Hey Pastor Don, the roads here in Montreal arent much better. Roads, bridges and building are falling apart! Good thing Jesus is our Pilot!

Hi Doug,

So nice to hear from you! It has been a long time since Eastern Ontario days. I was out in Saskatchewan preaching at Living Waters Camp this summer. Wish we could have connected.

Would be happy to do the coffee thing in the new year.

Blessings to you and Polly!

Don

Hi Don! Polly and I returned to ‘The Promised Land’…Eastern Ontario in Feb. after ten years of ministry in Saskatchewan. While there, we had the awesome priviledge to minister to my nephew and his wife. He is currently based at CFB Brandon, Man. and has survived two deployments in Afghanistan, one in Bosnia and several other troubled locations throughout the world. Having both a Dad and Father-in-law (both with the Lord) serving in WW2, Polly and I are both somewhat sensitized to the need for us to continue to pray for and encourage our vets and their families! We often tend to take so much for granted, without realizing that freedom costs…such is the lesson of our Saviour! Anyhow…enjoyed your blog and only recently discovered Polly has it on ‘favourites’. Should you find yourselves anywhere near Wellington, do call! Would love to ‘do coffee’ and remember old Youth stories of Eastern Ontario and Quebec so many decades ago!!!

Hi Valerie,

So nice to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words.

I will never forget the Sunday morning I got the news of your dad’s accident. MJ was in Vermont, and I was on my way to church when the phone call came. After the call, I left immediately for church as I was preaching. My mind was so on the tragic loss of your father that I lost track of my speed and was stopped by the police. My Bible was beside me and I shared with the officer that my mind was on a phone call that I had just received. He let me off the hook with just a stern warning.

You too Valerie have such a great heritage. MJ and I last year had the privilege of spending three months with your son Jonathan in Zambia. He has grown into a fine young man and I have no doubt that he will carry on the heritage that you and Jeff have instilled in him.

Be blessed!

Don

Thank you Lillian and Peter.

It was so great to spend time with you on Sunday evening. Thank you for the delicious punch and ice cream.

I am so blessed to sit with people like yourselves and hear of God’s goodness. It gives me courage to keep pressing on.

Blessings!

We too love you very much!!!

Enjoy the sunny south. I look out my window at a blanket of white snow. Africa cannot come soon enough.

Hi Don & MJ,

I don’t go on the computer too much these days but was checking a backlog of emails on my home computer and saw your Monday Musings for today and thought I would take a look.

Today we celebrated my mother’s 73rd birthday! I did not recall that this was the anniversary of your parent’s death. I do recall hearing the of the accident however 32 years ago. I remember the shock and sadness of hearing about it and at the time did not really know you at all but more so through mutual friends. Little did I know that only a few short years later (about 3 1/2) that my own father would be killed in a tragic canoeing accident. You may not realize it but as I struggled through that time in my life, you were an inspiration as I was keenly aware of your tragic loss and I remember thinking on many an occasion…if Don can get through this with the Lord’s strength then I can too.

God has been faithful through all of these years and like yourself I am grateful for the godly Christian heritage and example of my parents. We have been truly blessed!

May God continue to strengthen both you and MJ in the ministry He has called you to and this wonderful legacy that has been passed on by your grandparents and parents continue on in the lives of Stephanie & Jonathan.

Many blessings and love to you both!…Val Young
