The good stuff

Oh man, the excitement builds by the minute. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, Mark Westman, Dawson Kroeker, Mark Thiessen, and myself are heading to Riding Mountain Provincial Park. What a great way to celebrate Easter...spend some time with God in His creation! I am pumped!

And when I'm pumped, I can get a lot accomplished. Here's what I've done this morning:

Devo's
Grocery shopping
4 loads of laundry
Washed a fair amount of dishes
Hauled out all my camping gear and started packing
Made pizza
Cleaned up the house
Got the car ready for the trip
Cleaned and waterproofed my boots and shoes
Etc.

Did I mention I'm excited? I haven't been to Riding Mountain since Nat and I went on a two week moutanin biking trip 8 years ago. I don't have any pictures from then, but I remember it being a beautiful place to be. We saw so much wildlife too...bears, moose, birds, all sorts of stuff.

The only downside to the trip is I'm gonna miss the Thiessen gathering. I always look forward to those gatherings...


Current Song Playing: Entertaining Angels by Common Children

It's getting late in the evening (and I really don't mind at all)
And I'm grateful one more time
Wish I could freeze this feeling (before the stars burn out and fall)
Photograph this state of mind.....

The world is almost turned now (and I really don't mind at all)
The first glimpse of morning light
Raise my hands to the sky now (watch the stars burn out and fall)
Throw the past out with the night

Love this song...it's gonna be in my head this weekend for sure...
Anywhooos, pizza's done so I gotta run.

Hope you all take some time this weekend to remember what Jesus Christ did for you...sacrified himself to a violent death, and then came back to life three days later to pay a debt we could never pay. They should call this weekend Thanksgiving instead of Easter. What is an easter anyways?
