Thundering Bass
July 31, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
So… it’s almost time to go. Today I am doing laundy, packing most of my stuff and (hopefully) clean my room. Don’t know if I’ll get to everything, but I’ll certainly try, in between the regular daily prayers, a funeral at noon and the BBQ with the Duck Bay prayer group. Speaking of them, the
Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits
July 29, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
This post is a review of the book Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits by Bishop T.D. Jakes. Let me say this much about Bishop T.D. Jakes: he’s an extraordinary fellow. This man has seen the depths and heights that life has to offer. In his book Reposition Yourself the bishop writes about times where
Last week in Camperville :-/
July 28, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
It’s time for me to already look forward to my next destination: Winnipeg. This Friday the Missionaries of Charity will take me back with them to the capital of Manitoba, a six hour drive from here. That means that I have to say goodbye to the people I have met here over the past few
Swan River Centennial and Rodeo
July 26, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
So Friday was my day off and while this would normally mean I could kick back with a good book at home, I now had the opportunity to go out to Swan River with two wonderful parishioners, Joe and Rose. Now, Swan River is the closest thing to a small city that we have around
Last update + Photo Gallery!
July 25, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
Finally, I managed to start a photo gallery on my site! You can now use the link in the menu “Photo Gallery” to get there. Problem is, I already used up the 100 MB that Flickr is giving me this month. Bummer. Unless someone wants to donate money for an upgraded Flickr account, that means
Back from trip (2)

Hey everyone, between activities here I have found some time to work on the website, but all my efforts seem to be useless. I am trying to install a good photo album on my site, but after three seperate attempts, I still have no success. Therefore, in order to give you some of the pics
Back from trip (1)
July 22, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
Hello friends! Yes, I have survived our 2-day trip across Manitoba. For my Dutch readers, picturing going to Paris and then coming back home via a longer way. It’s been quite a few hours in the car! I’m dead tired and there’s a program waiting for me tomorrow. I’m expected to give two catechesis classes
Another Marriage!
July 20, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
We are very fortunate over here. While the average pastor in Holland will bless himself if he has 2 weddings a year, we just had the second wedding since my arrival here July 3rd. Another wedding is coming up for coming Saturday, and then another one in early August (although by that time, I’ll probably
Tour de Camperville
July 19, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
Friday was such a nice day! No rain and no morning activities for once. That’s to say, for me. A friend from the council office, Ernie, came to pick me up at noon. We went over to his place where we had lunch with him and his wife, both active in parish life here. It turned
Squirrels and Kids
July 18, 2008 by Sebastiaan Benders
So… has anyone of you guys woken up with a squirrel sitting out on your porch? Didn’t think so. Today it happened to me, though… it made me think back about what someone asked me the other day “So, what wild life do you have in Holland?” Out here, animals are just a part of
