The Ultimate Canuck

I just wanted to post that Alex is on the Canucks website. The picture from my last post is on the site link "The Ultimate Canucks" where fans can send their pictures of them showing off their Canuck stuff. I was pretty stoked because I think it is a cool picture, also because the Canucks are in first place. I never would have thought that they would be there at this point in the season, but hey I will take it. It's Roberto Luongo. He gives the Canucks a chance to win every night. He may already be my favorite Canuck of all time, and that is saying a lot. I've said it all along that what Vancouver needed was a top five goalie, well now they have him. Anyway if you want to check the Canucks website it is www.canucks.com will be under Ultimate Canucks/Photos. Go Canucks Go

1st Team All-Star

Move over Roberto Luongo. Seriously, I hope my kid plays forward if he does decide to play hockey. I can only imagine the cost of goal equipment these days. Barb got that mask for me. I really enjoy playing goal. She bought me the mask because I keep getting hit in the nose, which makes me want to smash things when I get hit there. I have had my nose broken four times, so you can imagine my mood when I get hit in the old beak. Anyway, all seems to be well with our camp here. Baby will be here in a few months, Lord willing. Peace out homies!

Bush Out!

I wanted to talk about this in my last post about the Bears/Saints game but I forgot. Anyway I was very happy to see the Bears win because of Saints running back Reggie Bush, who is a great talent, but has something to learn about respect. As he scored his touchdown he was taunting Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, who may be the best defensive player in the league. You just don't do that. Reggie is a great back don't get me wrong, but again you don't do that. One Fox Sports analyst said "You don't taunt the money". I couldn't agree more. Reggie I hope you have a great off season dreaming about what could have been!

Bears Win!

A very good day for me today. My Bears are in the Super Bowl for the first time in 21 years. I was a little concerned about the Saints who boast a deadly offence. But hats off to the Bears defense who were fantastic today. They looked like they did early in the season, which is good news heading to the big game against the Colts, who also have a good offensive game. I am very excited by the win today, it really made my day. Rex Grossman who was not great again today was good when he needed to be. Thomas Jones again had a big game running for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns. Final score Bears 39 - Saints 14. Go Bears Go!

The People have spoken!

Just so you all know, Roberto Luongo has been voted the starter in the All-Star game, ahead of, you guessed it, Miikka Kiprusoft. Luongo has really hit his stride in Vancouver, which is great. I've said it for years that what the Canucks need is a superstar goaltender. They certainly have that now with Bobby Lou.

Milllion Dollar Baby!

I love this picture. This is Alex wearing my old school helmet that I got from MCC for a buck. I love my kid, he is so funny. He always says "Hockey, Hockey". Anyway I just wanted to show this picture of my kid wearing the helmet and the Canucks jersey. Canucks by the way are the NHL' best team right now, 7 straight wins. Go Bears Go. Big game against Seattle on the weekend. Peace out.

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!
