About that...

2009-01-06T16:20:00.004-06:00

I guess I will be posting on here whenever there is something going on. This friday or saturday (what will work?)we, the youth, will be taking down the christmas tree. And so tell me on the comments what day will work. And also I think we should come up with a night to hang out at the church like every other week or something.

Thursday Night Thingger

2008-02-04T19:53:00.000-06:00

that's as good a name I could come up with. We've done a test run of this a couple times, and the coffee house aspect of it worked well, so from now on plan for a Thursday night of hanging out. If you want feel free to bring something, like a game, the new Soulja Boy Tellem cd, or anything really, at least bring you're self. It all starts at 7 o'clock at the church. There also is an adult small

advent service part 2.

2007-12-09T23:37:00.000-06:00

So, the youth group played "Set Fire to the Third Bar" by Snow Patrol for the service last week and here it is.And just to let everyone know, the bottle drive made $286.75 not too shabby.

The Advent Service

2007-11-12T20:36:00.000-06:00

Alright,So on Wednesday night at 6:47 there will be a music practice for the advent service. Bring a song or two that you know or that you like and can learn to play.

Hello from Depot

2007-11-10T10:05:00.000-06:00

This is Cadet Reid writing here. I am no longer called Steven, just Cadet.Every thing is fine here in Regina. I signed a lot of papers on Friday and took my stuff to the dorm and had a quick tour of the Depot. So far it's pretty easy, of course I haven't had any classes or jogged anywhere or woke up at 5:30am yet.The wife and I went out for our last date night Friday night after the Depot

Moving On...

2007-11-09T21:25:00.000-06:00

Well, Steve is gone, which most should know by now.But just because Steve is gone doesn't mean that youth group is over and we don't need to raise money for events. There will be a bottle drive tomorrow (Saturday the 10) @ 2:00 at the church. Be there. this site will be updated from time to time, I'll try to do it on Mondays, but don't expect a story about my day. I don't think I'll get into that

News

2007-10-22T11:31:00.000-06:00

It's final, I have announced it to everybody that I have been around. I've stood up in Church from the pulpit and all on Sunday now know that I have been accepted into Depot at the RCMP. For six months I will be in Regina. Leaning how to be a RCMP Constable.Amazing eh?It has been a year of academic and physical test, interviews, medical clearance, polygraph meeting, etc.But what about this

Death Food

2007-10-15T13:17:00.000-06:00

Hunting, this is something that I have never done in my life. The only things that I have killed on *purpose* were bugs, and even then the bug has to deserve it. Unless it's a mosquito, they should all die. But if it's a spider or a beetle or something like that, I would rather carry them out of the house than kill them. I remember one time I ran over a cat out at my parents, it wasn't dead,

be vary, vary qwuiet...I'm hunting wabbits!

2007-10-08T21:13:00.000-06:00

So fearless and unknowing Steve has set off into the wilds of Saskatchewan in search of his first kill. Ahem *cough cough* I mean in search of SEEING his first kill, 'cos he doesn't have a license and so that would be just stupid. Really, really stupid. And we all know Steve isn't stupid...*cough cough*So!! That being said, there is NO BIBLE STUDY this week. Lucky you, there is also no youth

Thanks

To be thankful is a great state of mind. It's a humble attitude, a grateful one indeed. What are we thankful for this year?Thanksgiving Supper, I'm thankful for that. Not

Fall Retreat

2007-09-24T13:53:00.000-06:00

What can I say? It was awesome as usual. CHBC seems to be the highlight for just about everybody. Is it the camp? Is it the football game? Which by the way Saskatchewan won, again. Or maybe the great speakers? Instead, is it about the people who are there? Maybe it's the act of us setting a side our time, place, ourselves, jobs and the like to come and focus on our relationships with God

The family that hotels together stays together...

2007-09-10T10:59:00.001-06:00

Our family decided to go for one more trip before the fall gets us completely swamped. Off to the place where the magic happens...S'toon. We said what the hey, lets get a hotel room with a pool. Tuesday last week we left and went straight to the forestry farm. We had a picnic and then we went into the farm. The kids had a great time looking and playing around all the animals. I haven't been

Mornings

2007-09-03T09:07:00.000-06:00

As many of you may have guessed I'm not a morning person. In fact I wish that the work day would start at 12pm and end at 8pm. Cause I love staying up, I work best at night, I think best at night. I even keep a note pad close by cause I have ideas that I have to write down. I lay awake for hours think about stuff. And it's never that stuff that you think about during the day, it's alway the

The family that cabins together stays together...

2007-08-30T13:51:00.000-06:00

Yep, that's us, the cabin family. We went to my uncles cabin for three days and had a great time.It rained off and on for the first two days, and was mainly cloudy for the whole time, but it was a great time. Lisa and I were able to have afternoon naps and the kids napped as well. We played on the playground and walked the dog. The kids learned how to bat a ball and how to carry wood for a

Half a Century...

2007-08-21T10:13:00.000-06:00

This last weekend I was out at my parents house. The reason? My mother is and did turn the big 5-0. It was a great time. First of all we had mom thinking that nothing was going on. My family just came up and took her out for lunch and then we were going to spend the night and head home the next day. Needless to say my mom was right mad, like fit to be tied, it was rather funny, even though

Narrow Hills was AWESOME...

2007-08-15T10:16:00.000-06:00

Yep I have to admit it was a great time. I hope that all of you had a great time as well. I think we were all slightly tired when we got back and our faces were a little red in the cheeks, but that comes with a great time.Here are some great pictures to look at:Gateway Youth's Camping Trip

Hello, I'm still Here...For now

2007-07-20T11:17:00.000-06:00

It's summer. How do I know this...cause time is going faster than usual. You know it's summer when you wake up and it's half way through July and you're wondering if you'll ever have the time to enjoy this time.Camp at Covenant Heights was awesome as usual. Gavin was the director, and the Winnipeg church were the hosts. I just can't believe all of the talent that Winnipeg has. They have the

Life is a Beach

2007-06-25T14:47:00.000-06:00

Lisa has been saying for about 5 weeks now how she wants to go to the beach. And for 5 weeks either it has been raining or we were busy or it was cold. So this last Sunday we went. After church we packed up the kids and everything that has to do with the beach and we were off. Off to Candle Lake to a quiet little beach that's not busy and the water is shallow for about .5 of a km out. Like

F4

2007-06-22T11:51:00.000-06:00

I bit the bullet and went and saw F4- Rise of the Silver Surfer. I wasn't expecting to much, mainly due to the last movie not been that great. My wife went and saw it the night before, by the way we have started to go separately to some movies cause babysitting is to much for us to pay all the time. Especially in the summer when all the big budget ones come out. So I saw it and some parts

Father's Day

2007-06-18T13:35:00.000-06:00

Yeah I know it was yesterday, but I want to say today what happened for my day.Awesome home made card from my wife and kids. My wife took a picture of herself and the kids and then framed it so I can take it to the office. Good and if not awesome.Then My wife allowed my to have just about any supper I wanted. I said steak, which is something that I get to eat maybe once a year. So she said

Aid I will give First

2007-06-11T19:13:00.000-06:00

This week I'm taking a First Aid and CPR course at St. John's Ambulance. This is a 3 day course, 9-5pm everyday. Actually I'm glad that I'm taking it. I find it very interesting. It might come in handy one day, hopefully I won't have to use it. But I know if I hang out with Cory, I will be putting all of it in to practice.So Monday to Wednesday I will be at this course. This is another

I have my Face on a Book

2007-06-08T12:04:00.000-06:00

Yep there is a cool new way to communicate on line. Forget MySpace or Tagged, now we have FaceBook. I don't know when it came about, but it's the way to go, at least for now. Everything has a time, just like Ecclesiastes 3: A Time for Everything. Soon something better, faster, easier, and more free will come out to replace what was working fine. So far I like it. It seems to be great to

How smart are you?

2007-06-04T13:03:00.000-06:00

Well this doesn't measure how smart you are, but it shows something.Now depending on how fast your computer is this show be hard to do.Basically all you do is using the mouse grab on to the red square and don't touch the sides or the blue squares that move. If you can last longer than 18 seconds you are doing great. I personally have made it up to 24 seconds, on the computer at the church,

Jr Jam High Lights

2007-05-28T15:43:00.001-06:00

Jam was a lot of fun this year. At least I thought it was fun, unfortunately I didn't have as much time to hang out with the Jammers as I would have liked to. It is amazing how much one is on call when their directing the event. I remember passing Micah a couple of times saying that I didn't have time to talk at the moment. Sorry Micah...From what I have heard from alot of Jammers, including

Gone

2007-05-15T15:35:00.000-06:00

If you don't know already this weekend is Junior High Jam. Steve is gone to Strathmore already, so there will be no bible study this week (we'll let you know about next week). For those of you going to Jam, meet at the church Friday at 8 am. Any questions phone (I'll do my best to answer) or check out the site.Have a great time!!

Change of Plans

2007-05-10T16:42:00.000-06:00

So, about that Siderman 3...I guess nobody wants to go.Except for Micah.I love you Micah, but I think we might have to follow the flow this time.I'm in the process of finding out about THE movie that we discussed on Wednesday.Please look to this web site tomorrow for further info.Would you rather watch the movie at the church on the powerpoint thingy or at my house on the 27 inch TV?

Fly

2007-05-08T16:03:00.000-06:00

So I'm working in the garage, on the Land Cruiser, and from outside I hear the kids from their tent in the backyard, "dad, come see the lady bug". This I have heard a couple of times now and each time we look at the lady bug and Matthias picks it up and lets it walk all over his hand. In fact the last time he did that, the wings popped out and the lady bug flew away. Well that scaried Matthias

Callah's Bike

2007-04-30T14:28:00.000-06:00

Actually it's not really hers, it was Matthias'. And if one was to be technical the bike really belongs to Matthias' cousin, my brother's kid. He grew out of the bike and now Matthias grew out of it, so Callah has a chance to learn how to ride a bike.First the training wheels have to be in place and tightened well. Next Callah learned how to steer, this went over well. She soon realized that

Thursday, Thursday

2007-04-26T19:29:00.000-06:00

I can't believe it's Thursday already. This week is flying by like the Canadian Geese flying North. Just a quick update:Tomorrow we are meeting at the McKeaveney's house for Bigger and Better. I would put the address on here but this is a public place. So I encourage all of you to look up their address. Meet their at 7pm, pick up is at 10pm at the same place.I haven't decided what to use as

Timing

2007-04-24T15:13:00.000-06:00

How did you enjoy the Conference? What were some of your highlights? (ex. meeting possible future in-law family members or holding babies?) What were some of your lowlights? (ex. meeting possible future in-law family members or holding babies?)I know for me, just hanging out with you guys a bit was highlight enough! :)This week is as follows:Wednesday April 25: NO WORSHIP SERVICE OR BIBLE

Amazing "Great Time" Sleepover

2007-04-16T13:56:00.000-06:00

A good time, but not a long time. The amazing race went over very well. It was diffidently alot more fun watching than planning. My favorite was the baloney eating, good times to watch, but not to do.Congrats to Thomas and Justin for winning the race. It was a close one though. Seconds separated 1st and 2nd. I will drop off the camera to be developed today. Should be some great pictures.

April Break

2007-04-09T10:40:00.000-06:00

2007-04-03T14:05:00.000-06:00

Just a reminder, I would love to have a meeting with the Worship and Event Commitees. How about Tuesday April 3 @ Calton Bakery for Events say 3:30pmish and Wednesday April 4 @ Carlton bakery for Worship say 3:30pmish as well. Anybody need rides? Who can make it? Give me a call for a ride.This was posted about a couple of days ago. I hope every body has been reading this site. I was banking on

Sunday S-cool

2007-04-02T14:14:00.000-06:00

I don't think that I have ever, in my long and lustrous career as a youth Pastor, began and finished a complete book of the Bible in Sunday School. Let alone Genesis, the beginning of it all. Time, the earth, Hebrews, prophecy about the Christ, need for redemption, sin, clothes, wars, tribes and everything else under the sun all have a beginning in Genesis.To tell the truth I have learn a lot

Laminatation...

2007-03-30T10:06:00.000-06:00

We as the Reid family bit the bullet and forked out some of our hard earned pay and bought some much needed laminate flooring. Why laminate flooring? Because I can install it. Because it covers a multiple sins, IE. ugly flooring without having to take it out. Because it's sorta cheap. In case you didn't know, we had to rip out the carpet from the living room and the two bedrooms up stairs,

Jury Duty...Again

2007-03-27T13:16:00.000-06:00

Some of you may or may not know I was part of a 12 man and woman jury last summer. A month ago I got a letter requesting that I come to the court house to report for jury duty. Well I though that one could only be part of the jury every 2 years. But apparently that isn't true.Today was the day that I had to go to the court house. I arrived at 10am and sat through the process of naming every

A BIG Thank You!!

2007-03-19T16:44:00.000-06:00

Last week I saw the birth of a new human being that God intrusted Lisa and myself to raise on this earth. Quite a beautiful girl, if you ask me. After that I spent the rest of the week working and helpping around the house. With that came the bonus of spending time with the kids. I really enjoyed the time I had at home. Folding clothes after washing them of course, getting a brup blanket

Welcome Home Keziah!

2007-03-14T16:11:00.000-06:00

Isn't she adorable!!

Baby On Board...

2007-03-13T13:57:00.000-06:00

The time seemed right, mainly cause we had no choice. There is a new member of the family. Monday at 5:07pm we weclomed Keziah Ruth Reid to the world. A beautiful 6pound 3 oz. baby, who was 20 inches long.Not to brag, but Lisa was asked to push and with one push, out came the baby. Good times. Well maybe not for the baby.This also means that there will not be any youth events this

Baby Blues

2007-03-12T12:31:00.000-06:00

There not really blues, but it sounded good. Were waiting here at home after coming back from the hospital. We left for the hospital at 7:30am this morning and were out by 9:00am. They just told us to go home and wait until the pain was greater. Okay, and that's just what we did. Lisa soaked in the tub for about 30 minutes. Other than that every thing is on for this week, unless otherwise

Awesome Movie....Or is it?

2007-03-05T15:10:00.000-06:00

I got a phone call about a week ago from my Brother. He was on his way home from a movie and he kept saying how awesome it was and funny as well. I said great what movie? Ghost Rider....There was actual silence. I said are you sure cause the preview didn't help the movie, at all. He said yeah I know, but I went and saw it and it's awesome!Okay I said thanks for the tip. Fast forward a week,

Weekend with the kids...

2007-02-26T12:03:00.000-06:00

Actually it went well. Had a great time just hanging out with my two kids. All this last week I was so busy that I was saying good morning to them on my way out the door then saying good night just after supper cause I had to go out again in the evening. That's no way to have a week, but more often that not, that's the kind of week that happens. Even this weekend I had to have a babysitter

What are we Planning?

2007-02-22T16:55:00.000-06:00

So at the Wednesday Youth Worship Night, which we had a great time learning all about Ash Wednesday, we went out for so good old coffee at the neighborhood pastry palace. Which in this instance was Tim Horton's, which by the way was the first time that I have been there in almost a year. Any who while we were eating and drinking the topic of this weekends youth event came up and what we were

Family Day

2007-02-21T11:48:00.000-06:00

Unless you've been living under a rock, you would've known that Monday was the first ever stat holiday called Family Day. I believe the idea behind it was for families to spend the day off work and doing things together. Here at the Reid household, my sister was still here and my parents 2 terrier dogs, so we decided to go out to the Lil' Red for some family tobogganing. 2 kids, 3 dogs, 2

Just a Quickie...

2007-02-16T16:13:00.000-06:00

Saturday is Swimming at Frank J Dunn Pool. Please meet there to swim at 6:30pm, arrange for pick up at the pool at 8:30pm. I got the group rate, thanks the awesome lifeguard, who just happens to be Meagan L. So when you come to tommorrow, plese talk to Meagan and say that you're with the Covenant youth group. It will be $2 each for swimming, if we have more than five people out. Granted

I have been flipping through the web looking for something to write about, cause I can't think of anything. Anything that I think is interesting to write about. Instead I'll write about what Lisa and I are doing tonight.First we are going to go out for Lisa's Birthday supper at Diggers. We're going cause we have a coupon for buy one meal get one free. Every time we go there we fill out a

Great and long afternoon nap

2007-02-05T12:02:00.000-06:00

I don't know if it's a record, or even if it's recorded, but I wonder if there is data about the youngest walking in the coldest weather. The reason I start with this, is because on Saturday it was -25 C and with the wind chill -37 C. On this day I took our beloved dog for a walk. Before I went Matthias asked if he could go along. I knew what the temperature was and I thought this could be

Are you ready for the revolution?

2007-02-01T15:39:00.000-06:00

It's almost that time of year again! I was bored yesterday and cruising a bunch of websites when I noticed that CBC had the Xtreme page up. You can check it out here. It's really not that exciting, but it gives you some info and something to start thinking about. As the new Reid baby is due to arrive that same weekend, we're not sure if Steve will be able to go this year (pray for an early

Sonw Daze 07

2007-01-29T17:25:00.000-06:00

Snow Daze in Norquay was awesome. It was really fast, but it was a great time. Lots of time for hockey, sledding, hang out, basket ball, floor hockey, swimming and good eats. All for $15. The speaker was great as well. The weather was great on Saturday for playing outside, the flip side was the traveling weather on Friday and Sunday. Both were filled with blowing snow and white outs.

I find my self listening to CBC Radio Two more and more. I like it to. All that classical music is great to listen to. I still don't like the Opera singing stuff. But listening to the music is great while driving. While I'm look of the windows and driving the music seems to flow with the wind moving the leaves or the branches in winter. Even when we had that major snow storm last week, I

I am Angry, Part II

2007-01-09T14:27:00.001-06:00

I forgot to mention that I went to the house that the foot prints lead to. The probem was that the offence was commited sometime after I got home, which was 11:30pm, and before it snowed. So the sidewalks to the house were covered with snow, I couldn't tell if the jerks went into the house or if they kept on going around the house. I didn't talk to them, but I wanted to, I just didn't know

I am AngryHere is the scoop, at the end you will know what kind of scoop it is. Lisa woke up this morning to the sound of Callah climbing on the stove, trying to reach some cookies. I woke up this morning with a neck that was out of place, like it has been for the last week. Back cracker every day last week, and it was feeling better Sunday so I went and played hockey. Everything was great

Holiday's are Great

2007-01-03T15:34:00.000-06:00

With the Christmas money that I had received from my parents and grandparents I bought a mig welder. Actually the sale was the end of Nov. and early Dec., so I bought it then. I didn't receive money yet, I guess you could say I gambled. I have tried to weld with it and I love it. I don't know, I think it's the feeling of making something that wasn't there in the first place. Steel is a

New Year's Eve???

2006-12-30T16:53:00.000-06:00

Hey this is just a reminder that we are having a year end party. I have been trying to phone everybody about this, but unfortunantly answering machines or no answers has been been my reply. Because I didn't know who would all be coming it was hard to plan for the party. But here is the jazz: We are going to meet at the church at about 7pm. We will start off with a game that Thomas invented.

Quiz

2006-12-27T10:49:00.000-06:00

One of my old youths email me this quiz that they took. So I took it.At the end this is what they had to say about me:You scored as Evangelical Holiness/WesleyanYou are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and

Merry Christmas!

2006-12-21T19:34:00.000-06:00

I thought I'd just take a moment here to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Enjoy eating (did you know that a person gains on average 10 lbs every Christmas?) all the baking and chocolate and spending time with family and friends.Take 'er easy!

Some things I will never understand...

2006-12-18T17:15:00.000-06:00

God has a funny way of doing things. Women spend a lot more time preparing themselves for public settings. Shaving their bodies, plucking everything else, foundation before the make up, mascara after the make up, lipstick or gloss to finish the make up, blow dryer after a shower, hairspray, curling or straightener iron, nail polish, and whatever else I'm missing. Always looking in the mirror

My Hard Headed Woman

2006-12-11T14:13:00.000-06:00

I was think about this the other day. One of the first things that I said to Lisa, when we were thinking about marriage was, "We are going to be poor". Now that's a marriage offer no one can refuse.... I tried to give her a heads up into my life and the call that God has given to me. At that time, God had called me to serve in the church. The church I was working for was paying me

The move is completed...Sorta.

2006-12-04T14:53:00.000-06:00

Yes, we made the big move. The move that will define our family for generations to come. The move that sees the beginning of change. What move you ask? The bedroom move. Lisa and I are officially basement dwellers, we have taken over the spare bedroom downstairs. Matthias and Callah are in our old bedroom upstairs and the yet to be known baby has it's own room where Mat and Cal used to be

Daniel Craig

2006-11-28T16:18:00.000-06:00

Okay, I admit it, I might have been slightly wrong with the whole Daniel Craig thing. On a spur of the moment "let's spend more money than we probably should" kind of night, Steve and I went to see the new 007 movie Casino Royale. As we were leaving the house I was thinking I should just tell Steve to go by himself, we'd save money and I really wasn't that interested in seeing it anyway. But

Deja Vu

2006-11-27T15:07:00.000-06:00

This was the movie that Lisa and I went to last night. Mr Washington was good as always as the good cop who sees what others miss. The Inside Man was a prime example or The Bone Collector or Fallen or The Siege or Virtuosity. Yup, Denzel, doesn't like to be typed cast. Probably the best movie he was in was Training Day, mainly cause he was acting in that one, acting like a bad guy. Yea I

cookies

2006-11-24T11:31:00.000-06:00

Hey don't forget tonite we're meeting at the church to make cookies for the Children's Haven. Last year we dropped them off that night and the kids were totally excited to receive them, so bring a friend, and your cookie ingredients and meet at the church at 7 pm.And I'll try not to start anything on fire this time.

Why Me?

2006-11-20T18:11:00.000-06:00

Well I phoned my mother today to ask her how the surgery went on Friday. She was fine physically. The surgery went well, there were no complications, they think all of the cancer is out. The Doctors only removed one breast, my mother thought that they were removing both. Now she is very glad that only one is missing. She has a drain tube, that's...well..draining the puss and grossness that

A Message From Steve

2006-11-13T20:05:00.000-06:00

This is actually Steve writing this, but I changed the password and userid for my Blogger account and now I can't remember what it is, so I asked Lisa to publish this under her userid for me. I know, she's too good to me.Today was a nice day to go for a walk with the family and Gus. To be honest I never really liked walking before. I'm one of those people who likes to be going somewhere, to

2006-11-06T16:50:00.000-06:00

This week seems lame for events, but it isn't really, at least I think it isn't. Tuesday's Rockin' Drop In is all about painting the Youth room. Funny enough, Wednesday Youth Worship night is all about painting the youth room. Anybody know how long we have been 'painting the youth room' ? I don't know, but it was along time ago, years I would say. Yea, I just spent about 10 minutes

Friday

2006-11-02T14:59:00.000-06:00

Thanks to the tender hearted who braved the cold to come watch Johnny Depp and a blonde (ew!) Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands on Tuesday night. Well done chaps!! Of course I would've liked to have seen Matthew McConaughey in Sahara more, but Johnny Depp was alright. And for the 2 of you, you know who you blessed ones are (not that the rest of you aren't blessed), who made it to bible study

Movie?

2006-10-30T14:38:00.000-06:00

(Lisa here, I'm just going to say that I don't know where Steve is going with this post. I think perhaps he lost some it, got frustrated and just published what was left, but perhaps not. So read what's there and just remember that he's dyslexic.)Well I have finished the Lord of the Rings Book a long time ago. The Fellowship was a good book. You can tell that there was a lot of thought to

Gifts of the Unexpected

2006-10-23T13:03:00.000-06:00

According to the ultrasound, Lisa is two week ahead. We and the doctors thought that she was 18 weeks, but now she is about 20 weeks. Which in reality isn't that long of a difference, now. This does effect the due date, later. March 24 was the first, but now the 12th is idea, or better still, between the 12th and the 24th. All this adds up to nobody knows for sure. Which I think is rather

Stop! Baby, What's that Sound...

2006-10-16T17:20:00.000-06:00

Everyone hears it's Ultra Sound. Can you name the original song? Lame I know but I came up with it so I typed it. Tuesday is the day that Lisa and myself will be able to see our baby for the first time, with our own eyes on a computer screen. I'm very excited to see, because to see is to know. And there is a difference between knowing and believing. You can almost put a face to the name,

Calling all 'ballers!!

2006-10-12T22:21:00.000-06:00

If you're one of the wild ones and can't wait to go Paintballing this Saturday you'll want to contact Steve. Due to space limitations we're moving our paintball to Paintball Paradise (the one we've been to before). If Steve hasn't talked to you, contact him ASAP. Times are the same. If you need a ride be at the church BEFORE 1:30 'cos we are LEAVING at 1:30 sharp. If you show up at 1:32

What to say? Canmore is a beautiful town. North and south are bordered by mountains. East and west are valleys to drive through the town. Although the majority of buildings are Hotels and Motels, there are some great restaurants. Basically this is a holiday town. People move there to work in hotels or restaurants so they can ski or camp or snowboard and get paid while their there. Others

car anyone?

2006-09-25T15:50:00.000-06:00

Steve is currently sitting at Gus' Auto waiting for the van, which had been making an odd banging noise for the past couple of weeks. We took it there when it first started making the noise, only to have it stop, but continually get worse and worse ever since. So anyway, we decided to take it into the shop. Hopefully it won't cost a pretty penny to have it looked at. While he's there, I

Amazing Good Time

2006-09-18T15:40:00.000-06:00

Yea we had the Amazing Race this last Saturday. Lucky it was raining other wise it would have been just a race. No the rain added quickness to the steps, if any thing. Well the race was an experiment, I didn't know how long it would go or how well you guys would have liked it. Now I know that everybody liked it and everyone wished it would have been longer and a the clues a little harder.

2nd weekly update

2006-09-15T14:09:00.000-06:00

Well if you've been living under a rock and completely cut-off from the world you'd have no idea what happened to Cory. In which case we'll let you know. Tuesday after the Drop-In Cory was rushed to the hospital with a collapsed lung. He went in for surgery that night and has been in I.C.U. for 2 days now. I'm not sure if he's been moved onto a recovery ward or not yet, but Steve went to see

It has Begun...

2006-09-11T11:57:00.000-06:00

First Friday Finally happened last...well...Friday. Yea we had the American Gladiators theme. Good times. I do believe the teams were: Nitro, Turbo and Ice. Nitro won the Tournament of Champions. I think the favorite was the Assault game. Basically all I did was set up table all round the church down stairs and brought about 20 tennis balls. After that the youth teams had go from table to

It all Rings True

2006-09-05T11:06:00.000-06:00

Let's begin the new journey of beginnings. Speaking of beginnings, I've started to read the Lord of the Rings Books. Right now I'm on the Fellowship of the Rings, starting book two. I can't imagine how long the movies would have been if they followed the book. Even if they sang every song, that would take an hour alone. And this Tom Bombadil, who or better yet what is this guy or thing

Camping Family Style

2006-08-28T17:18:00.000-06:00

Camping, what a joy. Family, also a joy. Well what better way to have more joy than, joining them together...in theory. Thursday- Saturday Lisa and all of us Reid's went camping for the first time with my family. This includes: Mother (Sylvia), Step dad (Barry), Brother (Alexander), and Sister (Rebecca). My other Brother was able to join us as well: Brother(Adam), His wife (Niki), and

We had a going away party for Hillary and Mark. I thought it went over well. I started kinda rocky, but finish strong.One of the better parts was the passing around of the Youth Photo Album. Just to sit back and listen to all the stories and memories that came out of those pictures. That's what I like about pictures, they remind you of a time. A time that we will never have again, all we

2006-08-15T12:40:00.000-06:00

Well I love holidays. I also love my own bed. I love to travel, but I love my own bed. I love to visit family(most of the time), but I love my bed. I guess what I'm saying is that, I love to visit, but I wouldn't want to stay. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that my family could go on a holiday. We went to Calgary and visited the Zoo, which by the way is an awesome thing to go to, even if

Camp, what a great idea.

2006-07-25T11:31:00.000-06:00

Yea the youth of Gateway went camping to Narrow Hills from July 17-21. This week was filled with so many memories and thoughts that I can't write it all down. So I will highlight some: -Matthew face full of Dirt -Canoeing in a clear calm lake in the evening and watching the sunset while we fished. -Wrapping some bannock around a stick and cooking it over a fire, then stuffing it with some

Pressurize??

2006-07-14T10:02:00.000-06:00

I think that I'm getting the feeling that I'm pressuring people too much. I always thought that I would ask and wait for an answer. But I guess some people feel pressured to go along with what I say. Is it because I'm to forceful, to argumentative, to abrasive? I didn't think so, but what do I know. I can only hear what I say, know what I think, and view what I see. Another person also
