Blessings

I have been blessed a lot this week.

Today as I was driving my kids to school, my wife called me ( I know it is dangerous taking a call while driving but......) telling me that a Shell station near her office is giving free gas. I immediately took off after dropping off my kids instead of lingering around talking to other parents at the school. The drive was a bit fast as traffic on Highway 1 was sparse, so I was able to catch the line at #399, the second to the last car eligible for a free tank of gas.

Yesterday, the Program Officer handling my application for school funding called to tell me she is approving my request. This was really a big help to me as I really can not afford not to work for a year much more, to pay the tuition fees. Its like being in ViSCA again...free tuition plus a living allowance with added bonuses - I'd be with my wife and kids.

Tuesday, I was at the Mary Jane Shannon Elementary School working as a Voting Clerk for Election BC. This was a great job experience aside from the fact that we do get paid more than double my regular rate. The NDP candidate, Bruce Ralston won by a big margin over the Liberal's Radhia Benalla. My candidate Bernadette Keenan of the Green Party was a dismal third. I guess politics is politics whether in a corrupt 3rd world country or in a politically mature and developed one. The bigger political machines always has the advantage.

Thanks to the Lord my Provider!!!!
