I cannot believe it's been almost a month since I have updated... so news... I have been nominated to be deacon at church again... I knew it was coming... and had already mentally already decided I would do another term... But I haven't been able to set aside time to seek God's will about the whole matter yet... It feels like I haven't been helping at church as much as I would like... I mean I still do mission fund stuff, website stuff, camp stuff and a little guitar, but it feels like I need to be doing vision casting, fire lighting type stuff... The other big factor is that I was also asked to be the president of the CCCBPA which has much potential but would be alot of work and growing pains... I am a little cautious of my ambitions for the BPA since I originally signed on just to support and be a "young person" pillar until bridges could be made... I was supposed to measure fruit after two years... and there isn't as much fruit as I am used to in the ministries I am involved in, but there is still much good fruit... and then there's the whole thought that I am so willing to do deaconship because it should be easier than chairing the BPA.... aiiii.... 

*sigh*... all I know is that I cannot commit to doing both... I can be on both boards... but cannot chair one... if I chair one, I would have to drop off the other board... it wouldn't be fair to either ministry to split my time like that... not to mention the other ministries I am involved in as well... I also have to remember I am engaged and do need to eventually plan a wedding :P :) ... and renovate my house and still maintain a semblance of a social life... and not neglect my family... aiiii.... oh and still take care my myself in terms of eating and sleeping... it's funny how I thought of that last... no more hospital trips!!! :P :)

It's been 4 years since I was first nominated to be a deacon... I served a 2 year term and dropped off to stagger myself from Clem since you cannot serve more that 4 years in a row... so now would be when he has to quit and I should go back on... at the time I dropped off, it felt like I didn't need to be there... like the work I was there to do was done... and now it sort of feels like I need to be there again... it's weird how everything in my life seems to be starting anew... I have been at SMART Technologies for 6 years now, as of today... and on Friday we are moving into the new headquarters by the university... I'm actually quite excited...  well... that's enough for now... I will try not to wait a whole month before posting again!! :)

One last thing... The CCCBPA Christmas banquet is Sun, Dec 7... [[http://www.philcallaway.ab.ca/aboutphil.htm|Phil Callaway]] will be speaking on "Enriching Life without Money".  Let me know if you want tickets...
