Where are you?
That was the question that Scott asked us..... Where are you?
God knows where we are. But He still asks us that question. For our own benefit, so that we learn.
What are our idols? Wanting to be the best in everything? Climbing the career ladder? Friends? What is taking our time away from God?
Ponder on this until my next entry, I have SO much good exciting stuff to share with you.

Rant 1st, catch up 2nd
I just have to get this off my chest, stop me if you don't agree.....
The States is being battered right now by hurricanes, thousands of people are losing their homes, whole cities are going to need rebuilding. And do you know what one of the top headlines about the States has been this week? 103 BILLION dollars is being used to send more americans to the moon. WHAT???? Am I the only one that thinks that this is OUTRAGEOUS??? SERIOUSLY, WHO IS THINKING HERE???
Anyway, I know that there will be people that will say 'in the name of science/progress etc...' But I do think it is WRONG, when so many people are in need that this is what is happening, I think that the American government needs to do some real priority re-thinking.
FEED, CLOTHE AND HOUSE YOUR PEOPLE FIRST, then you can play in space.
OK, rant over. WOW, we are busy right now (I know I say this a lot...but we are), Mum's visit flew by, and I've barely caught my breath this week. It seems like the baby season has begun, in the last week we have heard of 5 friends who are expecting babies. And, I heard yesterday about 2 different friends from home who got engaged in the last week.
And gym is going great, and yes we WORK OUT, we don't gossip as we do it.... MARK...CHEEKY!!! We don't have any breath to talk with.... some people are SO RUDE! But yeah, going to the gym is great, I'm really beginning to enjoy it. It means I get to hang out more with Tanya too, which is so good, because I love her! I feel like I have made a really good friend in her, who actually sees more of the 'old Chris', that enjoys some of the english stuff that other people just don't get, that is very valuable to me, it's great having that again.
Well it's retreat time again, I'm busy at work planning our staff/board retreat (I'm so excited), and going on the Senior High retreat this evening, it's gonna be fun! But Lindsay isn't coming to the retreat this weekend, which is kinda a bummer, I miss him at night, he's good to snuggle with...
We had 'Survivornight' @ Chris & Sue's last night. It was fun, it was just really great to hang out with them, catch up with all the summer news. I love Survivor, it's a good show.

Back at YFC
I started back at YFC a couple of weeks ago, which is great. But I haven't actually been there that much yet. My 1st week back I got another sinus infection so was off a couple of days, and then Mum has been here the last 2 weeks so we've taken some holidays while she has been here, so only in the office 3 days last week, then 3 days this week. Hopefully back to normal next week (as normal as it can get here).
Mums 1st weekend here we had a fairly laid back time.
Saturday we went to Shell Lake to spend the day with Marlene and Peter which was fun, it was probably the last hot day of summer here for this year.
Sunday we went to church then had some friends over for a BBQ lunch, then we played games in the afternoon. We went to see fireworks for the Centennial that night.
Monday we went for lunch at the Berry Barn, and Mum got to do some souvenir shopping.
Tuesday.... I have no clue, I think we just had a lazy day together.
This past weekend was busy:
Saturday we drove to Edmonton and went to IKEA to buy some bedside cabinets, which I love!
Sunday we went swimming in the hotel pool (well sat in the hot tub), then did a bit of shopping in West Ed Mall. Mid afternoon we went to Uncle Earl & Aunt Susans, to just catch up. Then we went to Kelly & Joanna's for supper (Shannon was there too:-). It was really good to get to spend time with the Edmonton part of the family.
Monday we did more shopping at the West Ed Mall, and came home around 4ish, arrived home just before 10pm.
We managed to miss all the heavy wind and rain that hit Saskatoon over the weekend.
Mum doesn't leave til Friday so we still have lots to do, family supper at Marlene and Peters tonight for a start.
