Coffee talk


It was nice to see the Canucks beat the Flames two nights in a row. I got to watch the first game in the presence of many Flames fans, that was cool. Christmas has been good. We 've had the chance to spend a lot of time with family which has been good, but more importantly it has been good to connect with the Lord a little more. For instance today we were at Barb's parents farm. We took Alex out for a tractor ride which was cool, but it was so awesome outside that I immediately thought of the Lord and how blessed I am. I have my family and I was able to connect with the Creator of the universe. It doesn't get much better than that. I have had two weeks off from YFC and I can not believe how fast the time has gone by. I remember in October wanting to get to Christmas so I could take my holidays because we were working a lot on the building and I was tired. Now that it is here and almost gone I'm a little sad because I won't get the time with my family, but I am also looking forward to getting back to YFC and the ministry. I like the kids I work with, they may be rough around the edges but their never really seems to be a dull moment. I'm going to bed now. Go Bears and Go Canucks!

Together Again!


As many of you may or may not know my favorite music group is P.O.D. A few years ago they had an ugly split with guitarist Marcos Curiel. He was replaced by ex-Living Sacrifice guitar player Jason Truby, who is very good, and brought a very broad range of styles to P.O.D. Well it appears that P.O.D. have reconciled with Marcos, which is great even if he is not in the group. As far as Truby goes it looks like he has left the group and Marcos is back in. It sounds like the Truby/P.O.D. split was amicable, which is good, but too bad as well. Back in the day when P.O.D. was independent they talked about adding Jason Truby as the fifth member. I would be stoked if that would be the case, but I don't think it will be. So I am excited, yet sad to see Truby go, even though this has not been made official. It will be interesting, OG P.O.D., new record deal. Time will tell how this will play out. Go Canucks and Go Bears!
