Now this is real Star Trek: THE ORVILLE

My Little Pilgrimage

I went to Lac St Anne to attend the pilgrimage today. It was the last day of the event and most of the people and vendors were either gone or prepping to go. This was not my first time attending this event, in fact my first pilgrimage was back in 1990 with my Granny Lockhart. She had at that point been attending for several decades; her and my Grandpa used to camp there. 

But this year was a little different as the Pope came to Canada and to the pilgrimage to apologize for the church’s hand in what happened at the residential schools. 

I’m baptized Christian, but my beliefs are a mix of Christianity and Buddhism. Although my grandparents weren’t directly involved with the residential schools I had other relatives that were. So having the Pope fulfill his promise to come to Canada in the spirit of reconciliation was amazing and I for one am grateful. I really admire Pope Francis and feel he is doing good work with his position within the church. 

Being by the lake, knowing the Pope had been there three days earlier praying for my family and reconciliation made me feel happy and hopeful for the future healing of all our native people. 

This & That

The Pope is in town making good on his promise for reconciliation. I think he’s a fantastic Pope and remarkable man.

Summer Holiday Blah

First trip of the summer holidays and I get the stomach flu. First non-alcohol induced violent vomiting I’ve had in probably 14 years. Sorry for the scare Crystal and Bailey 

This & That at Fairview

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Fairview this weekend. Sadly I caught a stomach bug and have been spending most of my Saturday in the hotel room. But I think I’m on the mend.

Gotta love to see the Flames suffer in the off season! Lol
