an EGGcellent observation...

So as some people know, this summer I quit my Saturday job at Tim Hortons to work for my sister. The egg buisness has been in my family for years, so I've been getting back into the groove of selling eggs again (yes, this does include getting up at 4:30 on Saturday mornings). But I love it. Its a chance for me to hang out with my sister once a week. Em and I laugh alot. We have some good times.

so here...

I came across some funny pictures that made me laugh. They are quite EGGcellent, they are EGGceptional, and they might just make your day EGGstra fine.

When people ask me what I prefer to eat (and since I don't like eggs) I tell them I prefer white, cause that's what I would eat if I ate them.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday 12th David

Love and Miss You

Thought you'd enjoy this picture

(but I guess the Birthday cake in heaven's WAAAAAAY better)

Waiting Here

Still Waiting

Did you ever stop and think about how I feel

Did you ever

Just once

Stop

And realize that you were hurting me

Every time

I waited for you to call

I waited for you to email

I waited for you to turn my way

To return a friendly smile

To say a warm hello

But,

Every time

That I waited

I was left there

Still waiting

We are both waiting for someone

And I’m still waiting

Trust in the LORD with all your heart

I Trust you God.

and lean not on your own understanding;

Your will is far greater than my own. You have a Master plan

in all your ways acknowledge him,

Not my will but Yours be done

and he will make your paths straight.

God, Lead me where you want me to go

Amazed

I don’t really know how long forever is

But that’s how long I’m gonna give my life

Everything I face, it tries to tear me down

No I won’t back away from the sacrifice

I won’t forget what you’re love means to me

You’re always there to light my way

Chorus

When all the lights go down and the world is quiet

No one is around

I wanna be the same man that will serve you then

Like I serve you now

That my convictions never change

O let my need for you remain

As real as the moment I was saved

I will always stand amazed

Sometimes my heart desires such selfish things

When the moment comes help me to trust

Something better that you have for me

If I could just hold on to you enough

I won’t forget what you’re love means to me

You’re always there to light my way

Chorus

You will be my strength when I am weak

When I wanna give in and not turn the other cheek

Let this be the prayer that I speak

That I speak

-- 33 Miles.

Praise God because He's there. Always.

Friends may fail you. Maybe you just wish you get back to someone that has hurt you so deep. You may hate school to no end. You may wish for the past. You may be scared for the future. You let stupid things get in between you and God.

I'm amazed. He's there forever.

The Lord is my shepherd;

I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows;

he leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths,

bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid,

for you are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff

protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me

in the presence of my enemies.

You honor me by anointing my head with oil.

My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me

all the days of my life,

and I will live in the house of the Lord

forever.

I understood the one part of Psalm 23 for the first time this week.

God Leads us.

But His love also follows/Pursues us wherever we go.

AMAZING.

really.

Rewind before the Surprise....

Have you ever had someone have a secret

but then you really want to know that secret

and then they tell you

and you wish they had kept it a surprise

O well.

The Web vs. The Spider

So today I began my day with some hanging of the laundry. As I hung several articals of clothing, even carefully arranging into color on the line, a spider began to crawl onto my hand. This spider was no small spider. In fact if it had had a chance to make it farthur onto my finger, it would have been larger than my fingerprint, which in my opinion is no small spider. I can live with spiders that hide themselves ALL the time so that I never have to see them, or even if there are spiders that I have to squint to see them because of their tininess, I can live with those spiders. But the spiders I have been seeing quite lately around my house are not my cup of tea. I have been seeing them way too much of them and their size is alarming to me.

But their webs are what intrigue me. The ugliest, most massive Canadian spiders I have ever seen (I say Canadian because in Belize I held a tarantula under careful supervision of course) make interesting and beautiful webs. I used to watch the movie 'Charlotte's Web' as a kid and the spider, Charlotte, writes messages in the web to save the pig, Wibur's life. Still, its not the Spider that impresses me its the webs.

Once I saw trailings of a spider connecting a bush to the roof of my house and for a split second got excited that a spider was considering making an incredible massive web, to hang from the roof to the plant. After that split second of hoping and excitement, I realized that that probably was not the case and that the spider was simply travelling from the roof to the plant or the plant to the roof.

The other day I saw a spider in its web. First it must have caught the insect and there it sat eating it. The web not only provides a sweet hangout, it also has the tricky stickness (hehe that rhymes) to trap flying insects. Pretty smart stuff if you ask me.

But unfortunately this spider lost its life, because it snuck up on me and scare the heebie jeebies out of me. As well as sneaking up on me, I'm also okay with killing a few spiders around here so I don't have to see them as often.

In the competition between the Web and the Spider (Web vs. Spider) the Web wins by far.
