What a Mess my life has been Jan. 31, 2008

I want to appologize for my absence here lately, I have been very busy (not an excuse really I should be able to make some time for you)

We've had a rough few weeks My wife was in 2 Car Accidents in one week Yesterday and exactly a week before, we've been without power since Tuesday, we lost it Monday night it came back on and we lost it again Tuesday and it looks like it might be next Tuesday before it's back. On top of the two car accidents (wife was not hurt in either and no major dammage to either vehicle) a week before teh van sliding door fell off at midnight when my wife was getting home from a Homeschooling moms meeting.

Anyways this is what is happening now in our area

At about 1 minute and 10 seconds my kids make a brief appearance playing with Teddy Bears donated by the Red Cross. It was actually kind of funny we went to the locval High School this morning because they had power and we could shower there and while we were there they turned it into an emergency shelter and the Red Cross arrived to unload beds blankets etc. so I pitched in and helped unload and then 2 of the National Networks' news teams arrived and we were the only family there because nobody in the community knew about it yet, so they interviewed us, and we aren't even planning on staying there, kind of ironic.

My wife's dad is coming from Nova Scotia to hook up his Generator for us for the next few days so hopefully we'll be fine, it was 40 degrees in the house and we are worried about the pipes freezing. It is suppose to go down to -16 celcius tonight. It was mild yesterday and today so some of the beautiful aspects of an ice storm are gone (such as ice on trees etc.). Our basement has some seepage from the melting ice and I can't shop vac it up without any power so hopefully tonight we'll be ok with the generator.

More info on our storm can be found here

On an island with approx 140,000 residents there are over 20,000 homes with no power.

About Me

I'm a former resident of Nova Scotia, Canada, I relocated to PEI in 2005. I'm married and have 2 adopted children. I am a Reformed Presbyterian and attend the Free Church of Scotland. I live in Middleton, Prince Edward Island, where my wife and I homeschool our 2 children. I run an Online Christian Bookstore. I was raised Roman Catholic, when I was in University I was challenged in my faith over the next few I read Paul's Epistle to the Romans which convicted me enough to know I was on the wrong path, in 1996 I hooked up with Rev. John Shearouse who I had met when I was student and he was part of a student ministry. He had just come back to Halifax, to plant a new Reformed church and I started to attend and made a profession of faith. I have been very active in Federal, Provincial and Municipal Politics, have managed many campaigns and having run as a provincial candidate in 1998.
