So two things first I am the worst Pastor ever! This guy that I apparently went to school with just came into my office aka. Esquires and we had a good long chat but for the life of me I could not remember who he was his name how I know him or anything (that’s not the bad part that happens tome all the time and I just got used to it I guess). Anyway he swore a lot which is not all that odd for Grande Prairie then he found out I was a pastor. The swearing didn’t slow down any he just apologized every time he did it which was kinda annoying obviously you’re not actually sorry if you keep doing it and either way I’m not really offended so just give it up. Then he started making excuses for why he did not go to church again not really that necessary for my peace of mind anyway we talked about his life and such turns out he is a very hurting young man and very angry at God. But then I just kinda tuned out I was suddenly very concerned with what I was going to be preaching on this Sunday and for a good five minutes was just totally missing form the conversation when I “came too” he was visibly upset and just kinda asked “does that make me a bad person?”. Great! I have no idea! I don’t even know what he just said! So I did the best I could “No dude! Obviously your upset about this so it shows you’re at least conscious of what’s going on. You want my advise? Talk to God about it. He already knows what’s going on anyway so you don’t have to worry about pretending, just be honest and lay it out there. At the very least you will know someone is listening.”
Then I told him to read psalm 22. I really hope that was the Holy Spirit talking through me and not just me talking out my butt. But we’ll see.
The other thing I am the worst blogger ever I don’t know how to make links and such so you should just go to my friend Avey’s blog ( http://agirlcalledgravey.blogspot.com/ ) and check out the video she has posted there it really is freakin’ hilarious. I burst out laughing in the middle of esquires. Scared people half to death around me.
Anyway. Love ya guys

in regards to avey's video, do you mean the panda one? seriously, tim. i posted that same one over a week ago. how come it never made you laugh then?! huh?!
TIM! Thanks for visiting my blog. You made my day. I heard you're tying the knot? Kudos! If I get my marriage certificate can I be the one to marry you two? No? Not funny? Ok!
dude, use firefox. so many more html tools there. such as making links easy. its kinda like blogger for dummies. not that i'm suggesting . . .
O.K. tim - Heather just told me to check your blog - blogging is such the thing to do - anyway - great story pastor tim! I hear you are getting married????? Can we come to the wedding if we bring Jonny and Marina????? Like the whole family????? It's O.K. to say no, we won't get mad! Did you know that Winston died? Thought you would be sad about that!
Of course you can come!!!! I would be over the moon of Jonny and Marina could come! Of course I also understand it can be a little difficult getting them over here but we’re praying. Either way all the Aickens are welcome, even the ones who have been married off. Erika’s family is Mennonite background so small wedding is not even part of the vocabulary. However it is in March so that nocks down the numbers a little so I’m stoked to invite everyone I can think of. Invites probably going out beginning of December hopefully. Keep March 3rd open!
It made me laugh then too i just couild not figure out how to post this so I just gave up, and did it the cheap way.
