Just can't catch a break, story of my life.

So here we are kids. I have been talking to this totally awesome girl from GP. She is funny, feisty, ( I apologize in advance for the cheesy alliteration that is about to take place, it just sorta happened) faith filled, fun, End even though she is sorta a freak it's in a good way. It really awesome talking with her, she is super real and fun at the same time. But Like I said she is in GP. Sure God has a sense of humor it just seems to be a little cruel right now. The GP thing is not a deal breaker by any means it just makes things kinda hard… and slow. Slow is probably a good thing takes time to get to know someone and the more talkin’ you do the better, so they say anyway. But there is only so much you can get to know on the phone. Does she have crazy road rage? What is it like to just chill out and not necessarily have to talk all night? We did have coffee and it was pretty sweet. And I did find out she handles very embarrassing situations with grace. It s just frustrating is all. I know, I know, "have patience" bla bla bla!!! Patience is for sissies!! I want some action… ok not "action" so get your minds out of the gutter already. Anyway it’s midnight or almost anyway, and it’s been a long day I’m gona go find sleep. As my friends TFK would put it "Peace kid, hope you learn!"

Fantastic!!!

Sorry for the late update guys, and huge thanks to everyone who prayed. Speaking at the school was awesome! It was a Christian school in Red Deer so I was speaking for chapel. Coming into he school was pretty sweet. It had the big city school yard deal going on, all cement with clusters of kids here and there some playing basket ball, some jumping rope, the tough kids off to the corner smoking with a stern teacher walking towards them, it was pretty funny. I was nervous like crazy. I felt God was leading me to talk about how the Easter Story applies to our lives everyday not just at Easter. So I brought out the Hermit Crabs (props to Sarah). They were a huge hit, the kids loved them. I talked about how hermit crabs bury themselves for a few days, shed their old skin and come up all shiny and pink. Related that to Jesus Obviously, then told them how he does the same for them, by taking their old skin (sin) away and giving them now lives in him. I had a picture of Johnny and said how Jesus is like our best friend and knows us better than any one and even though he knows all the evil thoughts in our head he loves us none the less and offers us that forgiveness. The final thing was Jenga I related how putting your trust in something other than Jesus is makes your life unstable because only Jesus can know you completely and offer complete love and forgiveness. Other things will let you down and allow for chunks to be removed from your heart and sense of self until you have a precariously tipsy tower that can crumble easily. Because He knows us so well and assured us of love and forgiveness He can help us to hold that tower strong if we put all our trust in Him. Anyway that is a lame summary, obviously it was the Holy Spirit speaking because it went awesome the kids were attentive I had a few kids come up and talk afterwards it was awesome. The younger kids were in love with the Crabs and I visited a couple classes afterward to let them hold them and all that kind a thing. It was so great. Praise be to God. Thanks for praying guys! I am off to our bottle-drive now, tons o’ fun! Actually it is pretty fun the kids are great to hang with we always have a good time. So anyway till next time kids!
<><

Maybe pray again?

Pray for me please guys, I am speaking at a school in Red Deer today (Thursday) at 9:00AM. I just found out that there are going to be like six hundred kids there (Thats alot of kids!). Anyway pray that I speak Jesus message well and that I do not choke on my words, or stutter lots, but that the kids hear about how much He loves them and what that means in their lives. Thanks yo! Peace

He Has Risen Indeed!!!

Easter was good, but I am somewhat happy it is over. Like Christmas it just gets too busy around here, we get so preoccupied with programming that it is hard to take time to kick back and reflect. Marina said that in Mongolia Easter is just another day, no one really pays attention. In some ways that would be nice you know, to have no hype and circumstance. I really do love the Good Friday service and Easter Sunday service. My favorite thing to do all year is to greet people with "He has risen indeed!" What can I say I am kinda a Lutheran dork. Anyway the weekend turned out fine. The youth put on Easter Sunday breakfast for the church. Just a continental deal, lots of fruit, buns, colored eggs and such. I know it doesn’t sound like it but that was a lot of work. Some ladies on Sunday were asking us if we were cooking pancakes and such. That would have been a gong show, doable for sure, but what a mess.
Sunday afternoon the Dolsky Clan got together at Granny’s. Good times! It was a little weird at first seems like that side of the family doesn’t really know how to talk to each other. But after supper the coffee and cards came out and we had a grand ol’ time. That’s Dolskys for you; get our bellies full, give us some caffeine and set us around a card table we’ll have a good time with anybody.
I should really get back to work (yes I am working on a Monday, I am not pleased with myself either). I am speaking at a Christian elementary school on Wednesday. I have nothing prepared, but I am feeling led to talk about Who we are in Jesus. How are you supposed to make that applicable and still interesting to young kids? I really just need to sit down and get into it but just can’t seem to get the groove on you know. Maybe I just need to come back tonight at midnight and do it the old fashioned way as an all-nighter. We’ll see how it goes. Anyway kids, that’s me for now. Take it easy.
Peace

The end of a busy week.

I am taking a break from work now. Hopefully anyway, there are a few loose ends to tie up from the weekend and more things to get done are popping up all the time but I will do my best to stay away from the church and other work related areas for a day or so anyway.
I prepared the message for church today and I think went really well. I was actually rather calm about the whole thing, and because I tried to make it as conversational as possible (as opposed to delivering the doctrinal dissertation that can sometimes crop up during the preliminary preparation times) I was not too worried about making sure I got all the big words out right.
I was visiting my brother Dave tonight who is in the middle of preparing a big paper on blessings and curses and prosperity and such for a seminary Old Testament class. It was pretty intense. Sometimes I really feel inadequate in a Pastor role because I do not have a lot of book learning so if I were to ever write a paper like that I would probably embarrass myself. I do not even know what APA format means. I feel like if I am going to be interpreting scripture and helping people to see and hear God I should really have a more refined knowledge of His book. But at the same time I know that God has lead me into this ministry for a reason, and that he is going to use my talents, personality quirks, and different experiences to speak his word effectively. I can get hung up on formal titles and the want for impressive papers on the wall but God usually uses heart knowledge, humble words, and a willing spirit, just as effectively whether the vessel has book learning or not. I guess I just have to trust in His plan and forget my pride.
The rest of the service was awesome. The choir came in with the Sunday school waving the palm branches and singing, it was pretty cool. The kids were definitely more concerned about whacking each other and swinging the palms as violently as possible than with making sure they were singing the right song, which definitely helped us from taking ourselves too seriously, but it was still a very powerful time of worship. My favorite part was that I was sitting beside a two year old who is very enamored with his new ability to make his voice heard whether he is actually speaking words or not, and he was very enthusiastic about "singing" along. I probably made as much sense as he did since I was laughing more than I was singing but between to the two of us we definitely made a joyful noise to the Lord.
Palm Sunday starts off my three most favorite services of the year with Good Friday and Easter Sunday to follow. I just love the range of emotion and brutal honesty that always seems to come from these services. I think a lot of the year we try and make sure we "have things right" but this time of year we are brought face to face with why we have church at all.
I think tomorrow I will go and try to find some fun trails to wander around in. Apparently there is something like Saskatoon Island (a cool park with lots of trails through the bush, for all those non-GP residents) somewhere around here, though I think the average Ponoka resident has a different idea of what "bush" is than I do, even if Saskatoon Island is not exactly extreme bush to begin with.
Oh yeah! Battle of the bands went awesome. God really did some cool stuff. Friday was a bit of a crazy stress ball. But we got all the volunteers to pull it off nicely and with as little gong show as possible. Tons of kids showed up, we sold just about every last ticket. The Battle bands were really amazing it was hard to pick a winner. Steriotrap (the headline band) was awesome, even if they did not show up until half an hour before the event only adding to the pre-game stress attack. All in all it was way beyond a successful event God is awesome!
Take it easy guys.
<><

Please pray

We (collective youth people in Ponoka) are putting on a battle of the bands. Everything is going swell but we really need to get a lot of kids coming out tonight. So please pray for a great show, that everyone would have a blast, that kids would be reached and that all the little details just fall into place. This is not an evangelism night per say, but everything we do we do to the glory of God and we are hoping to open some doors. Doors open (not the type of doors I was just talking about) at six thirty concert at seven thirty hope to be done around midnight. Right now I am just freaking out a little but it is all good!
<><

Update...

Well I’m a slacker, Get used to it! So what’s new? I met a pretty cool girl. She’s a friend of a friend which is sometimes weird but for the most part no big deal. The thing is she lives in Grande Prairie, a fine town no doubt, but kinda a jaunt to drive. One of these people who gives a lot of information about themselves that some people may see as too much but it sure cracks me up. So that’s a bit of an adventure.
I also got three new hermit crabs from my sister for my birthday. Those guys are loads of fun! It always concerns me though being in charge of living creatures. I know as a youth leader I should really be used to that, and crabs should really be no big deal. But I really do not hold the balance of life or death for most of my kids which considering the circumstances is probably a good thing.
My job is still great! We have a ton of events coming up the most pressing is a Battle of the bands we are holding this Friday. We are hoping for three hundred kids but ticket sales are not going overly fantastic so we are praying for a ton of kids to buy tickets at the door Friday night. We have faith but it is still a little stressful. Not to mention we are still short on volunteers so if anyone is going to be around Ponoka Friday night and wants to lend a hand give us a shout hey.
We are also planning dry grad for the comp here as well. It’s somewhat unfortunate that if falls to the youth workers to do this but such is life I suppose. I take great pride in the fact I think we are probably the only church in Ponoka that really has no problem with alcohol for the most part (there may be one or two others I’m not entirely sure). Yet safe grad seems quite ridicules. I mean in GP it was bad enough that they shipped us off to some field to get plastered its amazing that no one drinks themselves to death. But in Ponoka they actually provide the alcohol then put no limit on it, it’s absolutely crazy! But anyway Dry Grad looks fantastic, going with a Casino theme this year. There will be games and activities coming out the wazzoo it should be fantastic.
Anyway that’s it for now I know it is not much of an update but I am tired I will write more latter.
Peace kids!

Dummy me

I read this this morning. I thought it was funny.
"The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly... Christian scholarship is the churches prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh priceless scholarship what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes it is even dreadful to be alone with the New Testament."
Soren Kierkegaard; "Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kirkegaard"
Of course by posting this I realize I become the biggest hypocrite. I seem to imply that I do understand the words of the New Testament in their entirety, which I don’t, nor do I believe I ever could, and then I also seem to claim that I adhere to them, which I most obviously fall painfully short of. But I am reading this book "Irresistible Revolutionary" Shane Claiborn which is where I got the quote from in the first place (I know I did not notarize my quote properly or whatever you are supposed to do, Oh well). It’s not a new message it is actually pretty old. He talks about… well ok I am only maybe a fifth of the way through it so I’m not entirely sure what his actual message is, I’m not sure he even has one. But he tells lots of stories about really getting down and dirty to show love to other people. He talks about sleeping with the homeless on the street or in abandon church buildings. He went to Calcutta and worked with Mother Teresa and the Sisters Of Mercy, hung out with Lepers and generally did stuff most of us think is nice but would never actually do ourselves. He describes this stuff in the light of his own search for authentic Christianity not as a means of making us that don’t feel guilty. I don’t think anyone I or anyone I really know is disingenuous about their faith nor do most of them believe in a faith without works. But I have been a Chritian my whole life and I am still always searching for, and am at the same time incredibly fearful of, and shy away from, a faith that really sets me on fire. I know all of my excuses for not doing this stuff, safety, finical, lack of opportunity/experience which are all rubbish. And I realize dreaming about this stuff because you read it in a book is also very foolish. I guess I am just struggling to understand why I idealize these things and have no gonads to move on them. Its frustrating really, I feel like a fraud teaching kids discipleship when I really don’t follow the path that Jesus walked myself. I know a lot about the path, I admire it, I teach about it, but I don’t walk it, then I thank God for his grace and keep on dreaming. This sucks. And what does it help to write about it? I don’t know. It just makes me feel like an even bigger dummy.

Happens every time

So funny thing; In my previous post "Mrs. Right" I told you guys about this internet dating service I signed up on. It still feels kinda lame to say "Internet dating" but I’m getting over it. So turns out I get matched up with this girl from Grande Prairie, then as if that were not a coincidence enough she happens to be friends with one of my good friends totally bizarre. Anyway so now I am hooked I have been learning about this girl slowly though this "guided communication" that they have. First it was answer five multiple-choice questions about yourself (like you can really get to know someone through multiple choice). Then we sent each other these ten must have’s and can’t stand’s. Ten things that someone you would consider dating must have or do, and ten things that if they do they are on the outs. A little more personal I guess but it still seems a little clinical. Now we are exchanging short answer questions, three questions that we actually made up ourselves and can give answers back in our own words. Now all this seems a little weird to me still but this girl seems pretty cool so I am totally curious. I just get hooked on these things so easily oh well maybe this will be one of those times that it turns out to be a really good thing we’ll just have to see.
Oh yeah as for me thinking this profile did not really suit me so well; I sent it off to a few people who know me pretty good and they all said that it was pretty accurate. Goes to show what I know, even about myself. Anyway guys take it easy.

Confirmation of Madness...

My confirmation class is still driving me nuts. Half the class is there that really want to be there and enjoy learning about discipleship and such even if they do tend to give me pretty pat answers. The other half decidedly does not want to be there and are generally jerks. Not bad people, I don’t dislike them, actually I find them quite entertaining, but when you are talking about what it means to be Christian to people who decidedly do not want to be Christians it makes it a little rough. At first I told them that if they did not want to be there they should not be there. But then I changed my mind and said even if they do not subscribe to what it is that the church believes or to what I am teaching it is still good to come and learn anyway. "It’s important to know what exactly it is that you are disagreeing with" was how I put it… or I hope I put it that way anyway. But I maintained that if by the end of the year they still disagreed, it’s probably best that they do not get confirmed. I said I would be happy to talk to any parents that have a problem with that. The funny thing is that any parents that would have a problem with that hardly come to church if at all and are not passionate about it enough to talk to me about it but will talk about it behind my back maybe even to the council. Well at least this should get rid of some boredom for the next little bit. Peace guys.

Happy Happy Birthday To Me!!!!

Guess what? I am now officially 25. I’m not sure if I was ever unofficially 25 but now I do not need to worry about that because here I am. The thing I loved most about my birthday this year was that a lot of people remembered and called and such and generally just gave me lots-a-love. Made me all warm and fuzzy inside it was great. I don’t like to think of myself as someone who needs attention but apparently I am, to some degree at least. The ironic part was that I was in Jasper so I was not able to receive any of those calls but they were much appreciated none the less. Another really cool thing was I got pancakes and Ice cream. I don’t normally like pancakes but the people I was on the ski trip with made me some, and then put this awesome ice cream on top. I tells ya it was heavenly, it was like this cookie dough ice cream with brownie chunks in it, absolutely amazing. Then with the warm pancakes I could have just died. This is the second year in a row I got breakfast for my birthday I like this tradition. Breakfast is defiantly way up there for my favorite way to spend my time. Anyway thanks to all you that remembered and if you are one of those that didn’t I am not offended because I probably forgot yours too, sorry. Peace guys

Mrs.Right

So I just finished an online dating survey. I don’t know why I filled it out. Just seemed like the thing to do at the time. I was looking through the church e-mail and the secretary had apparently filled one out for her daughter, so she was getting some responses. I went to check it out and ended up doing the quiz more out of curiosity than anything. Well now I am apparently a member. I was looking through my profile and it seemed a little off. Not horribly wrong just kinda accentuated the parts about me being very out going and the life of the party and such. Which seemed to me to be a bit of an overstatement. The biggest one was; "You have a natural, outgoing style that some have labeled as the "natural salesperson." You are generally likable, talkative and socially assertive. Your primary intent is convincing or persuading people." Since when was my "primary intent" so convince and persuade. And I do not ever remember being referred to as a "natural salesperson". Oh well maybe Mrs. Right is waiting right around the corner. We shall see.
<><

Been another long while.

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.

Bahh!! Lovebug!!

So I just checked out the blog world and it would seem that many people tend to agree with me that valentines-day is ridicules. Of course that is the blog world, so how many of them are lonely lonely nerds bitter at the world who has passed them by? Well not me I’m just bitter at a world I passed by. (I have no idea what that means).
<><

Crazy Continued!!

So I was listening to Thousand Foot Crutch in my car. There is a line in one of the songs that goes "Can’t understand my chemistry, laugh if that makes me ordinary." So you know how a song or even just one line gets stuck in your head and you even find yourself mumbling under your breath. Well this was me, except I was walking through Supperstore kinda half singing under my breath then, as cued by the lyrics I laughed out loud. This was not under my breath however no this was a good hearty mocking laugh "Ha! Ha! Ha!!!". Scared the crap out of this nice young mother right across the tomatoes from me. So as means of explaining my bizarre behavior I said, "oh sorry. I was just singing along with the song." Like everyone could hear what was going on in my head. In true Ponoka style she gave the polite smile and nodded her head, to her credit she did not run or even back away as if she were scared to have her back to me but carried on her way seemingly non-pulsed. I’m not sure if she was just used to this behavior living in Ponoka surrounded by crazies, or if she realized that once in Ponoka even the non crazies act a little odd, or she simply accepted the fact that there was music in the air and agreed with me that it was a fine time to laugh, as she was herself crazy. Any way you slice, Tim does not come out looking very cool.
Peace kids

Were the trouble began.

Hey hey!!!
Ok so I have got to become more flagrant. My life is seriously missing some good ol’ fashion controversy. I had my six month review today (something I totally forgot about until I just happened to stop by my office in between appointments, by pure luck I was right on time, plus it made me look like I was a busy boy which is a good thing). I am good with personal interaction and people feel they can talk to me, I am firmly rooted in my relationship with Jesus, but I have horrible organization skills and my communication could use some tweaking as well. Wow what a shocker!! Anyone who has known me for five minutes would have come up with these same conclusions. I guess in that circumstance it is good to be predictable, helps from getting blindsided. I just think some things could use some mixing up. Bible study for instance, get some blood pumping, get them to think for a bit instead of just swallowing whatever their told. I know it is kinda just the age for that but still give me a challenge you know.
Anyway maybe I just wanted to use the word flagrant as well who knows. Keep it real.
<><

Breakforth and Multiply!!!!

So Breakforth was fantastic. Not FANTASTIC!!!! But still pretty cool. I got to sit in on all of Peter Wagners sessions on Spiritual Gifts, very cool. If you do not know who Peter Wagner is well you are just missing out. Imagine the dearest old man you can think of fill him with really great knowledge and yes I did say dearest but there is just simply no other way to describe him. I learned a ton. And guess what! My Spiritual Gifts are leadership, teaching, and knowledge, very cool and the greatest part is that they really have nothing to do with me but what God does through me which is even better or like down right amazing. I know it is not really a definitive science or anything but its really cool to get a glimpse into where God is leading me in my life and all that jazz.
The main speakers were really great as well, well most of them anyway, one guy was a little rough to say the least but God did some very cool stuff though his talk anyway. KP Yohansen was one of my favorites. He talked about getting back to the basics in ministry and really focusing on Jesus, a pretty simple message but one you can never hear too much. And I mean the guy is so interesting and fun to listen too kinda like an East Indian Albert Einstein minus the boring math junk. Of corse the worship was super as well Darrel Evans, Tim Hughs, nad of course Kutless (if anyone is asking "cut-what??!!" you just gotta pick up their worship album, very nice) I don’t want to sound like it was all cool just because there were a bunch of big names there but if you have ever heard or seen these guys you know they are all all about Jesus and He is well… beyond amazing!!
And the cool thing is I don’t feel like I just had this mountain top experience that I’m gonna come crashing down from (no matter what this blog sounds like) it was very down to earth, exciting, but very real.
Plus I got'ta hang out with a really great friend of mine Justina and her very cool friend Kim all weekend and that was super too.
Man do I sound like a blubbering idiot or what? But such is life, it was cool.
Take it easy guys

Whats the Point?

I had Bible study last night. I’ve been pretty sick lately so I didn’t really have time to prepare anything, I figured we would watch a couple Christian comedian DVD’s. The first one I will admit was not all that great it wasn’t absolutely horrible but was defiantly lacking. The biggest problem was though that as soon as the kids heard it was a "Christian comedian" they immediately decided it could not possibly be funny "only Adults find stuff like that funny". Unfortunately the opening act did not sway their opinion. The second one though was really funny, it was just a bunch of clips form different comedians and every one cracked me up, and despite their best intentions even elicited a few laughs from the three guys who in particular were against such a variety. The one clip in particular was really hilarious with these three guys on stage doing improve. Everyone was cracking up until on a wide shot one of the kids exclaimed "Hey!! They’re in a church" well then it was just not so funny. They said it was because they just weren’t funny but the kids were laughing before they realized it was in a church but thought it was lame afterwards. I tried to get some sort of discussion going but it would only revert to family guy clips. Maybe it is our fault. Maybe we have ingrained this idea of church that is like oil and water with the rest of life as kids see it. Maybe it is a culture that has waged war against the idea of accountability and an ultimate morality. Perhaps it has chosen the church and God as it’s primary target with such success that even Church kids see it as stuffy and out of date without using their own experience and wisdom to discern the truth. I myself have declared something’s less exciting because it is "churchy". It angers me and frustrates me, that "church" has become synonymous with "boring". Yet this still excites me the name of Christ provokes reactions far from boring. You talk to someone about Jesus and even if they do not heed you or try to shut you out his name still gets a reaction. People get angry, scared, or defensive, or else better yet feel hope and the fire of faith ignited in their hearts, but they do not get bored. Perhaps that was the problem, it was too churchy and not enough Jesus.
But this problem still remains; we allow our preconceived perceptions dictate our opinions before we allow ourselves to experience something for what it is. If it is Churchy it is boring if it is nerdy we can’t enjoy it, if it won’t explode than really what the point. If it rambles on and gets further and further away from any sort of point it must be a blog.

Goob ay ...

Today I am just tuckered right out. On Sunday I "brought the message" which apparently is completely different from doing or giving the sermon, According to pastor Dave anyway, and well Who am I to argue. Then I "brought the message" at Rimoka, the local retirement village and soap opera. And in the evening I brought the message at the community Chapel service at The champion center, sort of a halfway house for men from the psychiatric hospital. Though all of that I must have shook at least five hundred hands, it’s a wonder I even have skin left. Someone or a few of them must have had some sort of virus. Now I feel like I am swimming though a bowl of Jell-O, every movement is labored and every sound I make is missing at least one vowel or consonant and what is coming in my ears is a mix of Swedish Chef Gibberish and really bad jazz music. I knew the risks before going into ministry and I am not looking back now, but I think investing in some good hand sanitizer is in order.
Peace kids

The Little Evil Srawberry

I think Canadian Tire is bad. I know that is not an entirely deep and profound thought but I need to warn anyone who considers taking their car to Canadian Tire not to do it. My car recently decided to die while in the parking lot of a Canadian Tire. I tried to get the thing going myself but to no avail. And in fact actually kinda bunged it up worse that when I started. I had AMA I could have had it towed anywhere but instead figured; "what the hey as long as I am here". Well they did "fix" it they gave me a new fuel pump and it worked for a grand total of two days. This morning I go to start my car and the exact same thing is happening that they had apparently fixed a couple days ago, it won’t start. So they messed it up or never even got the problem in the first place, and still charged me four hundred and fifty bucks. Now I am in Ponoka and the Canadian tire is in Red Deer I am not about to pay someone else to fix what they originally messed up. So to AMA it was and down to Red Deer. Sucks to be me. (Well ok not in the whole grand scheme of things but with this particular issue it is not what I would call pleasant) Anyway I will keep you posted but be warned of the mark of the evil strawberry.
