We're Rich (now with pictures)

Friday Night was awesome. An evening spent together focusing on God....what could be better?

1 Timothy 6:6-10
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 1For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Also, thank you for your generous donations to Trotski O'Dacy this month. There was an surplus in this month's donation, so all the excess money was donated to Compassion's AIDS initiative (Dec. 1st is International AIDS day, so I thought this was appropriate) "Compassion Canada is replacing despair with hope as 3,343 AIDS victims are supplied with antiretroviral therapy treatment and necessary care to overcome many obstacles related to AIDS."

Here is the message they sent us.

Thank you for donating to the AIDS Inititative. Your
contribution to this community project will help improve the quality of life
of children and their families. It well empower parents and communities to
become self-sufficient and escape the trap of poverty. We are grateful for
your support. God bless you.




See you Friday....

Go Loins Go!!!

Dimache, le 19 de Novembre, les Lions de Colombie Britanique avez detruit les Alloutes de Moreal en la 93e Grey Cup.....and there was the annual party at the Scott's house. We were joined by a lovely contingent of young people from Westminster Bible Chapel and had a grand old time with them. The annual halftime game was won by the Cougars 8-0 (they scored a touchdown and didn't even attempt the convert, and then punted through the endzone twice) Unfortunately we were too fast to be caught on camera during the halftime game, so some pictures of us watching the 'other game' aka Grey Cup.


Amy puts on her best face


Steve and Colleen looking like cool cats


There were plenty of people on hand to watch the Lions break the Grey Cup in half.


Well now that you see the good times we had, I'll be seeing you at the annual Super Bowl party at the Scotts.....my prediction Seahawks 21 - Bears 18

Bananaranapanamanaramahamarama

It was a cold and wet night, but then God stopped the rain and it was just cold as we departed on our quest to measure all things in bananas. Invading Kensington square lots of people thought we were nuts....I told them 'Nah, just a little bananas.' Silly people can't tell the difference between a nut and a banana. Regardless, at the end of the day, Bryan, Colleen and Matt won the 2006 edition of Bananarama. Congradulations to them.
After the event we enjoyed some lovely singing led by Marky Mark and the boys followed by some amazing Banana splits. Let me tell you, those were some good banana splits.

What a bunch of crazies

No Pictures and the greatest two questions ever asked

Well I forgot my camera to the multiple youth events this past week. Which truly is amazing since one of the events took place at my house. For you girls who did take pictures, send them to me :)
Anyways it was another wonderful youth week highlighted by: Tim almost having his face blown off....alot of fireworks....candy....poutine.....Jon moving back to Aus therefore giving us an excuse to party.

Since there are no pictures to comment on, I'll get serious. I am currently reading 'Amazing Faith' - the biography of Bill Bright. During which he hilighted the two greatest questions a person can ever ask themselves. It comes from Acts 9:3-6 and is Paul's (Saul) conversion(you'll have to read in the KJV or NKJV cuz the other translations really drop the ball on this one)

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

When comfronted with Jesus, Paul asked the two questions that we have to ask Him today: Who are You, Lord? and Lord, what do You want me to do?

I don't want to leave these questions dangling rhetorically, after you read this stop, pray and ask God these questions.
