What a Day!

Sunday, the day of rest right? Wrong...for us in The PORT it is the day of yelling at your neighbor at 7:30 in the morning about how much you think she is a @#%$#^%$#^&%$ but hey make sure the whole neighborhood hears because life isnot as much fun without everyone sharing in it. That was what greeted me knt he morning light right outside my window...sort of a WWF moment brought to you by my neighbor across the street and her girl friends up the road.

At first I thought "oh look who is that walking down the road, she looks so happy, she can't be screaming and oh how nice one of the elders is walking with her. Then she turned around and all @#$%^ jumped out of her mouth (man can she project). Who is she yelling at? Don't know but they must be coming fast because she takes off in a run into her house. Now two very interestingly dressed girls come down the road bellowing on how they were going to get her (I felt now was not the time topoint out that one of them could pull her jeans up but it was becoming a desperate situation). So now poor opa is trying ot convince them to go home as we (the neighborhood) have our noses pressed to the glass. Eventually they go home (probably ran out of air) but lo and behold out comes the original house hider ffrom across the street to say "I'm ready for you, blah, blah,blah" (yup she's a brave one!). Now it is a scene of who will run up the road and who will give chase. Anytime they chased her, she ran down the road yelling "yahoo!" and waving her hands in the air. Whalley has nothing on this raod. Dogs are going nuts and when all is quiet the good old RCMP detachment comes rolling in. Made me just want to say "Praise the Lord Its Sunday!" What a way to bring in the time before church, its bad to say but I felt a lot more holy after that scene. Bad Kim.

The day was not over yet because we had the time change and the pastor was out of town with the worship leaders. I got to church and there was only three of us sitting there before eleven o'clock. Viki (pastor's wife), Heather (organist) and Me. Luckily ten more people showed so we were not all alone. Have you heard of Hymnsing well it was Kimsing that morning (and unfortunately I didn't really know all the songs) but hey I have a big mouth and I know how to use it. I also got to do the children's message, I taught Chastitiy (yes the one child) the song "My God is So Big" with all the actions. Poor old people in the church were made to get up too and join in because heck if I'm going ot teach a song everybody is going ot sing (what a task master aye?). The service was great, Viki and Heather did a great job and who knows maybe we'll take it on the road.

My day ended with a great boat ride around where we live. It took a little time to get started as we had to drive all over town to pick up things we had forgotten (supposedly this meant we were on Indian time) but eventually we were on the sea. What an awesome feeling to be back on the water and we even got to see 7 sea otters swiming around (no whales but it will happen soon). The landscape around here is so beautiful, for that alone I can see why people live here. So what started as an interesting day in teh neighborhood ended in God's natural glory. Yay what a day!
