I just finished 5 days teaching in Auburn, Washington and today I start 4 days here in Vancouver, BC. In my inbox this morning was this quote I thought would be perfect for all of you that worked with me last week or will be working with me this week or are working without me somewhere else.

“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.”

— William Channing, theologian

Enjoy the journey. Today I am grateful for past challenges that have created fresh ideas.
