Coffee?

Well, I have fallen in love with the idea of roasting coffee for a living.  But do I have the confidence to create something that is sustainable for me and my family?  People like the coffee I make, I love it, its a real joy to roast, and it seems like everything I would ever want to do.  But here I am, afraid.  Financial bumps hit me and I question whether I have what it takes to weather this storm, if I will merely take too large of a risk and find myself 40 without any subsistence, relying on each day to provide for its own needs.  Even this statement urks me, and tastes like fear.  Would I really be any different if my parents had instilled in me that "I could accomplish if I simply committed myself to it"?  Or would I be in the same boat, merely switching fears and still missing what is really important to me?  Is it coffee that brings me peace/joy? No.  Financial independance? No. Knowing what tomorrow holds? No.  Then why do I always slow down to stop and think about these things?  I presume it is the aforementioned, fear.

BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!!

My favorite girl is with her favorite girl Mel David.  I trust she is enjoying her time with Mel, in God's provision. 

This is Dee, and I am breaking into Jer's site to post a pic of a version of 'heaven' in Jer's world- watching the Yankess play on one screen, while playing NBA Jam on the other.. :)

My grandma's estate is finally settled.... After much debate, pain, resentment the judge decided that all 3 daughters would receive an equal amount.  Most of you reading this have no idea what I am talking about, but it has been going on for two years now.  When my grandma died she left almost nothing to my aunt that I had never heard of, it was a secret.  But when she found out she decided to take things to court.  My mom agreed that all 3 of them should get an equal amount of the estate, my secret aunt agreed, but my other aunt did not.  The process sucked for my parents, but now it is done.  Praise God!

Baseball season opens tomorrow, and the Yankees first game is on monday.  I know 99.7% of you don't care, but 100% of me does.  Wish I was there with the Yanks, a part of their history being made every year.  Alas, I am a sad fan watching from the country above, wishing the Yankees were canadian.

Here is an interesting question for everyone:  What do you think I should do for my career or aspiration or whatever?  (For those of you who have heard what I want to do, don't just write that, what do you who know me at least a little, think I should be?

Write answer down here (Pretend there is an arrow pointing down)

I can't help it, I love this show  ^^^^^^^^^^

I have only 1 assignment left.  And I understand the pain people may feel when reading this post.  I have learned from the last few years what people think of you when you finish your homework early,  but nonetheless, I still am joyed.  Only one assignment stands between me and graduation here at prairie.  It really marks an important spot in my life.  I become the first on in at least the last 3 generations that I know of that is graduating from post secondary education.  When looking back at my life, I never would have expected to complete this, and remembering the the comments from teachers and others who never believed in me, it amazes me that God would use me this way.  He has given me a love for knowledge.  I think of myself more as an infant than ever approaching graduation, realizing the more knowledge we gain the more we realize the knowledge we lack.  There is beauty in that truth....

Dana is here with Finn and I hope I can see them both.  Never got to know her really well, but just loved her and Nik for some strange reason.  I am so glad she did not bring those abominations(pugs) with her, no offence Dana, they look more like Nik anyways.

I might get to play tennis with Tom Stobbe this summer, all summer.  Unless he bags out on me, and only hangs with his girl.  I doubt that though, tennis rules!!!!

A Tribue to My Wife...

Deanna is priceless!

I look forward to the future I get to have with my wife

I believe in what God has made in her:

which is a very strong woman, who doesn't totally realize it yet,

a gifted teacher and educator (A miraculous way of connecting with different people)

Kona was made to be a child of light

and I will always fight for her!

No person or possession can surpass the value of

MY WIFE!

You will change and grow as time passes,

I trust and pray that your beauty will be protected

in this fallen world.

Praise God for His glorious creation!
