I love this video

I saw this movie tonight.  I had not actually heard of it before my friend mentioned that maybe we might go.  I think that was a good thing because had I seen a lot of previews for it I might not have liked it, because I find that if a movie is too hyped up I get disappointed. 

I really liked it, it had me jumping the entire time, and it’s not like it was scary or anything.  Things just popped up when you weren’t expecting it. 

My cadet friends are totally cool…

Monday Madness

So it was our first ever Louis Riel day here in manitoba, I’m not quite sure what significance it is supposed to have other than the fact that Manitoba decided that a February holiday was needed and we needed a name for it so after a while it was decided it would be called Louis Riel day…so I guess we’ll see over the next few years how it develops.

 It’s nice to have a day off, especially after a weekend where you don’t have time to relax. 

My aunt and uncle came home from Hawaii on Friday night, so we were at their house for a while looking at their pictures, then I finally came home and slept in my own bed after 2 weeks. 

Then on Saturday I had to get up early enough to head to the store to buy all the supplies for Fear Factor night at youth group.  It was a good night, what amazed me was the fact that there were no prizes awarded, yet all the kids still volunteered to eat gross things, I was shocked as well that we had like 6 volunteers to drink a concoction made up of all the gross things we had set up on the table for the previous round….kids really like the challenge I guess. 

Then Sunday there was church, we had some lady from the free press there, which made me kind of feel like we were on parade. 

Tonight I was supposed to be at a meeting at the church for the worship committee, but I told Julie that I would not be going.  It’s a holiday and the church has me so busy right now that I needed to take a rest.  So I did, and that is how this week is shaping up.

I’ve posted this one before but it is worth reposting
 

Mad Cap Monday

I hate Mondays, they really suck.  It means I have a whole week of work in a job, that right now ticks me off sometimes. 

I am usually pretty grumpy in the mornings but it is especially worse on Mondays.

Usually Monday is my worst day of the week, and today has been no different. 

I want to be in a job I love, so I look forward to monday morning…..hopefully the time will go fast until I go to CFOT…

I stole this from my friend Crystal’s facebook, who stole it from Stacey

Diet Time

Well the new year will soon be here.  In 2008 I am going to try to be healthier, which will include…less calorie intake, plus I am going to try to be a vegetarian.  I love meat, but I think it is better for you on so many levels.  I might try to exercise…and I am going to avoid fast food of all kinds at whatever the cost.

 Fast food has always been my downfall.  I don’t even like it but I am pretty addicted.  I get grumpy when I don’t have it.

 I need to get healthier though, I have a lot of stomach and other health problems (none serious), but it can all be linked to my diet.  My doctor has told me on more than one occassion that I am on a fast track to diabetes, so with the fact that I am going to be 30 years old this year…it’s time.  So this time next week I will be preparing for a life change.  (although it will be on the 2nd because I want one last Turkey dinner which we will have on New Years Day).

Anyways that’s the health update.

Family

I will uphold the sanctity of marriage and family life.

I definitely uphold the sanctity of marriage and family life.  I also believe that this takes different forms.   This promise however is too packed to address in a single blog entry, there are many facets and arguments out there concerning marriage and family life. 

 I however on my journey will uphold the fact that I believe marriage and family life are important societal threads and every situation is unique.  I will stand for what I believe on different issues, maintaining my integrity in those believes whether they go against the mainstream in society or even the mainstream in religion.

Break

Ok I am taking a quick break from my covenant posts to vent. 

I hate being in meetings where someone is talking to a group of people and 3 or 4 people in the group have complete disregard for the person speaking and carry on a conversation right in front of the speaker….especially when the group is only 9 people to begin with….very noticeable and very rude.

Relationships

I will maintain Christian ideals in all my relationships with others: my family and neighbors, my colleagues and fellow salvationists, to those to whom and for whom I am resonsible, and the wider community.

I think that this one follows right along with the integrity one.  I think of the promises, it is the hardest one for many people to keep.

I mean it is easy in some circumstances, like with the people I like, but what about with the people who frustrate me the most. 

What exactly are the Christian ideals in this case?  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.

Who is my neighbor?  Well I have people living next door they are, there are also the people on my street.  My neighbor isn’t only these people though they are everyone I come into contact with.

 There will always be difficulties with other people, but we gotta keep trying to treat people the way we would want to be treated in the same situation.  Doing the best we can to be like Jesus to everyone. 

I have a hard time with this one, and I fail a lot.  However I don’t give up, and will continue to try and live out my faith better in this way.  Sometimes the best you can do is keep trying.
