One such student, still sends me the occasional making fun of Canadian tidbits. For example, I received this from him last week
I got used to the joking and it encourages me to pray for past students. Another example of being reminded is
When students would wear these I would say "You know what the root word of ugly is right?"
I will give you a few minutes to process this.
Anytime I see UGG boots, I think of the students back at KCA who wore them and remember them in my prayers.
Back to the Canadian Joking. I was sent some Jeff Foxworthy quotes of "You might be from Canada if..."
- If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Canada
- If you have switched from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day and back again, you may live in Canada
- If you can drive 90 kms/hr through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Canada
- If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Canada
But, one quote really got me
- If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Canada
It's so true. Both of our parents live 10 hours from here. Ukraine is a 13 hour flight away. Brandon is 2 hours, Winnipeg is 3 1/2. My office is 5 minutes. Ha, I even mentioned it in my last blog post.
We Canadians often as how far something is away and then we answer with an amount of time. This is normal and no one even bats an eye at it.
It got me thinking of our life in Christ. How far has our sin been removed from us?
Those in Christ know the simple answer and given my Canadian thinking, it is...
Eternity.
