One, two, three...If there is one thing that just drives me crazy it is Canadian Tire sales. Why? Because you look in the flyer and see something that you need, go to the store to get it only to find out that they are out of stock. However, they probably only had one in stock in the first place. Yet, it doesn’t stop there. They’ll offer you a rain check and tell you that the item will arrive in about two weeks, yet five weeks later you are still waiting for the blessed thing. Lesson one: don’t get to excited over sale items in the flyers, they are probably out of stock. If you really want it you better be the first person in the door on sale day.
Besides that things are going great here on the rock. Keeping busy, especially this past week. The Pastor was gone to a conference so he asked me to preach. Also, we were asked to lead worship. So last week consisted of work until 5:30 , practice, and a whole lot of sermon preparation. Although it was a little stressful everything went well and we had an awesome time. After the service we had a campfire at Shauna-Lee’s house, a great time of relaxation and just hanging out (and eating of course!). A hectic week ended with a blast. Lesson two: fulfilling the role of Pastor and working another job at 50+ hours a week can be tiresome, but it’s worth it in the end.
So another week begins and it’s time to strap on my carpenter’s belt and get to work. This weeks task: working on the new Canadian Tire that is being built in Gander (which is an hour and an half from where I live). When they open I hope they are well stocked, ha! For now we are coming home each evening. However, seeing that there will be several weeks of work to be done I am expecting that we will end up staying in Gander during the week and coming home on the weekends. As if eight and a half months away from home wasn’t enough, lol! Lesson three: when you are involved in construction work you might end up anywhere doing anything. But as they say, "make hay when the sun shines."
Take care everyone!
