howdy do ya

well I am a bad blogger, no lying on that one, there are a million excuses that I will not make.

i wouldn't have had time today to blog, but my college and career was canceled and i didnt find that out until i got to my church so i didnt have time to really do anything else so I decided to stay home and start writing a letter to friends and family concerning the next 6 months of my life, and write a blog.

well the past 7ish days have been really cold... i work outside. its a good time, i wear a tshirt, 2 sweaters, two jackets, long johns, jeans, snowpants, 3 pairs of socks 2 tuques 2 hoods, 2 pairs of gloves. and actually then its not too bad.

speaking of weather, i looked at the forcast for homer alaska and its supposed to be like +2 celcius tomorrow.

i have 3 weeks left here , which really, one week work, one week christmas holidays, and then i might work for another week.

today i was going to go buy the rest of the american money i need at lunch time, like 750 plus some of the spending moneyi plan on getting but then i had to go get gas first and then i decided i would wait because i heard on the radio that the canadian dollar had gone up a tiny bit, but by the end of the day it had gone up more than 2 cents, so im glad i didnt buy today.

on the topic of money, the reason i kinda delayed writing a blog was because i had a plan to write this big post on the evils of money and how i hate that its what makes the world go round, i mean we need money for almost everything physical. money can be used for good, but the drive of this world is money, i need money you need money, this is what society is. its a big topic. and its hard to know how i feel. money has given me opportunities up the ying yang.

as of right now i am just asking for support through prayer and taking time to encourage me while im away. though i really wouldnt deny finacial support, mostly just if you feel God urging you to support me in that way. i will have enough money. i just might be living on my income tax return when i get back and may be unable to insure my car, but you know what if thats the worst thing that can happen to me then i am in the top few percent of people in the world finacially speaking. I am also dipping my whole education fund right now, which in a perfect world would be saved for a different day, but im going to stop talking because it sounds like im trying to be a sob story to get people to give me money haha. if you do choose to donate money to me either talk to me sometime before jan 6th or send me a email (chad_has_a_really_long_address@hotmail.com)

grace and peace
