Childhood memories.

This has got to be one of the wackiest moments from my childhood.

Ahhh, the waiting.

The time passes slow and languid in Curtville these days. The house stares vacantly up the street at the raging hordes pushing and trampling each other in a bid to come in and have a look and, perhaps, make an offer. We even dropped the price in the hopes of adding greater chaos to the drooling masses but so far none have taken the bait.
Friends and family have been a great encouragement in this time. Patience is definitely an easy thing to say but much harder when one has to be a part of it. We feel like a race horse straining to get out of the gate but not being able to. Kinda nutso! There's only so many times a day a guy can cut and trim the lawn.

So today we received a call from the soon to be new Manager of the Swift Current SGI branch informing me that I was scheduled to do the testing required for the position I applied for. Oooh the nerves were just a jumpin' all over the place. Tomorrow night at 7:30pm is when it begins.

This possible job would be an interesting thing if it came to pass. Years ago - like 16 or 17 years - I went to Prince Albert, SK and interviewed for the same position. I was told I would have been hired but there was a freeze on while issues with the union were dealt with. In the two years it took for these issues to be resolved I became a Christian and on the night I decided to attend the Bible School I felt the Lord was calling me to that's when I was informed the hiring freeze was off. Needless to say, I chose Bible School. I find this kinda neat in that all these years later I may be coming back to a job I gave up to go where God was calling me. To quote Darth Vader - "The circle is now complete." Pretty cool if it works out.

For now we must content ourselves with beating back the raging hordes.

Could it be?

The sun has arrived! Yesterday was a gorgeous Sunday here in Curtville. This morning was one of those perfect mornings with the sun waking me up at 6:00am. The brightness in my bedroom was beautiful. I made some coffee and while it was brewing I looked out in the backyard and the birds were chowing down at the feeder and the dew was shining off the lawn. In a moment I will be sitting out there enjoying my coffee and doing some reading.

It's mornings like this that have me longing for the farm. My in-laws have lots of trees and birds and, and, and. It's quiet there and that is what I wish for the most at this particular point in my existence. At this moment in Curtville rush hour is happening. Kids are going to school. Airplanes are taking off and landing. Definitely the exact opposite of the farm. I think it is this place right now that has me appreciating the farm more and more. When we go there is takes a few days for my ears to stop ringing as I am used to all the noise here and there is a steep decline in it there.

That being said here's a tune that aptly reflects my feelings. Enjoy.
