One of my new joys is riding my 2005 Honda Shadow. I named her "Therapy for 2" because in a real way when I am riding I feel so at peace and it relaxes me so much. It's "Therapy for 2" because I enjoy riding with Bonnie and she enjoys riding with me, even though it's not the most comfortable seat for a passanger.
As I was riding back in the early spring of 2009 I came across a city I didn't know existed. I was at that time contemplating church planting but wasn't sure where. As I rode by the city of Thorold, I felt very compelled to go in and check out this place I didn't know existed. When I did I was very surprised to see what I saw. Here on the fringe of St Catharines was this little nugget filled with a growing community, and a little city by the canal filled with a rich history. This began a journey of more rides into this place and much investigation. I am still finding out more about this city and the Niagara region. I am beginning to feel like this is now home . . . a couple of days ago I had a meeting with the Mayor of Thorold. It was a good meeting and he now knows of my intentions for his city.
Cool! We have family in Niagara Falls, Welland and Dunnville area and we sometimes go there just to get away for a night or 2. I want to visit your new church when it gets going. This sounds so exciting to start a new church. I'm happy that you have this opportunity.Obviously God was preparing you a while ago for this venture. It will be neat to see what he does.
