Spring Break

There are a few things going on with the VK family now that it is spring break.

Someone said it started raining in October and it hasn't stopped here in Chilliwack. It has been a wet, dark winter for us so we decided to pack up and head for LA! After working on Monday, we'll head out on Tuesday and drive south, searching for the sun. Levi and I have been fixing the dings on the surf boards and we are all getting excited about see our old friends - including the beach and sun.

The Chilliwack Bruins continue their successful inaugural season by making it into the playoffs. It's been an up and down year for them, but they have worked hard and are now going to the dance. It starts next week and they will be facing the Giants. They beat the Kamloops Blazers last night 5-0. And tonight, for the last game of the regular season, they will face the Giants. Should be a little preview of what the playoffs will be like. Then following the game there will be the team's award ceremony.

At Heartland we've been on track with the sayings of Jesus while he was on the cross. It has been a helpful way to prepare for Easter.

Critics and Enemies

We all want people to think we’re better than we actually are. I want people to think I’m more holy than I actually am, more knowledgeable than I actually am. Well, a critic comes along, and they don’t give me a chance to inflate my image. And in that way, if I can learn to live with a lower image through criticism, then maybe I won’t be so prone to inflate my image in other circumstances. Critics teach us humility.
