The Needs thingy

I did the "Laura needs" on facebook - then afterwards I thought it would be fun to do it as LJ.

So here is "LJ needs" as determined by Google.

1. LJ needs to be taken to the Wood Shed (ooh ooh - I must have been so very very bad!)
2. LJ needs touches, its that simple....
3. LJ needs pix! (to take to scrapbooking camp this weekend?)
4. LJ needs librarians (actually I think I need books, not a librarian)
5. LJ needs our support
6. LJ needs some fluff ( everyone can use some fluff!)
7. LJ needs more lists!! (YUP that is what I need cause I certainly dont have enough!)
8. LJ needs more artistic input (for scrapbooking camp?)
9. LJ needs xpress reviewers (for the artistic input I guess)
10. LJ needs a new frame (for all the stuff I create at scrapbooking camp?)

now that was actually more fun than doing Laura! I say if you havent done this give it a try. In the search bar on google - type "(your name) needs" and see what comes up. Be sure to use the quotation marks. This list was fun!!!

Sunday's Rock!

I started my day off in kind of a strange way -- I was at church, setting up the Easy Worship for the first Service. I had downloaded all the new backgrounds and was starting to set up the program when ..............

I was rudely awoken by Phil saying -- we need to hurry, it's 7:30 and we need to leave now.

That is right I was dreaming - dreaming of what I was going to do this morning. I was quite saddened to learn that we were not there yet.

So up we got, quickly got ready, got Brian up and dressed and off we headed to McDonalds drive thru for breakie. Hit the church right on time and settled in for next 3.5 hours. First service was good- missing some sound for the first part (someone had unplugged something!) Second service went off with out a hitch. The new backgrounds worked out awesome!

Brian spent both services in a ball on the floor, poor kid is barking when he coughs and was feeling pretty miserable! But he is a true trooper and he hung out with us with out complaint.

After the second service we invited Cathie, Gray and Isabelle to our house for sandwiches. Sounded like an easy lunch - Phil and I wanted Chicken Salad on potato buns. Yummmy! So we headed to IGA to get the best buns - they had lots, but now chicken salad or even a deli chicken to cut up for chicken salad. So off to Safeway we went. There we got the chicken salad and a few things for the sick kid!

After lunch we all watched Open Season 2. The DeForges left and the Langs took a nap.

Then it was off to hunt down some fish and chips for dinner (Phil's craving). Not as easy as it sounds, there are not too many fish and chip shops around anymore, and most of them are closed on Sunday. We found some and brought them home to eat while we watched America's Funniest Home Videos - which Brian slept through.

And now - because there is nothing on, Phil and I are watching the Grammy's and Brian is playing Maple Story. He is headed to the bath shortly and then off to bed!

Even with a sick child, we have had a great day, worshipping in the house of the Lord, spending time with family and friends. I think this is what Sunday's are made for.

One Month To Live

We started a new series at Church today - it is called One Month To Live - Thirty days to a no regrets life.

Phil and I started reading the book to day and will continue to read it for the next 30 days. We are hoping to join a Challenge Group that will be running for the next 6 weeks.

It is a Church wide program, from Grade 6 and up. All services and all study groups will be doing the same series.

I am really looking forward to it - I am looking forward to what God has planned for us and learning more about how to live my life as He would have me live it.
