"This isn't Nam, there are rules!"

I find it funny playing intramural sports in college, or high school for that matter. There are always the people who play floor hockey who act like the Stanley Cup hinges on this one game. Then there is always the guy who slashes or high sticks and knows it and that does happen by accident to some extent but c'mon you know the rules, you just choose to argue with the Ref just for kicks just like in the NHL.

Anyways, that is my rant post. I don't have many.

The Ol' Jackson Hole.....

So for the last two weeks I have been pretty much living at Matt, Rob and Logans house. It is good to get away from the ol' prov hole. That place can be so empty and boring sometimes. But yet it can also be full of good times and good people.

My parents came to visit me this weekend which is always good. I think me being in college is harder on them than it is me. We watched the "Quantum of Solace" which i thought was awesome.

As this semester is coming to a close (4 weeks-ish) there is going to be more work and studying. But it will be great to be able to get back to the ol' Norquay hole to see my friends and family.

"On my little island of blessing in this vast ocean of pain, my 'thank you' always has the blues."

I just had Thanksgiving back home in Norquay. Good times were had. Lots of food, family and friends. It was good just to relax and do the things i used to. Share some fellowship at my church, eat at the Whistle Stop and just hang out with friends.
I always hate not doing my work ahead of time, i had a book to read and a 6 page paper on this book due this morning (Tuesday). Somehow, the saying "Git r'Done" kept me motivated until i finished the paper at about 3:00 a.m this morning. Good times.
I was going to try and incorporate that quote in my title into this whole blog, but i will save that for another day. Although, it is a sweet quote.

Today is the day......

Well, as i sit here drinking a kick ass cup of coffee, i contemplate the thought of today being the day i do laundry. It is risky business when i do laundry, anything can happen.

A Lucky Man....

Two or three days a week at prov, they have a chapel session. Each unique and different in their own ways. Today, we just sang an old hymn, had some prof's, r.a's, and just normal students tell a bit about themselves, their transition into Prov, and some things which they still struggle with. There was one girl who shared who is in her fourth year here. She spoke of how her faith has never really been her own, that it was either her friends, her church's, or her parents. She also struggled with not having a church which she could not call her own.

I consider myself a very blessed man to have a faith of my own, a great church family, and also great friendships here at Prov. A lucky man indeed.

Feeling Like Fall

With each day it gets closer to Monday, which of course is my moving day, it feels more and more like fall. The blackbirds have started to gather, the trout fishing has finally started getting better once again, and the nights have become calm and cool.

My dad and I Recently biked down this closed back road in Duck Mountain provincial park in Manitoba to find the "Pine River" to go trout fishing. As we started off down this back road, it was all down hill, pretty much the whole way. We caught lots of fish, probably close to 20 or so each. It was great to have a perfect day like that before i leave with my dad, just to be out in Gods creation. But considering it was all down hill on the way there, it was all up hill on the way back, it was rickdiculous.

So pray for me as i start packing my life into a car this week......

New Job....

For the last two weeks or so, i have been working part time at the local "grocery mart." Which is actually called "Robinson's Family Foods." Its not a bad gig, i work in the butchering/meat department, so theres lots of blood, guts and such. I ground up like 400 lb's of moose meat, it was stellar. I certainly have a different outlook on what the food i eat goes through.....

Tomorrow our youth group will be going camping at the Blue Lakes in Manitoba, it should be a good time. I haven't done any camping this year, so this better make up for it.

I seem to be getting more and more excited for Prov as the time gets closer. But with that, comes more nervousness, and the feeling of me, not knowing what im in for. Which is good in a way.

Sorry for this random post. I haven't had enough to say on one of these topics, so there ya go.

Peace
