Terribly Poetic

I am sorry that I haven’t been able to write a good update and I seem to have disappeared. Well this past weekend I got sick. This is something that happens on a very rare occasion. I could count on one hand the times I’ve been sick in the past 5 years. This time is different. By Monday I felt good and went to work thinking the sickness had past. Then I did something stupid, I played street hockey for 2 hours. I know, I know, not the smartest thing I could have done. Well, its Thursday and I am still paying for it. The rest of this week I have felt exhausted, and still fighting some the the symptoms from the weekend. What makes it difficult to recover is that I am constantly active with youth. Playing more floor hockey, soccer, and the list goes on. Well, today is the last day for these types of activities for the week and then I will retreat to rest. Please pray that God would heal my body so I am recovered by next week. I thought the picture (gotta see the picture at my new blog) was fitting as at one point this week I was actually laying down on the ground much like Libby. To funny. Maybe its just that I am getting old as Ben pointed out over at his blog.

We had a busy weekend, with a house full. Our friend Kailey came to visit for the weekend from Hay River, NT and my in-laws come from Barrhead, AB. We have had a great thanksgiving with family. While my mom is in BC visiting my sisters and more importantly our neice, Taylor, my dad was able to take time off from harvesting and come enjoy a great thanksgiving meal.. (thanks honey) Libby has recently decided that she wants to help mommy in the kitchen. She loves to climb up onto a chair and “help” mom. She got her first taste of a turkey dinner, and I wish I could report that she loved it, but alas, my daughter isn’t into that type of food yet. Someday soon she will be loving mash potatoes and gravy just like her father. After all, she is mennonite!

On another note...please continue to pray for our Dimension Four, we started this week with only two volunteers, however, more notably we had zero kids show up. The start of D4 this year has been very frustrating and stressful on myself. Please pray for God’s wisdom as I lead this group.

Click here to visit my new blog over at my .Mac Account. I am slowly building a blog over there as I have recently acquired a dot mac account. I hope to build on this page. You will notice a few other links at the top, these where my first pages I created a year ago as a sample Portfolio when I had a trial mac account. For now I will post on both blogs, but hope to make more use of the dot mac over time. Especially the web galleries features... let me know what you think.
