What a rush today was. I rushed to get in the shower, I rushed to get to church, I think I might have rushed one of the songs and I rushed to leave church early so that Michelle could rush to class.
The morning seemed so rushed.
It will be nice to relax for a little while this afternoon and evening, just Michelle and myself. I think I might even sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Hmmmm.... Now that is how to relax.

My long lost relatives
Did you know, that there are a lot of Steinhilbers out there in the world. I thought that it might be a more uncommon name, but apparently there are around 57 of us on Facebook. For kicks and giggles I decided to do a search for Steinhilber and I was amazed at how many people I found. Most of them where in the states but a couple were from Saskatchewan, so it lead me to think that I might have some long lost relatives.

Hooked
I think this internet thing is going to take off. I mean just 4 months ago I didn't have a blog and now look at me. Recording the goings-on of my life on a weekly basis. Can you believe that I also just signed up for Facebook (www.facebook.com). I already have like 12 friends. It is amazing. What else could a guy ask for. Now if there was only some sort of way a person could make money using the internet. That would be awesome!
By the way, if you have Facebook, add me (no I am not having a competition with my wife to see who has more friends, and she is not beating me by double).

Powerful
What an amazing Sunday. In the last few months, things just didn't seem to be adding up for some reason or another. Either I am too busy or just not in the mood, but this Sunday was really powerful for me. I guess it was partly to do with the fact that it was Easter Sunday and all of the things in life are so small compared to what Christ has done for me. Maybe it was the realization of that fact.
This week I was on for worship team. I have to say that I was a little bitter not being asked to play on Friday at the combined service that we had with three other churches, but because I was playing on Sunday I got over it. Sunday's set was outstanding. Chris obviously spends a lot of time every week on the set and he is fantastic at what he does, but this week he out did himself. Every song just worked, and I don't think that I have ever felt the presence of God in the sanctuary like I did on Sunday. People were singing, and praising and it was just incredible. Jason's message really hit home to. I know it sounds cheesy but it was something to experience.
It was pretty powerful.
Thanks to those who were involved. It was great.

Easter Break
What is the Easter Break? Like I don't have a busy enough weekend. This is what my weekend entails:
Friday morning I get to wake up really early and head out to Oakbank Baptist Church for no other reason than Michelle has to practice with the worship team. I don't get it. That will be practice number 3. I think church starts at 10:30 and I get to be there at 9:00. Good Friday service is followed by the church potluck. I hope we don't have to bring anything... Cause all we have is left over roast... Friday afternoon should be more relaxing but I still have not quite got all of my tax info together and we are seeing an accountant on Saturday so I got to get my 7:45 together... (that reference is for Monika G). So like I said we see the Accountant at 9:00 on Saturday morning. I am hoping it won't take longer than an hour. Then we are having College Pro Painters come and do an estimate on what the cost will be to paint the trim on the windows. Anyone use College Pro before? I am wondering if they are any good. Then after College Pro, Michelle and I are going to the hockey game. Hopefully it will be Canada vs. USA. I happened to win 4 tickets to the game from work. If everything works out, I will still be in one peice. Just in time for Sunday Service.
I love eating at Church. There is just something fun about having easter breakfast at the church. This will be the first time that we are around for it at Church at Pine Ridge, so I am looking forward to it. What I am not looking forward to is practicing for worship team at 8:30 in the morning. YIKES... I thought that Friday was going to be early. I don't entirely mind to be honest. It is early and I am not getting a chance to sleep in during the weekend at all but I guess it isn't like this every week. Good thing cause if it was I would be having a breakdown.
So in all of this activity, I am going to have to find some time to work on my Project Charter. I did a presentation today for the Executive Sponsors at work today and things went really well. The extra time that I put into the presentation paid dividends. The VPs congratulated me on good work, and so that does make it worth while. It isn't like I need them to validate my work, because I know that I do good work, but it is one of those things that makes you feel like it was worth it. Now the real job starts.
So if I am crabby at church, please forgive me, I am going on limited sleep and have a lot to get done.

Johnny G's Rocks, Mitzy's Sucks
So you like chicken fingers you say. Well I certainly do too. I went for the "Best" chicken fingers in town on Friday at Mitzy's and I was utterly disappointed. Everyone in town loves this place except for me apparently.
Here is the story. I ordered the 8 fingers and fries for 10.95. I was really hungry so I figured that I would get the big plate. A couple of friends bought the 5 and fries. When your meal comes you get coleslaw, fries, chicken fingers and a dill sauce. It is honey dill sauce with out the honey. Now my main complaint is that if you order 5 chicken fingers you get the same sauce as with 8 fingers. I lika da sauce and so with 3 fingers left and no more sauce, I asked for some more.
Now the taste of the fingers where not bad, but they definitely weren't the best I have ever had.
When I went to pay, the girl asked me if I had an extra sauce. I of course said yes, and she said that was a buck extra. I was like, you have to be kidding. An extra $1.00? Sorry, yes. I sure wish they would have told me that when I asked for it. How Cheap!
With a dollar tip my chicken finger meal with only water to drink cost me 15 bucks. What a rip off. Now if you want chicken fingers the place to go is Johnny G's on Main Street. They are good fingers, you get a plate full of fries and you get all the sauce you can eat. The bonus, you only have to pay 10 bucks with a tip.
