Wow, who is to know when injuries will happen.
After a weekend with games like murder ball, full body contact duck duck goose, tubing down a hill with trees along the trail, and a night game through the bush in the dark, we have no injuries, praise God.
The next day, we are at Pastor's retreat, very low key, witha simple indoor game of giant dutch blitz. muhc less dangerous than how we play it using full gym, and blockers.. They were jsut sliding cards in when they came, a lady slipped on a card, ttwisted her ankle, and was getting a pin surgically installed to repair a break the next mornign.
I don't get it? Maybe it is not to be gotten.

Well, I am thankful.
Thankful not to get stuck even once, though I drove attridge to help a good friend at 5 p.m.
Thankful not to get stranded, though it can mean safety for the night, it never means comfort, or a good sleep.
Thankful not to be invovled in any of the many car accidents both yesterday and today.
(Why today? Have people not realized they need to compensate for the new road reality given to us?)
Thankful most of all to have my family safely in my house last night.
Thankful that my father-in-law has a snow blower I can use, and a step dad who has a truck to deliver it.
Thankful that I live so close to work.
Thankful that my wife made hot chocolate and chicken soup when i came in after 2 hours of snow blowing.
(which, by the way, was still physically tiring, though just not back breaking)
Thankful that crisis allowed for me to show a friend that I am am not of the 'fair weather' varitey of friends.
Thankful that my decision to travel attridge from preston crossing to central, on the wrong side of the road, was a goood decision.
Thankful all reports from my other friends all ended in 'safely home'.
Well, this is getting long, so I will stop, but I am very thankful for all of those things, oh yes, and teh DVD recorder to record the news of this historic day that we had.
Have a good day, if not great, and plese be safe.

What is it about childhood memories at this stage in my life?
I can barely describe to you how powerful some childhood memories have been ove rthe last few months. We are not talking about life altering moments in my childhood, but getting to expereience some of the fun stuff that characterized my time. We always have fun reliving some of this stuff, but recently it has become more than that to me.
some of those things include, but are not limited to a) the re-release of transformers generation 1, which i am very excited about, though it won't change my life, ministry, or family, and b) last night i recorded and watched later on the Biography on the 'Wonder Years'. That show was the one I watched every day after school as a younger boy. I expereienced with Kevin Arnold some of the things he was going through. I gained wisdom from the voice over and it's insights, and sometimes thought in terms of that reflective voice over when looking back on some of my experiences, days. (sorry, dont think I am crazy, lol. Either know for sure that I am or leave it alone.)
So that almost brought me to tears watching key moments in the series relived in the 'Biography.' I have been recording episodes since Christmas on TV Tropolis, but they are now stopping that run too. That doesn't crush me, I will watch what I have when i have time, (maybe summer, or late at night) but for now I wonder why this stuff is grabbing me so? Open to your thoughts.

A day of firsts on the first day of the year.
Yesterday my son and I created our first indoor 'fort' in the basement. Of course he has a play tent, but nothing compares to a blanket strewn over chairs and boxes and other various pieces of furniture, with toys and pillows inside, and a giant stuffed dog guarding the entry way.
Also, yesterday wa shis first live hockey game. He has watched hockey with me on TV, and nearly came unglued when the real players came out on the ice and played. Of course his attention span lasted about teh first 10 mintues of the game. That makes it nice that we were watching form the credit union sky box and he had plenty of room to move and run and watch treehouse tv.
Opposite of firsts is lasts, and the last of my grandma's amazing cinnimon buns is on the counter at our place. Jake enjoys them, but I am wrestling to decide if he is discerning enough to have the last one, or if he would be jjust as happy with one from any bakery.
Happy New Year
