I made a decision...

To pay some money and have a real website. I'm thinking that with Angie gone to her grandma's funeral this weekend that I'll have the time to convert the old site's addresses and other neccessary links so I'll let you know when it's up. Pastor Bryan, our administrator, at our church is pretty stoked about it and wants the address as soon as it is up. Talk about the boost I needed. That combined with the encouragement from craig123 on the CPA website forums has given me a renewed fire for this ministry of mine.

Construction season is all year around on this site unlike Saskatchewan. :P I'll let you know when it's ready to be viewed AND CONTRIBUTED TO by everyone. ;)

A Tribute to a Wonderful Friend

Two years ago today a very close friend had to leave. She was in pain and needed to go, but I still miss her. She was a very great blessing in my life during difficult times. She pulled me through many tough times of adolescence and made the need to get home from the hospital after my broken neck that much more urgent so she could be looked after properly by me again from walks to brushings. To you Muffin whose little affectionate actions could do more than anyone I knew at the time.

And so begins the worst week of my year but these pictures have made me smile. How I miss her.

Great White Hunter

So we''ve had a fly in here annoying us for days... since I think last Wednesday. We do not have a fly swatter & a dish towel was not working. It was elusive. But today, besides that I was wanting one, I bought a suction cup dart gun with the hopes of getting the fly. Well, I just killed it with my new rifle. What a shot! Yup, won't forget that one soon. I'm always amazed at how my greatest kills are stuck in my mind like a little video clip. Gophers, birds one stray dog I hit (not killed) with my .357 & now a fly. Yeah, it's not the weapon, it's the hunter.

This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun! :D

Quick Update

I don’t feel much like typing so here’s a quick rundown.

I got FrontPage 2003 so I will be adding to the site soon. Useful information also, not just pictures.

New computer is working great. Old one is for sale. If anyone is interested here is the link:

One quick public service announcement: As much as I would not stick a bumper sticker on my vehicle under almost any circumstance, after yesterday, if someone presented me with one reading the following I may consider it:

C’Mon Drive Hard! Whateryou, a wimp? Faster, harder! It is imperative that you beat me to the red light three intersections in a row. And don’t you dare signal, people will think you’re queer! The light ahead is red, ride my rear bumper, please, I like it!

My tip of the day is this: Gas is going up, brakes are not cheap, life is even more valuable. Calm down. Slow down and when you pull up behind someone at a red light, you should be able to see the road under their rear tires. If you cannot, try leaving more space next time. I know most who read this need not hear what I just said, but I have not experienced the anger I did yesterday in a long time and I did not enjoy it. Not the man I want to be.
Had I been able bodied and done something like getting out to politely inform the tailgater that I would prefer that he/she not ride so close, I probably would have caused a greater nasty response instead of influencing one person to drive safer. I’ve often wondered what would Jesus do in a case like that. I can only think of the adulterous woman in John 8:1 – 11. She was forgiven but told to not do it again. So I’ll gladly forgive an offensive driver because I’ve made my share of mistakes while driving, but I never try to drive stupidly. So after letting it go, how does a person get the message politely to the other person to please not endanger our lives in that way? Yeah, one of my unresolved thoughts. Any input other than getting out in traffic or following the person to their destination to discuss it? Webpage updates soon.
