Promise Kept
There were about 400 men at Promise Keepers, a lot less than the thousands that gathered at the Coliseum a few years ago. (In fact one time I took Brent and Jon and met Ron here in Grande Prairie for a PK gathering of 600.)
But the weekend was great and we had some notable speakers.
I related more with Ron Estay, pictured here. He was a lineman for the Edmonton Eskimos in the 1970's when they won 5 Grey Cups in a row. He still holds the league record for Quarterback sacks. His messages focused on being champions in Christ. We also learned that most football players only play 9 minutes per game. To us the challenge is to be trained and ready for those moments of witness or discipleship that can come at any (unexpected) moment.
Then I had another promise to keep. So after the weekend we headed off to Camrose to see the Dumont family, and to pick up Colleen. 
Roger is growing and doing well. He loved it when Grandpa held him. Our time with him and the other grand-kids was all too short.
In the car between Camrose and Edmonton, David and I had a good time or sharing man to man. (So this is my 9 minutes!) Keep praying for him. He has had a rather colorful life so far.
