A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.

I have been asked to share a little bit of my faith in four minutes at churchI remember living in Tssawasen and teaching Sunday School. I would walk putting the two smallest in the stroller with the two oldest beside me. It was about a 40 minute walk.

My question to my children is :Do any of you remember this?

It may have been several years when you where very small.

My energy levels and my battle for health made it so I could not continue.
I did not drive at the time being busy with four children and also coping with the different hours Larry worked as an Air Traffic Controller. I would faithfully get up with him the mornings he had to be at work at six. I would make his lunch and enjoy some quiet time before the children woke up.

But all I want to know if any of you remember us going to church?

My story about our dog Ban Bur who sometimes went into the airplane with dad until the fateful day I also went and we flew to Quilicome Beach.
Flying was a fearful experience for me. I was so afraid I could not even move. Anyway we landed and had a good day walking around and it was enjoyable. When we went to leave Beb Bur would not get into the plane. Dad had to chase and and carry him and forse him into the plane. I believe that he had felt my fear and now he was afraid.

Stories are fun and we remember what we remember.

Mom, I dont remember walking to church, or being pushed in a stroller. I do remember being in the Jr choir and walking in singing "Holy Holy" and not sure in Sunday School or CGIT but singing "Love is Like a Magic Penny" still one of my favorites. But, if I actualy said I remembered something you might fall out of your chair and bump your head. Oh, and I remember tea and cookies after church in Tsawwassen.

I am pretty sure Benbur was a girl dog, not a him dog.

Yes, I remember walking to church with the stroller/buggy (big blue thing, as I recall). But it surely wasn't 40 minutes. It must have been at St. David's Church, where they eventually put the shopping centre (and where I went to kindergarten), and we were on 55A ... not far away. I remember very vaguely you teaching sunday school and stopping doing that. I thought you stopped as you weren't stern and grouchy enough, as my impression of most sunday school teachers was that those were the primary qualifications.

Love,

Rick
