Hi Everyone!Just in case anyone out there is still reading the Thursday Group blog - I thought I would update! Officially, the Thursday Group is on hiatus now - we met Thursday nights for a long time, and then we changed it to Mondays because Jamie and Em (the hosts) had a different college schedule. And alas, now Mondays don't work anymore either. So we've taken to having get togethers every so

I had the most fabulous visit with my Grandma Marks today. She is 80 years old and has much wisdom. She has seen a lot in her life and still keeps serving God. I was totally burned out from many days of family get togethers, and seeing friends and out of town relatives. I was driving home feeling very heavy - think it had something to do with the types of conversations held with the people I

Hi guys, Well, it was an awesome group last night. Good times of food and fellowship. Lots of questions and discussions on various issues. And much needed prayer for a few in the group. Jamie said it great - one week you're on top of the world and the next you want to jump off a bridge. It's part of life. Fortunately, when there are those who are feeling down in the group there are others to

SpHi guys, A really cool Christian radio station comes out of Seattle. It's called Spirit 105.3. Funny, I can't get the station on the radio - but it comes in the computer just fine. Had a great day today - went to the Abbotsford Potter's House - the couple that was sent out to plant a church got a building and had their first service on Sunday - so it was cool to go and support them in their new

What a fabulous day! Me and Jen and Jamie and Chris went to these really cool caves down Chilliwack Lake Rd. There was one we climbed around in that you had to first climb up a rope and then slither through tunnels for about 10 minutes before coming out the top of the mountain. Kinda like Indiana Jones stuff. More importantly it was a good time of fellowship. It is good to hang with other

Hi guys, Well, I finally updated myself to the 21st century and got the internet. It's more for work search than anything. You may think it sounds crazy but it was really stressing me out. Should I get the internet - or should I not? I have a paranoia of viruses. Anyway, at first I ordered cable & internet through Shaw - then I cancelled it and got ADSL through Telus. I'm kinda anti-television -

As for me, you can pray that God reveals His plan for my role in the Church that i am goign to be attending..

Hello !! So. I started packing last night, all my camping gear and my warmest clothes 'cause for my job I will be camping teh whole 4+ months. I had one huge hockey bag, and it was filled only half, and didn't even have my heaviest planting equipment in it yet, I couldn't carry it much more than 10 ft. Then my Brother made me laugh, well, I fell down, on the bag, b/c it wa sso heavy...I need to

I have so much i want to write at the moment, but am short on time. I kinda wanted to do some clarifying for those who were at group last nite. Pill-popping. Hmm. Ok, lets get this straightened out. When i was jr. high, i would take a ton of Tylonel, or Advil, or whatever was in my house, or whatever my friends would give me. That was in JR.HIGH. I now only take pills once a month (usually anyway

Hi guys, I know I haven't been coming to group much - so I'd thought I'd write y'all a line! Just got back from Tennessee - I went down for Easter to visit my mom. We went to her church for Easter Sunday- and man it was cool! Very Pentecostal - except I had to adjust my singing. They sang "Because He Lives" but they pronounce it beeeeeeecaaaaaauuuseee heeeeeee liiiiiiiives - picture a Southern

Answer to Prayer: Wow, the power of prayer. I was freakin out yesterday 'cause it is extremely difficult to find a job where I want(in BC/AB) and not have to go there for the interview, plus rent is ridiculous and all that stuff, plus I am freakin out about living at home.

I'm not sure if all of you heard about the plan for the passion yet or if em called you so I thought I would post the quick itinerary here. The 7:00 show is all sold out so the only other option for us is the 10:00 show. We are all going to hook up at my place at 7:30 or 8:00 and be on the road before 8:30. We are hoping to get to Silvercity in mission by 9:00 so that we can make sure we get

I am going to add some pictures to the site and I will also be changing the colours (I'm not a huge orange fan). You have to admit, this is way better than a page with a whole bunch of dead image links and no colour at all!

I know that this is kinda cheesy, but it made me laugh, and i think that we could all use some cheese in our life: Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark... One: Don't miss the boat. Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat. Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Four: Stay fit.

Hi guys, Went to a cool bible study last night with my regular church folks. It has been a 3 part series. The first was the nature of the devil, the second was the divinity of Christ, and the third (last night) was the humanity of Christ. Anyway, really interesting stuff - cuz sometimes I go through this where I believe in God - but I wonder if Christ and God are one. Then it goes away, and I'm

Well, today was a much better day than Monday {a wretched, awful day}. It was kind of a weird day too....i only worked for 3.5hrs, went to school, went for coffee with Rigel, and had prayer with Wes & Mary-Jane. School seems to be getting better; I'm beginning to like my teacher more and more and i have no problems reading the text book (which is a miracle in its self). Sociology is kinda strange

This was extremely intense for me, for many reasons much of which are

Ok so my last post did not seem to have showed up.... yet. I wonder where it went? Well here is the jist of it. Em hang in. I'm praying for you. I feel like hanging out tonight with some people. I wanna learn or teach or debate or something. So if anyone feels like doing any of that or just hanging out give me a call. My mind has all this stuff running through it and I wanna share a bit.

Hey Everyone... Just wanted to ask for some prayer. I haven't been feeling very good the last few days and right now especially I am feeling pretty down emotionally. I don't really have too much more to say than that. Just keep me in mind. Thanks. See you all on Thursday.

Sorry for not being able to have group last night guys. I was just a mess!! I've been feeling super worn out and sick for the last few days and I just couldn't get things together.... I guess I just needed a break! So I'm really sorry! I'm feeling much better today so maybe Em and I will throw something together for one night this weekend. Maybe tonight or tomorrow... I'll ask and give

Where is you all??? Is anybody posting here anymore? I realized today that God is on the move. Where He takes me I don't know. Do I fear Him enough to Trust Him? Weird questions from my mind, but I await His answer. Anyway, gotta get back to work. God bless, Peace Out.

Hey Jen, just wondering how school is going. Is it tough being back again after Christmas? What did your school counselor say about your assignments? Give me a call if you need a ride in the morning ok? There's no way I would walk in this -10 weather!

Well, I get to be the first one to blog here in 2004, congrats to me.........;-) I spent New Years mostly alone. Although I sent emails back and forth with my wife and chatted a bit online......15min or so. Emails weren't fun, and chat was pretty tame. If you ask I'll share. Needless to say, I didn't bring in the new year smilin'. Got to talk to my oldest daughter today, she's doing so well,

Today is day 1 of a 3 day fast with my church. It's a nationwide fellowhip fast for the people of the Potter's House. Six months ago, I did one as well - my very first "spiritual fast" if you will. Sure, I had fasted before for dietary purposes when I was a teen etc., but never fasted for God. They say sometimes fasting will produce great revelations - other times not. The first fast back in July

Jamie and I can't do group on Thursday this week, and we miss everyone so much that we decided to get together tomorrow night at 7:00. Bring all your games and some junk food and pop and stuff and we'll hang out. Maybe we'll go out somewhere, maybe we'll play games. Whatever. Let everyone know. Invite whoever you want. Let me know if you're coming by tomorrow afternoon if possible. Thanks. See

Hey so I really hate that I always post when I'm not doing great . I really don't want to just close of from you guys. I love you all alot. Thank you so much for being there for me all the time. So yeah as my title says I am not in a good place. I am having the most insane thoughts. I can't handle them. I can't handle anything right at the moment. I don't know how to express stuff in a good way

Well. This may be the only way to get the word out. I am really blessed to be part of this group. And I hope God's plan is for it to stick together for a long while. Until He is ready to send each of us "out" to His continued plan. But what I really want to say right now is. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Sorry Chaundra. I've been busy and haven't gotten a chance to talk to Lynn at Chilies. I know that E. Yong is hiring. I used to work there and if you walk in there with a resume I pretty much guarantee they'll hire you. Try that. Not great, but a start in the waitressing business. Chilies would be better, but Lynn is way more high stress. You're choice. I'll give Lynn a call tomorrow (not open

You know what's coming... I cried in this one. It was such an intense movie. I'm still digesting it. It was the most powerful movie I have ever seen!!

Qu QU QU!!!!! (Sorry Ol' Dukes of Hazard Reference) Just found out this morning. I got a 75 cent raise at work. Wow...out of nowhere. And it was supposed to go through on the 23rd of Nov. So, not this check (today) but next I will have 11 even per hours, and somewhere between next check and the next I get back paid.........I think. it's the rumour anyway. Keep praying, things can change. Peace

I feel wrecked today. Saw the ROTK flic with some others from our little home church. Thanks guys and gals, I appreciated the company. The movie really affected my sensibility. I was saddened by the state I am in, because I want to be more than I am. I want to be whole. Knowing who I am, and what I am to do. I miss my wife........she won't even talk to me about us..... I miss my little girl...

Just a note. A friend of mine just died tonight in Vancouver. We weren't close, but close friends of mine lived with him. A trooper and a dear heart, he always gave more than he got. My heart cries for those he leaves behind. Ray Eagle was an awesome man who even when down was never out. God bless you Ray, dance with Jesus. Peace Out.

Pain is universal. It strikes us all. Yet nothing compares to what happens when it's someone we admire. My faith has been questioned. I feel hurt because the man is someone I both have admired as a mentor, and loved like a dad. He has basis.

i got into a fight with a friend today who happens to be homeosexual, it was about if he is right in being gay. now i didnt mean anything offensive by what i said, but it came up beause there is a guy in our school who wrote a grad quote that said "gays and lesibians are the wheels of life" and he wasnt allowed to put that in there and so i stated my believes that i dont agree wiht homosexuality

Keep praying too for me and my family, that God would create a new sense of awareness between my wife and I and the true heart of our "issues". Bless you all. Peace Out.

Here's some practical things we talked about last night: 1. Pray for Drew - he needs a trailer for his business 2. Remember to bring your money next week for the Christmas dinner the following week. This is going to be a casual group. Invite anyone who has been wanting to check it out. 3. Are we going to get some money together to buy that family a Christmas gift? Pray about what we should do

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm looking forward to seeing you all tonight. It seems like some of us had pretty bad weeks. It will be good to just get together and talk. We are having a turkey dinner in two weeks (on the 18th) at group. I'm looking forward to that. If you could start thinking about that and maybe two people could come over an hour or two early to help out? That would

Yesterday I found out a friend of mine wasent doing so great. I found out that she wanted to commit suicide, and that she was nowhere to be found. Well she was found today.

I was watching Almighty Bruce last night........some might say "sacriligious" after all it is Jim Carey. But I paid attention to the story.....by the end I was weeping....so much how I feel was in there..not that I want God's job mind you, but the feeling of nothing going right.....and then realizing what's important to you and what people mean to you. I really began to weep. I went outside

Hey guys. As the title says i'm feeling kinda down. Well quite upset actually. I thought I would share because this seems to be the fastest and easiest way to let everyone know. My house seems to be having alot of conflict again. It is really taking a drain on me. I've been up since 5 this morning and I barley got a wink of sleep last night. I tried to go to bed early,(6pm) but at 9 my parents

Hey guys.... Rigel is taking his road test this afternoon so we should pray that he makes it through and passes. I don't think he believes he'll pass, but it would still be really cool if he did. Actually wait... maybe it wouldn't... That would mean that he did it in one try and it took me two... cancel that.... no prayer for rigel!!! :)

Seems the dark times are going around. This week, I've battled my depression, fought back fear and stayed steady on the edge of giving it all up. The only thing that seems to keep me here...on this plane, is the people in my life. All of them, those near and far, those that I know love me, and those that I'm not sure about anymore. I just pray, Father, where is my source? Why have you gone so

Hey guys I meant to post earlier but haven't gotten a chance til now. Just wanted to let you know that Jen called a couple of days ago and asked if we could pray for her because she was having a bad week so I thought I'd let everyone here know and we can all keep her in our prayers. Blessings,

Just a hello, and thanks Jamie for putting this up. It's awesome, and I hope we all use it. On the way home from work today, I was singing "Beautiful" from the Vineyard UK Beautiful CD...............I really felt a strong sense of His presence, and I am so thankful. I was completely alone, I'd had a fairly rough day, and there He was, just like He promised. Awesome really. God bless you all,
