Another one down

Well pig roast 2010 is over. By all accounts it was a successful event...sorry to little larry that you had to see the head...I tried to hid it but some one opened the lid.

Why does it seem like life just never slows down...ever? Since the end of my vacation it seems like I have been rushing from one event to another. Vacation, work trip, memorial service trip, perform a wedding trip. Back to school, life should slow down but no. I have so many thing's that I am involved with that it seems like things will never slow down again. I'm complaining but wow life is insane.

Plus side is... November is coming. I feel quite confident that by November life will be much calmer....wishful thinking I know, but yes I choose to belive that November will bring peace and rest to a weary man.

I weep for this man

Have you heard about this foolish Pastor who has threatened to burn the Koran? I weep for this man, I weep for the people he leads, but most of all I weep for the Church. All this fool has succeeded in doing is placing another stain on the Church.

It's already hard enough to try to be an example of Christ's love in a culture that is anti church, all this man has done is given people another reason to hate the church. I can't even fathom his logic in what he think's buring the Koran would acomplish. It honestly just baffles me. Beyond that I wonder how a person can go through all the education it takes to become a Pastor and still be such an ignorant fool. Read the Bible, study Jesus...is there ANYTHING in there that would suggest to you that this is the sort of thing Christ would condone? NO. Yes Jesus did on an occasion craft a whip and clear out the temple of people who were using the house of God to sell sacrifices and make money, but honestly, I think this pastor and a lot of us in the church today are the sorts of people he would have turned that whip on.

In closing, I'm disgusted that anyone who has made the study of the life of Christ his profession could still make such a horrible decision. I pray that he hasn't damaged my ability to allow God to impact people through me. Mostly I hope that this will motivate Christians to actually study Jesus's life and try to live that way. No more book burning, no more isolating ourselves, no more modern day pharasitical garbage. Just a humble life, lived for Christ, seeking to shine his ligght into the world.

Edmonton Update

Wow is it hard to find beauty in this city...sunsets are unreal, the park around the legislature is gorgeous, WEM is a good time, really would prefer to come with wifey and baby girl though. But honestly, from what I've seen Edmonton is a very run down city. Really not impressed, really can't wait to go home. The people are super friendly, I went out to Leduc when I first got here, it was a pretty little town. Edmonton proper...horrible. Maybe that's an overstatement but yes, I'm very much looking forward to boarding my flight tomorrow morning and getting back to my sleepy little City in the Country. Thank's for the mention in your blog btw :) Point some of your party people my way.

Vacation

I`ve been having a crazy and wonderful Summer, lots of changes, don`t really want to post it on here...oh what the heck, as of right now I am planning to take the prerequisite classes I need to go back and finish my BA in counseling. So as it sits now I am planning to take a Philosophy and a Psychology 100 level course this fall, and a 100 level Science this spring as well as something else maybe. That will then leave me with 1 year of full time school to finish my degree (masters by 40 seems more likely again.)

So we`re on vacation, spent our first weekend away without our dog or daughter. I missed her every time I saw a kid or kids store, but Wifey and I made a pact that this weekend was for us and that we wouldn`t buy our kiddo anything this was our excuse to be selfish...as I blog this my crazy sleep talking wife is going off about how I need to get out of bed and go turn off the taps...anyways. We caved and in the end we did get our kiddo an adorable little summer dress that is super cute.

I wont bore you with details becauase if you care you`re probable a reader I talk to in RL and we can share vacation stories next time we get together :) Also I got 2 amazing shirts I can`t wait to show off.

been too busy

To blog, but here I go, thing's are great, weddings, bla bla bla, sick kid, bla bla bla, gym, bla bla bla. Life is great, just crazy right now. Vacation starts in a week.

Photo Shoot

Did a quick point and click shoot of my GTI with my little Sony Cybershot (I lack the talent to use Wifey's SLR) just wanted to post the results.
