As my time here in Alberta and at Vanguard Bible College winds down for a semester, I am anxiously awaiting my trip by car back home, Hamilton Ontario. A part of me will be left behind here in this land of milk and honey, the land of 11% government rases and $400 rebate checks; I truly will miss this place.
I am also sad to leave Millwoods Penticostal Church here in Edmonton. I have grown fond of the youth and have been blown away by the hospitality I have recieved and felt with the youth, leaders, and adults alike. I hope to write more about this passion for youth throughout this blogue.
I think my brother got me into this and hopefully someone will gain intrest from this aswell.
Today:
I am sitting in my Pentateuch Class with my dear and favorite teacher. Hearing this husky man, with his medium pitched voice state, "Love me on this friends," just before you think he is making a controversial statement; then realizing he's conveying a basic point, cracks me every time. At the end of class, he also will stop mid scentence pack up his stuff in like 3 seconds and boot it for the door.
I have to work today and there is a new male youth there. On the weekend I was able to conect with him by bringing him to the movies, playing basketball, and talking about his family. My passion is for these kids, and maybe one day, resources and God willing, may be able to open my own Group Home. This is my dream, this is my passion. Anyway it is the morning so we will see how the rest of the day goes.
Simon Out!

Simon,
It sounds like you'll miss the financial prosperity of Alberta more than anything else; of course, there's Millwoods, but its sister church is right here in the Hammer: BGT.
I'm looking forward to reading more about your passion for youth, both in the group home and church settings. I thought, though, that your passion was evangelism with youth, not necessarily the group home end of things; I guess things have changed and I'm eager to hear how they have changed.
Let me know how the rest of the day went; I have, by the way, linked you to my blog at http://joshuaweresch.blogspot.com. See you in a month!
