off to gp


well it is not really far, or that exciting, but it is different, so it helps take the monotony out of a weekend. friday after school, me and some friends are heading over to grande prairie to party it up for the night, and do some shopping on saturday.. sure those of you in edmonton right now are like 'you are chosing grande prairie', but hey, it is something different than high prairie and it is a lot bigger, so i am sure we will have a great ole' time. it also helps to make the weekend feel longer, and not just like you sat at home all day and watched tv or slept (not that i really do either of those things), but anyways. i am rambling now. road trips are fun, and i am sure we'll have many great stories to tell.. anyone have any gooders to share?

here comes the sun...?

i am not sure about anyone else, but i am about ready for some sun.. blue skies, sun shining warm on my face, cool green grass between my toes, soft wind through my hair, sounds of birds singing sweetly in the distance.. i could go on. either way, i am tired of this snow that doesnt seem to want to stop, and the mess everywhere.. it is all too.. brown. i am ready for some color.. blue.. green.. yellow, and the only brown i want to see is maybe some color on this pasty, wintery skin of mine haha. i can't believe that it is almost may, this year has flown by, but it doesn't help that it doesn't SEEM like may, cause well, it is +2 right now... i am ready for.. for lack of a better expression... a ray of hope. and i hope that ray comes in the form of a ray of sunlight and +20 :)

happy easter

i just wanted to say happy Easter to everyone! and as you are chomping on your chocolate, and humming 'here comes peter cottontail', bring to mind the real meaning of Easter. this consumerism has really taken away from all that these holidays really are, and are suppose to be about. so before you pick up another of those delicious mini eggs whisper a prayer of thanks for the sacrifice Jesus made for you.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. isaiah 53: 3-5
