Hockey Madness

Get ready for some serious hockey this season! Hope no one was caught with their pants down. We had our first practice yesterday. Looked like a team to me. I was a bit over ambitious with the Game announcement that Mr. President shot down with good reason.



Have a good one

alternative available

It appears that there is a alternative to Tim Hortans when it comes to coffee. I ended up going to Niverville today for some barn parts. Lines of cars and people waiting for their precious cup of coffee. Why do we humans mass together in such large numbers? I decided I could wait as time was a bit on the short side. As I got to the end of the French street heading out to #59 hwy(Lashamodeer) or whatever, I spotted the alternative. Why do we feel the urge to do what every body else is doing? The right way is not the most popular way. I can only imagine how many times God thinks to himself, Why are my people doing what they are doing? I stopped for coffee.
When I got to Niverville I shopped in a Man's store. No woman in sight! Barn stuff. As my cart is getting full I realized something. Everything in my cart was a part that had it's own purpose.
Things that work in conjunction with other parts connected to it. Parts that did not somehow drop from the sky blow up and become unique parts.
Jayms came with me today. We were shopping for skates for his upcoming hockey season. Fastest pair of skates I've ever bought! Almost late for my dentist appointment. Dr. Friesen gave me a quick lesson on dentistry. I'm happy he was the dentist not my imagination which always gets carried away about how things might turn out. Tools of the trade that can cause so much pain if not used correctly. All is well I have my two new fillings. Jayms has his skakes and we headed home. Tonight the youth are off to the city car hunting or something like that. Gaylene was choicen to be a driver. That makes Jayms and I home alone. Live on the farm has slowed a bit now. We are still looking for workers come mid November. so if you know any one please let us know. We are also looking for a house to rent.
I'll conclude here by my thought of the day. We did not come to be by a accident. We were chosen and created by a God. Like parts that have a specific purpose we too have a purpose in life. And like parts that need other parts to be of use, we too need each other. Ever notice how many things come with manuals? Why do we think we know how to live without our manual. The Bible. We don't need to aimlessly wander the earth like millions following each other to"Tims". There is a alternative to this madness. Robins Donuts!

Saturday sleep not in

Wow how time flies! Sitting this morning having my coffee at 7:45. Why? Adison and Aaryn are off to Tuelon for volleyball. Gaylene's with them. I get to stay home and do some prep work for the turkey injecting day on monday. In the afternoon I get to start our hockey winter with taking Jayms to a camp in Arborg. I sure hope his skates will work one more time as we have not been able to get new skates yet. I'd like to hear some feedback on the way our hockey year will go, or is going to go this year. Are we really heading into a era of "I can do whatever I want".

What's the point of authority? I really feel for people who have been given resposibility and then get ignored. This is a real problem in today's society. As long as we as parents don't teach our children what's right and repect authority this is the kind of child we will raise. What happenes when they grow up? Scary eh!

We have so much to be thankful for! Gaylene and I have been blessed with so much. When I see the negative in the world today, I think it's important to pull out all the good that still happens. We as a nation just viewed Thanksgiving weekend. Does this just spell holiday or do we really take the time to be thankful.

Gaylene and I stayed overnight at the victoria with our kids Sunday night to Monday. We held Thanksgiving at Rick and Paula's in Steinbach on Sunday. It's always good to still be able to get the family together even for a short time. Rick is still painting far as I can tell. We don't see much of each other so the short time on Sunday was a great time. (even if I still always loose in table hockey). On Gaylene's side David and Lenora were out again. They flew in from Fresno,CA to be with Mom when she was having open heart surgery. This did not happen so we just had a good visit. I'm not sure if they will do that again. Get's expensive trying to guess when medical stuff will happen. Mom is on the list and could be taken in at any time. Yes pray for this serious operation.

Very interesting

Intelligent people 'less likely to believe in God'
People with higher IQs are less likely to believe in God, according to a new study.

Found this after I logged off a little while ago. Find it amazing how intelligent people can so miss out on what we all find so amazing. Life and Creation. According to this little study, these people viewed themselves as atheist. Believing in nothing. How can one believe in nothing? If there is nothing more than nothing after this nothing life is over, why do we think there are intelligent people and stupid people? We should all be nothing. Whose standards are we following. How sad to think that when this life is over there will be nothing. I know a lot of you believe there is a god and we all go to heaven if we are good people. Wake up call! Any one of you check how many of God's laws you have broken? Who will pay for this? Where will be the justice? If a killer before the Judge says he's really sorry and asks to be released, is he? Believing in God and thinking 'my good will outweigh the bad' simply will not cut it. We will still be found guilty. A criminal must pay his debt to his crime. Breaking God's law is punishable by death. We must pay the price. I believe that we are all intelligent creations of God, made in his image. We have a purpose in live and God's given us free will to make intelligent choices. But we MUST accept God's free gift and let him take the punishment for breaking God's Laws. Only then can we be saved and fulfill our purpose in life. Let's use our Intelligence!

Coolsat still works

Any one know if Serna trained to be a kicker or is he in the wrong sport? Sorry I won't go there. Had a good relaxing Saturday which always includes several barn checks and chores. I have a bit of a false sense of what a day off is but for me I guess it's normal. Aaryn is working today as she agreed to work the odd day here and there. Jayms and Adison had Trent and Lucas over for the weekend as Dennis and Linda are in Grand Forks watching Travis play hockey. Also apparentely it's their anniversary.

Hockey, What should we do?? Combined with FB. Two communities making one team is extremely hard if all we want from our kids is participation. Both communities agreeing to merge into one team is the only way this will work. As long as we feel that we are two communities with one team there will always be problems. Kind of like Marriage, two people living together and living for themselves will lead to difficulties. But when two people decide to live for each other, this marriage will work. I'm not sure if we want marriage for our communities.
