Danny & I have really enjoyed reading these 2 books together this last month.
“Dangerous Jounery” is a child’s version of Pilgrims Progress. Here’s a review by Terry Delaney, who also read it to his 4 yr old son. It’s recommended for 8 yrs old on up but Danny really enjoyed it and it prompted hours of discussion & questions.
“Hunkin did a masterful job of choosing the pertinent sections from the original Pilgrim’s Progress and placing them alongside the masterful artistic renditions of each scene. The artwork in and of itself is worthy of the price of the book and might even be able to tell the story just by looking at the pictures.”
“Squire and the Scroll” is a beautiful allegory, again with gorgeous illustrations. The author has a whole website with instructions on how to use this book along with squire ceremonies, knights codes etc.

Me: Goodnight Carly
Carly: Goodnight Mommy. Mom, what are you planning on doing now?
Me: I’m going to paint my nails and get to some email.
Carly: Oh good, those are the 2 things I need to do too.
Activated Ministries 10 year celebration - Baja, July 09
Categories: Life is Good! | August 5th, 2009 | by admin | no comments
We had a magical evening on the waterfront celebrating all that the Lord has done over the past 10 years. It was wonderful to be able to have so many loved ones and co-workers make it. And it made us miss many of you who we’ve been blessed to live and work with who have moved on to new mission fields; Nic & Sherry, Paula & Phil, John & Abi, Justin & Linda, and Jason & Clara. You’re in our hearts and prayers!
Highlights from the last 10 years
Carly and Violet - Forever

We finally made it to Dino Mountain today, the latest Summer addition to the Wild Animal Park. It’s very well done, the kids loved the over 2 dozen mechanical dinosaurs. complete with sound effects, baby dinos hatching from eggs etc. They were pretty real to life, Carly kept asking Danny which ones were meat eaters and then she walk clear around those.
Here’s Carly operating the do-it-urself Stegosaurus.
