This past weekend there was a torrential rainstorm in Calgary. One man, 60 years old, became extremely concerned about his car parked on the street being in danger. He told his friend he was going to move it. His friend told him that it wasn't worth the risk. None the less he ran out to the street. Somehow he became trapped user his car. His friends tried to save him but were unsuccessful and he lost his life. How sad it is when we fail to heed the dangers around us and take risks that have dire consequences.
God tells us that the man who plans his life around things is bound to lose them. "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" We need to seek his Kingdom first. How sad it is to be so blinded by the moment that we lose our tomorrow.

Loss
I found just this past week that an old and good friend had passed away at the end of last April. Albert Baldeo played an intricant and vital roll in my life. A piece of me went with him but his gifts to me and the world around him were beyond measure. Goodbye old friend, one day we will be together again and you can play that big old comb while I sing. You were unique and one of a kind.
Thankfulness for good friends and family
Without the support of my family, my church, my colleagues and my friends this past six months would have been unbearable. Their prayers, their love and their support has and is giving me strength, peace and hope. Please ocontinue your prayerful support for another month or so.
