Our Church
Service today focused on Canada Day - we sang all three verses of the national anthem - two in english, one in french.
Today's passage: 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Paul fought, finished, and kept. (v7)
The message got me thinking about what stage I am at with God - am I comfortable and settled? Am I receiving gifts from God? Am I allowing myself to be challenged? Am I serving as I should?
We need to be a member of the team - not an armchair critic, like spectator sports.
The best point of the night was that Elisha spent years serving Elijah - this was before he asked for the double portion of Elijah's blessing. The principle is, you receive a blessing AFTER you serve, not before.
AFter church, we had a party to celebrate Canada Day. Cool.
Tomorrow, I busk at the Forks for the first time. Should be fun!
later....

First Post - so what do I say? Hmmmm...
A quick introduction, perhaps?
Myself, Chris, my wife, Suzanne and our son Nathanael (notice the spelling) live in Winnipeg, MB. We have two wonderful dogs, Mojo (lab and Rottie cross) and Ezra (Greyhound cross) as well as 10 fish that Nathanael is in the process of naming. These fish were his birthday present.... at least, the first four were, of which only one remains. Five is such an early age to learn about death. He now describes them as "flushed", as that is where they went once they expired.
We live in the centre of Winnipeg, near the corner of Broadway and Portage. Our area is a combination of wonderfully kept up homes alongside homes that in reality should be decrared uninhabitable. Ours is somewhere inbetween.
So, what else?
Let's stop there and see what I can post later.
