Good Stuff!!

Ok so this weekend was a gong Show. There was a bit of a shindig for Jonny and Wieners in Calgary. So On Friday I figured I would go down and say hi. Got to Calgary and found Drew. We decided that Calgary Is a hole because its just all Grey and brown and icky, plus the U is not nearly as nice and cool looking’ as the U of A, there are hardly any nice big parks to run around in. Sure everybody is rich (ok not everybody just a more affluent city on a whole) which kinda makes it a little snobbish. I’m sorry to all of you who think Calgary Is the bomb and are from there and live there and such but this is just one (well actually at least two) mans opinion.
Anyway so I hung out with Drew and a couple other guys form High School and it was like I was instantly teleported back seven years. It was crazy same shenanigans same jokes, plying video games, listening to the same music it was just bizarre and one heck of a lot of fun I might add. We did play trivial pursuit and did much better I’m sure than we would have seven years ago.
Saw all the kids on Saturday, Dave And Jen for all of two minutes, hung out with Ana saw her Mom which is always cool. Then chilled with all the old married people in the evening. Actually they are pretty cool it just struck me again that I am like the only single person I know. I should set up my house like Wonko the sane from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. He put the outside inside the house and the inside of the house on the outside, then called the outside of the house the asylum because the whole world has gone potty and I quite agree hence why I am the only single person I know. Anyway watched the Game Edmonton and Calgary. Pete went off as usual. Calagry won which was bad, but such is life.
Then I said bye for the last time to Jonny and Marina. So so sad. I’m really gonna miss those kids.
On the way Home though I got this huge flood of anxiety. I was supposed to do the sermon on Sunday and all weekend I was worried about a particular kid in my youth group. I Was just feeling so guilty for being away and like I wasn’t doing my Job at all. Suddenly I felt this huge wave of peace fall of ver me it was like God was just showing me the amount of Prayer support I had going on so many people at the church were praying for me plus friends and family. And It was like a could feel the love and support of all those prayers at once it was in a word amazing, but one word just does not cover it. I felt so blessed and so unworthy. There are so many people than need and deserve prayers more than I. And I know we are all praying like crazy for Jonny and Wieners and Robin and her Dad. It just struck me as how amazingly powerful our prayers can be. Just a few sentences offered up in love and faith To God and he is as excited as a little kid in a candy store to send those blessings right where they are needed. Multiplied by his perfect goodness and love they are like this bazooka of greatness hitting right where it counts. Wow dude we really do have one amazing God he is just so AWESOME!!! Do I ever Love Him!! He just makes it too easy sometimes you know?
Well anyway God is Good and I got a go. Love you guys, peace and fun
