Tonights Conversations

April 1, 2008

Jennifer and I were driving home today from Belleville after getting new tires for our car and “Sexy Back” came on the radio, which got us talking about strange music from our times.

Jen posed the question of “what songs do you think our kids will make fun of”… you know, how you make fun of some of the stuff that your parents listened to… well what stuff will our kids make fun of??  My first immediate response was “The Thong Song” but that is just one… there are lots… “Hoes in Different Area Codes” popped into my head to… The Macarena… Blue (by Effile 65) and list goes on and on.

We also started talking about some of the fads…. jeans ripped to shreds with flannel boxers under them… fanny packs…. those pull over jackets that you could fold into a pouch and wear around your waste (like a fanny pack) Pogs….Tomogatchi (they are coming back)…  bleached hair…Zubaz pants…everyone loved overalls…goosebump books (and the TV show a little later)… power rangers (the orignal)

So my quest for you this week is to post the songs you think our kids will make fun of and crazy fads that you remember from the 90’s (mainly the early and mid)  … remember the sunglasses.. huge black frames with fluorescent arms.. the fluorescent cameras you use to be able to get at
McDonalds.

Lets here your memories!!

The Time Has Come

April 1, 2008

I’ve spoken to many of you in recent months about how I’m day to day on my feelings about working in Centre Hastings.  I also shared with some of you that while we were out east speaking at churches, I had a few job offers, some that seemed really good, others that seemed.. well ok.  Jennifer and I have been praying for a little over a month now, laying out our fleece (so to speak) on whether any of these jobs seemed to fit us and our call.  God has made things very clear to us that the positions in the Saint John area are where he wants us to be… it was just all a matter of time for us…. the position(s) are perfect, because it gives us both a job, as Jen will take one churches YP position, and I the other churches.. I will make sundays hard, but, it just seems like what we are suppose to do.

I spoke with my director with YFC this morning, and we’ve decided that I will finish in Centre Hastings the end of April, and they will do what they can to find a new worker for the area.  So, family… one month from today we will be sitting at your doorsteps looking for somewhere to stay until we find a suitable/affordable place in the Saint John area.

To all of my friends I’ve made over the past 3 years, I love you all so very much, we are so sorry to spring this on you with such short notice, we will talk more with you all in the days to come.
