Packing it in.

Well here I am at the office for one of the last times this summer. My job actually finished on Friday but I am preaching this Sunday and this is the place I get my best work done. I really can't believe that this is it. I am all done for the summer. My next visit to the ol office will probably be to pack up my stuff and get ready to head back for Maritime Christian College.

This has been a summer of new experiences. I had never been so busy in my entire life. I really think that this summer more than ever has given me a taste of what work in ministry is really like. See, there are times when I can't believe I get paid to do what I do and others when I wonder what I would make if I was paid by the hour. Don't get me wrong I love what I do. Even when there are things that are amazingly difficult, it is my desire and passion to help people and to minister to them.

They tell us at MCC, "If you can see yourself doing anything else, by all means, go do it." and I can't. This is what I have been called to do. To all of you who I have worked with this summer, thank you for the opportunity to minister and to grow.

So as I pack it in another summer is in the books. MCC, here I come.

The Way It Should Be

Well this past Saturday you would have found me, if you were looking for me, on Baseball Hill in Marysville. Some of you have already guessed at this point that yes I was at Worship East 2005. Man It was a blast! I had a ball. The bands were great and put on some awesome shows, the weather was perfect and I really enjoyed myself.

The best thing about it was this: It was the way it should be. You could bring all your stuff and put it where you wanted to sit and no one would bother it. You could talk to anyone and they were friendly and talked back. I didn't hear one negitive comment or curse or anything like that. It was just an enviroment where people who loved God or were seeking him could gather together and sing and dance and worship. It's great to be able to run around and act foolish for God and no one cares... not that that would stop me anyways but still.

Anyways, it was a blast and if you live anywhere near the atlantic provinces or in one yourself I hope you come next year to Worship East 2006!
