It's gonna be a long hot summer!

Well readers, it was a transitional school year and it is finally over! Completed exams this past Thursday and now the summer has officially started with a Brad Paisley concert last night at the Molson Ampitheatre. It was fantastic! One of the best concerts I have ever been too. The visual effects were unbelievable and Brad is an amazing guitarist. The only downside was that despite Friday being a gorgeous day, that evening and night was overcast and we had a downpour at the concert for about 10 minutes! I was soaked but then Brad played "Water" and it was all better haha.
On the agenda today was the conference finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs! It is unfortunate that my boys Blue and white didn't make it but these series' will be some of the best hockey you can wish for.

This post was going to be a bit longer but I interrupted it to send an email to one of my favorite teachers Mr. Ring who is retiring this year. He was an amazing teacher and was my first hockey coach and he helped me through the best and worst times of my life. What a great guy! Our community has been so blessed to have had him in it. Who knows where Browns Flat would be without Mr. Ring.

So the Summer begins for me with 3 weeks straight of work with being a supplies coordinator for the Ride to Conquer Cancer events in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. Busy busy busy! After that I can truly be free haha! I cannot wait to spend days laying on a beach or in a park and just relaxing. I also cannot wait to play Kan Jam and Saucer King with friends. I am also looking forward to going home for a couple weeks to see the Fam and neighbourhood.
With school and exams taking up 98% of my time the last couple weeks, I haven't kept up with my Bible reading but I am not going to stop! I hope to pick it back up this month as I will be on the road with no distractions other than work and colleagues.

VERSE OF THE POST:
I put this verse in the email to Mr. Ring as I found it fitting for retirement. Even though he is finishing his career and mine will be starting before I know it, it is always important to remember: no matter what stage of life you find yourself in, remember that you are still running the race. Be courageous and finish as a strong as you started!

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." - 2 Timothy 4:7-8

SONG OF THE POST:
Great song that has been in my head the past week. God is so good to us. PTL!

Your love is like a river - Third Day

All the best and God bless,

John
