Quick Trip to Harrison

This past Monday-Tuesday Charity and I got to head up to Harrison Hot Springs Resort for a FREE night stay! Free room, free meals, free baby!

For the past 2 years our denomination provides Pastor's & Spouses with a free night's stay prior to our annual convention. So we packed our bags and headed up for a great night of connecting with other friends in the Fellowship, and of course soaking in the hot springs!

What was even more amazing was during dinner in the ballroom they broadcast the Canucks game 7 through a projector onto a huge screen! So Charity and I and another 200 or so pastor's & their wives got to celebrate the victory together while waiving our white cloth napkin's in the air!

It was a great night, and something we both really enjoyed. So now these past 2 days I've been attending our annual convention in Cloverdale. This again is a great time to connect with other Youth Pastor's who are spread out through BC.

That's all for now:

35 under 35


This is a project that my good friend Corey, who works for Arrow Leadership, has been working on.

This project is looking to identify, profile, celebrate, equip and encourage 35 key young Canadian leaders under 35, to invest in their lives and strengthen their leadership potential.

You have until May 31st to nominate someone for this project. So take some time to look over the site and if you know of someone who is making a serious difference for the Kingdom then get off your butt and nominate them!

Here's a little blurb from their home page:

God is raising a cadre of young Christian leaders throughout Canada who are being prepared to lead amidst the complexities, challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Who are these dynamic men and women? What can we learn from their stories? How can we encourage their dreams, invest in their leadership and extend their influence?

P.S. I'll be flattered if you nominate me (wink-wink...nudge-nudge!!!)

Golf Season Has Begun!


Today I dusted off my clubs and headed over to Redwoods to shake the rust off me. It's been a good 4-5 months since I've golfed so I figured what better time than on such a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon?

150 balls later and I'm quite pleased with myself. Definitely a few stray shots...but many that weren't half bad! Then some good time practicing my chipping & putting and I was done.

I can't wait to get out to the courses and really golf. It'll probably be another good month before I feel ready...but that's why I love having a day off on Monday! So if anyone's looking for a golfing buddy let me know. I'm game... and I've got some sweet 2 for 1 coupons in my Entertainment book!

Easter Weekend

Well it's been a great weekend so far...and will continue to be a good one.

Here's what's been going on:

Friday April 6th:

10pm - Good Friday Service @ CLA. It was nice for Charity and I to simply "attend" a church service. Sometimes anonymity is a nice thing.

2pm-10pm: I went to the Vancouver Auto Show with my brother for the day! We haven't spent time as just the two of us for ever. It was a great time to check out all the cars, and then go out for dinner at the Shark Club afterwards. We both agreed that Dodge really didn't bring their A-Game to the show...not bringing in crucial parts of their fleet. Saturn on the other hand was a total shocker! I have to say that we are both big fans of the Saturn Sky Roadster. My bro is 6 feet and I'm 6'2" and we fit well into it...and really enjoyed its overall look & features.

Charity and Alisha (my bro's wife) were able to spend the day together as well. It was definately something we wish we could do more of...but find it tough living an hour apart.

Saturday April 7th:

This morning our church had our annual Children's Easter Celebration. We brought in a great ventriloquist and puppeteer from the Okanagan who made kids & parents laugh uncontrollably. This was an event I was looking forward to...and we had about 100 people show up! What a great turnout! We had a huge Easter Egg Hunt...and a hot dog lunch afterwards. Definitely a good morning.

NOW:

I am watching the Canucks vs. San Jose game. With a win they clinch their division! GO CANUCKS!

Tomorrow:

Easter Church Service @ 10am and then Charity and I head into Ladner for dinner with my parents and my brother & sister-in-law.

...as for Monday & Tuesday (which I have both days off) I don't know yet what I'll be doing. But I guarantee you I'll be sleeping in!

Have a great Easter...

He is Risen!

Feed the Craving

Ever had those times when you're absolutely starving...even though its almost your bed time? Yup...tonight was one of those nights. Charity and I were totally craving flame-broiled BK goodness. So at 10pm we drove down to Langley City and bought ourselves some food.

I think this is a first for us. But hey...that's what makes marriage fun! Sometimes a little spontaneity is a good thing!

Anyways...with stomach's full we'll be heading off to bed soon.
