LOTR MARATHON!!!

Sunday, March 23, 2008
OK Guys the day is finally upon us! Saturday March 29th at 9am we are starting a journey that most of us have not yet tried to complete with a run time of 654 minutes thats just shy of 11 hours. We are going to watch
ALL THREE EXTENDED SPECIAL EDITIONS OF;

Heres the scoop, were not sure yet what everyone wants to do so were suggesting a door charge of 10$ Reason being, Pizza, pop and munchies... I don't mind picking everything up prior to the event however I REALLY don't want to get stiffed with a huge munchies bill. We'll pre-order the pizza to arrive at a specified time as to not interrupt the movie's. We'll take a 5 minute break between discs for bathroom breaks and a quick stretch. At the end of each movie we'll take a 15-20 minute break again to stretch or grab some munchies. This is the best part, we've got a FULL 6.1 surround sound system, with a projector and BIG SCREEN setup to watch the movie with. Which if you're one of the unfortunate people that had to watch in our Theater here in Terrace you know that our showing is going to be 10x better.

Were going to be doing this at our church in the Library/Prayer room, we'll have some couches and chairs for comfort sake, or you can stretch out on a foamy (if you bring it) and enjoy the movie's like that.

If any one has any suggestions on the munchie/food situation then please leave a comment. Let me know, we won't be providing breakfast but maybe we can think of something for Lunch? But my thoughts are Lunch and Dinner?? not sure what to do? we could get some Subway but again thats going to bring costs up... So please comment and let me know if your interested.

This is open to everyone, but please let me know so I have an idea of who's coming for the munchies, pop and pizza (if that's the route we go)


Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.



So please leave a comment if you are coming, or if you have any ideas on what we could do for food or munchies.

Thanks and see you there!!!



Possibility of a new Job...

Wednesday, March 19, 2008
I've been in contact with a company. Actually I was in contact with this company several months ago talking about the possibility of a service contract with them. However there was a local company in town that already had its foot in on that service. Knowing the unnamed company I knew it wouldn't be long for Alcan and this other company to be unsatisfied and get upset with the unnamed company. After being laid of on the 3rd of March I started keeping my ear to the ground for opportunities should they arise, well it seems I was right both companies are fed up with the level of service being provided by the unnamed company and is now looking for a full-time employee, so I've forwarded my resume and spoken with the guy doing the hiring on the phone. I told him that I wouldn't do it for anything less then a minimum of $30/hour. So I'm playing the waiting game with them now, I've sent in my resume and am just waiting to hear back... But truth be told I don't know if I really want to go back it means being back at Alcan.

There are other things that I would like to see included in the offer, such as pager pay a friend of mine works at Alcan and said he gets about $1000 extra a month for having the pager, also a gas card (would settle for a decent mileage rate) 3-4weeks paid holiday and of course benefits. I just really need to pray about this whole thing I don't want to take the job just because the pay sounds good. Another thing that is a MUST is to get EVERYTHING in writing. I've been screwed over to many times at Alcan. Different companies each time but not anymore..

So my prayer request is this; that God would reveal his will to me and my family. My heart is to be in business for myself and not working for "the man " but I don't want to be foolish if this is what God wants me to do. So ya, I would appreciate your prayers and thanks in advance.

Long Time No Update..

Friday, March 14, 2008
Tonnes going on LOTS to update about but I just haven't been doing it... I'm sorry I've been busy, and not motivated to update.

I don't even think I have the energy to update right now but it seems I am anyways. Where to start... Monday March 3rd 2008 I wake up and get ready for work just like any other day, jump in with Sheldon and head off to Kitimat. Arrive, put my lunch in the fridge bring the lunch my wife made for Marilyn to her, and she says "We have a meeting right away off plant" I'm like sure haven't even had a chance to power up my computer so lets do it. Get there, go in alone and she leaves. I knew something was up when she didn't come in and when she said "off plant" Anyways I ended up getting Laid off... BUT the word the guy used was TERMINATED lol. With severance pay and what not so ya laid off. I'm not worried about it though for some reason, I hated the job and had been looking for new work anyways so it wasn't a big deal. Had I gotten laid off without severance, that might have been a HUGE issue but God knows what we need and has blessed us with it.

Christy and I have been talking and praying and trying to decide what to do, most of you know I'm in business with Tom we are TCSI Computers. Shameless plug to follow, you can check out our web site at www.tcsicomputers.ca So for the moment we've decided to try and make a serious effort of that. I've actually be UBER busy too, couple calls from clients, couple web sites that needed to be built, stuff like that. But its not enough, need more so please pray for us that the business would just take off like crazy. We've just sent out 7000 flyers and are about to do another 500 and were looking into Radio adverts.

At the same token I'm looking for work, maybe not full time but if its right I'll do full time as well . I don't want to pass up an opportunity, were open to WHATEVER God may be calling us to even if that means moving. We don't care, we just want to be obedient to what God is calling us to.

Anyways I think thats enough for now, I'll try to stay more up-to-date with blogging but no promises.

Please keep up in your prayers that God would continue to provide.

Thanks guys!
