the golden boy which sits at the top.  It was built in Nova Scotia and then shipped to Winnipeg.  It is supposed to symbolize Eternal Youth.  It is the God, Mercury and was reinstalled by the Queen herself for her Golden Jubilee.  Then I had to take ...

... and the guy on the phone was completely clueless. He said to talk to a local broker. I went to a local broker down the street and my "problem" was a new one to them. In the end they couldn't do anything. They recommended I report the loss to the police. We drove to the district office. The officer was very sympathetic, took the report and gave a report reference number in case we were ever stopped. Katrine and I had met my parents and my brother for lunch. We discussed my ...

... flight from Germany to Ireland. Whatever don't ask! It's all good now... Hopefully? SO it is now wed of the next week and they should have sent all my stuff on monday and there were much more tials and tribulations of this ridiculousness to apply for a working visa but I am so done with telling everyone and anyone who will listen to me that I don't even feel like writing about it!! SO I am giving my official notice on monday and I am nervous/excited ...

... may be a comedy show on that evening. The poster was out of date, but Thane was in the pub with his work-mates, so we sat with them and had some drinks and chats. We left last and took the bus back to Thane's, to discover him already in bed, so we spent a strangely quiet evening having some food and sorting out our things ready to leave the following day. Just as we were heading to bed ourselves, Thane got up - he had just been having a nap but had overslept. We chatted ...

... Since they were Mennonite and from Winnipeg, we played the "Menno Connection" game...(For those of you who aren't Mennonite, this is a normal conversation that Mennonites will have when they meet or get together and it is basically to see who you know in common. It can be particularly fun if you figure out you have relatives in common.) The results?  As it turns out they are pastors of the church in Springstein where ...

... heat, we still have not managed - except for a few days - to emerge from the cool temperatures and rainy skies that have enveloped us since our re-entry into North America two months ago. Might Canada be telling us something, and should we fast-forward the plans for our next diversion to far-away, exotic places?<br><br>The sun accompanying our departure from Lacombe was a good sign, but unfortunately was short lived as we were again immersed in a low ...
