Peace Be The Journey

Christmas has come again! I love this time of year. Tons of time with family, good food, and celebrating Jesus birth. Just ask any of the four year old's I've been teaching this month at church. What are we celebrating? JESUS BIRTHDAY! (This is said in a yell of course.) And why is Jesus special? HE'S GOD'S SON! I don't know what it is about being little and needing to yell answers, but it makes for some very entertaining Sunday school classes, especially when the answer is wrong. We had a cake this Sunday for Jesus' birthday celebration. We used it in our lesson, but it wasn't for the kids to eat. They were really disappointed about that one. We had other, less messy, snacks to celebrate, but no cake. There were some gloomy faces around the table before the cookies came out. So many good memories have been and will be made in these days surrounding Christmas. Hopefully the weather won't be as crazy as last year. I got snowed in at my grandparents hou

As I am now an official member of the United States Bobsled & Skeleton Federation, I want to encourage everyone to vote for this. "USBSF Going for Gold" is aimed at enhancing the athletic development of bobsled and skeleton athletes to compete at higher levels at the next winter Olympic Games. In order to improve the development program, USBSF must purchase additional equipment, hire a full-time strength and conditioning coach to work with athletes year round, and have funding available for athletes on an as-needed basis.  Because of the high cost of being a bobsled or skeleton athlete, many potential Olympians cannot afford to train for Team USA. Other countries receive government funding to help their athletes; we don't. Therefore, USBSF relies on the help of company sponsorships and individual donations. By accomplishing these goals, USBSF will be able to increase potential talent in our sports, better train our athletes, represent our country, and give Team USA a

I'm a few days late on this week's post. Sorry about that. My Thanksgiving weekend was just so great that the blog got pushed back a few days. Sunday came and went, and I was enjoying a nice weekend with my family. This is a shout out to all my Fairview family and Micah, Leanne and Colin. I had a great time with everyone for the holiday. This is a collective thank you to all the Neufeld's that let us bring our friends and stay at your homes. And Brenda, if you're reading this, all my friends here were jealous when I told them about my weekend. The words "hick" or "redneck" weren't even mentioned. Even one of my trainers at Zoom wanted to visit. You know how to show people a good time with lots of good food surrounded by amazing family. Doesn't get any better than that! Here's a few pictures and some footage of this weekend. Welcome to Fairview, OK, and the Neufeld family! That's Colin on a 4 wheeler to the right I had fun drivi
