What a Small World
Last night I enjoyed a concert with several artists. Avalon was the main attraction. It has been years since I heard them and they put on an awesome concert. There was another group "Carried Away" made up of 3 girls from Brampton, Ontario who were VERY good. They are pop-rock. Their blend and harmonies were great. There was also another group of guys from Ontario who did worship music who were inspiring. They were featuring World Vision and Avalon shared some first hand stories from the mission field having visited Africa. I just wish I could remember all the different groups names. I was blessed. Our staff from Inspirations went together. It was fun.
My day started when my husband left at 5 AM on a Missions trip to Fort Resolution. At 4 AM we had been wakened to a tremendous thunder storm, strong winds that were blowing sheets of rain down the street. I just hoped none of our trees would topple over in the winds. We have two 50 foot trees in our front yard. Last year our neighbor's snapped in a wind/rain storm and crashed across the street. It blocked the road for a day while they sawed it up.
Anyway these have been some random thoughts but needless to say I had an inspirational day and felt like I'd been around the world in a few short hours.
Needless to say I am still wiped ... just not enough rest for this old bod'.
Yesterday I was going through some different people's blogs and I can't believe the number of people that I see some of you mention that I know ... like Ron Kadyschuk, Ruth & John Kerr, Nancy Emde, Gerald Cressman, Joe Kendrick, Pastor Kevin from my parents church in Carman and many more! It is totally amazing how small the world all of sudden becomes!

My husband, Al Downey and I went to Bible College with Gerald. Ron & Barb are good friends of ours. I've worked with Ron at Elim and then at Northwest Bible College. You are right...It's a small world after all...tee hee.
I've met Kevin but he may not know me. He knows my neice, Sonia really well and my son, Jeff. Jeff & Joe Kendrick are good friends. Kevin's family attends the same church as my parents, and my sister's family. That is what has been facinating for me as I'm reading all these blogs and seeing the godly heritage passed along to the younger generation and I get so excited. You have blessed my socks off. There are some young gals here that bless me beyond anything they know.
