Road Trip (oops...)

Two of the regular commenters here, Jules (left) and Chris (right), came to visit us in Kelowna this past weekend. As you can see from their smiling faces, they are a lot of fun and would definitely qualify as people of the spark. We've known them since 1990, when I was their youth pastor, and they were a part of our worship band for GodRock and also the regular church services at Eastgate Vineyard up until we left for Winnipeg in 1997. Jules and Chris ended up staying with us a wee bit longer than first anticipated, and the 2nd picture is the evidence of why. Thank you, God, that nobody was injured, not even the "multi-poo" puppy that Jules brought with her (I kid you not, the dog's breed is officially "multi-poo somthing-or-other").

We'd been joking about creating new memories together, instead of just living on the nostalgia of the old skewl days of the 1990's, but an accident on the Coquihalla (BC's famous freeway through the Canadian Rockies) was not quite the "memory" that we had in mind. Still, no-one was hurt (although the vehicle is a write-off -- that tire was actually horizontal just after the accident), so we're all just thankful to God for that.

Happy birthday (tomorrow) Jules! Perhaps next time, we'll pop down to the Island to visit you guys there?
