Welcome

My adventures in life!

A life lived in love will never be dull.

- Leo Buscaglia

an Inconvenient Truth

"Open up your eyes
and see these warning signs
Breaking through your heart and all the reason of your mind

Open up to find
your action leaves behind
The very hope that's given for the world to feel alive"
(Open up your Eyes - Jeremy Camp)

Nothing can prepare you for the impact this movie will have upon your out look on Mother Earth. Just seeing the evidence, the stats, charts, lies, myths, melting ice caps, disappearing lakes, ice shelves breaking apart, drought, massive floods, hurricanes growing into distructive masses....

What have we done to this planet so graciously given to us?

Forgive us for our ignorance.

The Quest

Tonight(Friday) was a blast!

Laserquest is sooo much fun! I am so going to do it again! Maybe part of a birthday bash in September and we'll be doing the Ironman - 1/2h of running around and lasering people.

Good times with Elisha and Alex or should i say Parthos, Aramis and Athos? Now to rest my sore muscles..

One of a Kind

"Just think,you're here not by chance,but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you and made you the person you are.
He compares you to no one else.
You are one of a kind.
You lack nothing that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation." Roy Lessin

Good memory.

Now here's a memory I miss people would forget:

Me barfing into a garbage can at Canada's Wonderland. Got a nice mental picture? Good. I have a story for you.

Back in Sept '01, I went with a bunch of people to Canada's Wonderland - 5 boys and 2 girls (including me) to be exact. Dustin, Mike H, Mike P (and his date), Kris, Dave and me. At one point of the day the boys got a brilliant idea of dragging me onto Drop Zone. The ended on a happy note - i thought it was so awesome!
Then we went over to the Bat. I had already said that last time I went on a rollercoaster like this 2 years ago I felt quite icky. But i thought I could handle a backwards rollercoast the second time. Oh how I was wrong! I felt very sick when we got off, pretended to be fine then finally confessed I felt sick. So I sat a ride out, watched as they went round and round and round and round on a ride....*mad scamble for garbage can*

Me: *stand up after emptying stomach*
Dustin: "You call that barf?"

Let's just say I will never live this moment done, was reminded of it tonite and being back at Wonderland on Saturday. I'll never forget that place because of that one memory.

Although I wasn't the only one to have a rough day that day - Mike P got a bloody nose after the one ride.

What a memory to cherish! Or not...

Sonshine Fest

Spend my Saturday afternoon with my friend Jenn at Canada's Wonderland taking in the sounds from a couple christian bands - TFK, Kutless and Jeremy Camp.














It was a fantastic time and I really enjoyed Jeremy Camp's performance - out of the 3 we heard today, he's the reason I wanted to go. This was his first time having a concert in Canada. What an amazing artist!














I also purchased a couple tees which are pretty sweet.

More pictures will be posted later here.

My mind is in a cloud, I'm a four leaf clover

Lesson #1 of the day: Don't take neo-citron at work, causes (a) great diconnection between mind and body (b) randomly nodding off while typing (c) glazed look and absolutely no ability to focus (d) would pay anything for a snooze...

Dunno how I'm gonna make it thru the rest of the day :S Although come 4:30 I'll be wide awake - always happens.


*Will post about weekend soon

Just Drive Over There

M: "Believe it or not, I can drive"
R: *snort*

Why does no one believe me that I can drive?

First car I drove and dad showed me how to drive:
(1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic)
We just gave away this car this spring - it's still in running condition, just not exactly safe to drive anymore












Second car my parents owned that I drove when I came home on weekends from college:
(1996 Mercury Grande Marquis)
This was my grandfather's car of which he upgraded to a 2001 edition and we got this one












Third car my parents now own since their accident 2 years ago:
(1995 Ford Crown Victoria)
Parents wanted another big car after accident since that's pretty much what saved them










My dad's old delivery truck I drove only a few times:
(1998 Ford Econoline 350)
I didn't drive this truck very much but rode in it a lot when I helped my dad during the summer













My dad's current truck:
(1991 Ford Ranger)
I drive the truck when I need to get around on weekends when I'm at my parents place

Now here's an Oldie

Co-worker was humming this:

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - circa 1758
