In honor of the World Cup here is a fun video of some fancy moves on the field.
Way to go US! I am happy with a tie. I was pulling for the US.
Hopefully we can make it into the next round.
The world cup had been fun to watch.
I am at the library today in downtown Vancouver and their restaurant (a high class one) was full of Saudis watching the Saudi vs. Tunisia.
It was cool seeing the place packed. I didn’t know there were that many Saudis here in Vancouver.
I watched the France vs. Switzerland game. It was rather dissapointing.
I can’t wait to see how Trinadad Tobago do against England tomorrow.
I am going to try to watch that one.
Yesterday I had my annual summer sports day.
Caleb and I went to Regent on bicycle. Then after a few hours of hard labour in study we went to play some basketball for about 1.5 hours and then we played about a hour of ultimate. This morning my ankle and knees were so sore, but more from getting banged up than muscle soreness. It was a lot of fun and I need some time to play.
I have been struggling because of what is going on in El Salvador. It seems like the situation is getting worse and that the national policy is driving it deeper into poverty. I heard an Anglican Priest that works with Cristosol in El Salvador and his stories made me sad. Although he had some stories of hope it breaks my heart to know that this country that started out with a lot of hope in 1992 with the signing of the peace accords is now struggling. When I was there last summer the message was clear: The best export from El Salvador is it’s people. There is little incentive to stay. There is no just work and the work that is available makes people slaves because there are plenty of other people who would take your job if you are fired so the bosses have lots of power.
It is a challenge to my theology when ever I visit. I don’t even know how to articulate my thoughts and ideas or my struggles. My wife and I are praying about returning. I got another year and a half here in Vancouver. Only God knows what is next. My prayers are with El Salvador.
Go to Spanish Castle and stare at the image for 30 seconds then move your cursor over the picture and you will see it in color eventhough it is black and white.
I just finished this book called Glittering Images.
I was very surprised by this book, because I didn’t like the first half.
However, the second half was excellent.
It is about the life of an Anglican priest that has a breakdown and his resoration by a spiritual director.
It was an insightful look into the life of priest and behind the doors of spiritual direction.
Last night Lisa and I watched the 2006 Alma Awards.
We really liked the tribute to Marc Antony, Gloria Estefan, and the special by Sin Banderas and Brian McKnight. Jimmy Smitts was good as well.
Idlewilde a new movie starring and music by OutKast looks interesting. I don’t know if the movie looks like it is all that, but the music will no disappoint. Check out the first single release Mighty O.
Here is my boy Ed doing an uncut cribs edition.
