Pipe Dreams, hmmm;
- Google's definition of these two words together mean an unattainable or fanciful hope or scheme.
Synonyms for these two words are;
- Vision and Dream
I find that far to many of us believe that most of our hopes and dreams are unattainable, when in reality with a bit of coaxing and the right encouragement, dream attempts accelerate at an incredible rate.
When people in general are encouraged rather than used, built up rather than criticized, the culture that is created is a culture of life and hope prosperity, communities built on this culture are rare and fortunatley we here in Lloydminster are heading in that direction.
Here in Lloydminster we know pipes and this may be
seen as a pipe dream but just wait and see.
Pipes can get plugged, damaged or wore out, but dream can only be given up on.
There's a lot of truth to the words of wisdom that feed a man and he is full for a day, but teach him to fish and he will eat for a life time. I believe that's how it goes.
If we don't get to wrapped up in our own agenda, the needs of others will always be a priority. And when we live a life of passing on what we have learned and what we earned our lives will be full of all we ever hoped for.
A kid who a year ago was giving up till someone seen the potential in him. Now one of the hardest working young men in our community, not only at his job but also at making a differance in others lives. PASS IT ON
Pipe dreams may mean one thing to the world around us but here in Lloydminster it is an exciting statement of truth and potential. A friend this evening said that this community is a what a pipe dream is when people pray, believe and work hard.
What a way of life when you enjoy what you do for 8-10 hours a day. HOW CAN THAT BE.
To be there for others is the only way to build a culture of hope. Lloydminster, Saskatchewan - Alberta is building a community with a culture of hope. To survive life the main ingredient has to be hope. Pipe dreams, you bet, we know pipe dreams, we are built on big dreams, by men and women that know how to work hard, play hard, pray hard, continuing to survive and thrive, and when the rest of the world seeks it, we build and share, bless and pass on to the world with what we are so blessed with, and with what others need to move on.

Ive just started a new stage of my life, and it all begins with these two beautiful people, Patti and Jeff Becker. They took me in off the street and gave me a home, a hope for a future, and a family. They're probably the most loving people I've ever met and I'd like to say Thank You so much for EVERYTHING!!!! I LoveYou guys and I miss you so much! Now back to my amazing experience, I came from being off the street and working in a bottle depot in Abbotsford B.C. Patti and Jeff then found out about the Battle River Ranch Program through the Cyrus Center in Abbotsford, and looked into it. They asked me, "would you like an opportunity to change EVERYTHING, in a Faith based Trades based Program?" I said, "yes I would," so off I flew to Lloydminster Alberta.
That's where I met the Stephan's, Harold and Diane. they took me in as though I was one of their own, and right away got me working, driving machinery, roofing, drywalling, siding, welding, and a little electrical and plumbing. About a month or so into my Ranch experience, "Hope For More," happened and I got into doing a lot of work setting up and preparing for that to take place at the Ranch. Work like driving the suburban around hauling wood, driving quads, just really hard stuff : lol what I'm trying to say is my Ranch experience was not only life building, working building, family building, and making friends, it was FUN, I met a lot of great people and all in all I had a heck of time doing it, I want to thank Diane Stephan for EVERYTHING she does, and she does a lot :) love you, and Harold for being a role model I can look up to and for always being there for me. THANK YOU HAROLD AND DIANE FOR A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!!
I met running friends, and people who were or have gone through things like I have been through in my life.
