Well here it is again almost the weekend.  What kind of week have you had?  Mine has been frought with all kinds of insurance fun.  Do you know coming from one province to another is almost like coming from one country to another.  I came to Alberta from the NWT almost two years ago.  Yet recently I decided to change insurance companies when it came to auto insurance to get a better deal and I have been treated like a foreigner.  Jumping through one hoop after another.  Get this document and that document.  Makes you think what is happening.  Now the real cruncher to this whole scenario is the fact that I was born and raised in this province.  I spent the first 30 years of my life here.  Go away for a short five years and you are starting from scratch.  Well enough of that.  Today I want to encourage you through this musing to not give up.  I have not because the prize is lower insurance.  You always have minor setbacks or even major obstacles but you must not give up mid run.  It is not how you start that matters but how you finish.  Paul says that we run the race to win.  The prize is the Lord Jesus Christ and His statement, "well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into my rest."  I am looking forward to that day.  Have a great weekend.
