I know! I know! I am a horrible person because I have not bloged for like two weeks blah blah blah…
Well I figured I should get on it since I am just sitting here with nothing to do waiting for kids to arrive for our games night, and hey this beats pacing the floor. What a week dude I feel like have been run over by a steam roller and it is not even close to being finished. I won’t bore you with trivial details mostly just because if I put it down on paper (or screen as it may be) it just looks so insignificant and like I didn’t actually do a whole lot and I have really no right to complain. So You will just have to trust me that I was busy… well not so much busy just a lot on my mind and a lot of stress. Ha!! "Stress" I used to laugh at the word now look at me quiver. The thing is I just don’t think I, or ninety percent of people in Canada for that matter, really need to be stressed out at all. We just put ourselves under it to seem like we matter or have important lives. It’s like the more stress we have the more productive we are and therefor the more valuable we are.
I am not trying to belittle anyone’s life, or how they feel by any means. Really what is the worst that would happen if something didn’t go right for me? Maybe a couple disappointed kids, that would kinda stink but I could make it up to them. And even when things do go wrong there is almost always a way to retrieve them and still have a great night.
Say everything goes horribly wrong and our mission trip does not go to Mexico. Now I hardly think that "not going to Mexico" is really going to be the end of the world. I hate to a dramatist but, George in the Middle East who has an American base on one side and on one side and some radical group on the other now he has stress. He has a bad day and his house gets blown up. If he is lucky he and his family will not be in it at the time.
I just think we get so busy with stupid things that we need to take a step back eat pancakes with peanut butter and syrup and have a good strong cup of coffee. I did that this afternoon it was great. The best part was sitting in my office afterwards with the sun shining in the window, feeling full, with the glorious sweetness still lingering on my pallet, now that was great.
Well if any of this makes sense great! If not well looks like you were not missing much
Peace
<><
PS. It is now a quarter after and the kids still have not shown up. Serves me right for trying to do it on a Friday again, I should know better.

Amen Brother, stress is highly overated, I attempt to ignore it whenever possible. You had some great lines in your rant, I might try to incorporate them into something . . . I especially liked the 'George' story.
