I've got friends in high places!!!
So I just came back from an ESS BBQ (ESS is Emergency Social Services, who are the people that would take care of you if your house burnt down or if you were evacuated in the case of a large forest fire or flooding). I must say, since coming to Kelowna I think I have made a good impression on people, which is good. I don't mean this post to brag, but right now I'm feeling pretty good about some of the things I have been doing here, and people I have been making an impression on. So today during the BBQ I realized that I have built a friendship (well probably more an acquaintance) with both the Mayor of Kelowna, as well as the Fire Chief. I am on a first name basis with both. Also, the fire chief even remembered that last time I saw him (over a month ago) he remembered that I had a sprained wrist. I was also joking around with the chief and assistant chief very much the same way that I would think the firefighters would joke around with each other. Okay, so now I'm sounding like a fool and like I'm starstruck, which I'm actually not. I just think it's funny some of the circles that I am finding myself in. It is actually encouraging, and makes me want to do a better job, because essentially, in some cases I will be serving these people, and I want to serve them with the same love that Christ served. I do think it is neat getting to know some of these people, and who knows maybe if someday I need a job...
Anyways til another day (hopefully sooner than last)
Love all,
Jer

Hey Jer! I have no doubt that people like that will see God's love shining through you! That's really neat that you have the opportunity to interact with people in "high places". May God continue to work through you!
Hey buddy, it's good to see you are networking up there. You always have been a people person, very easy to talk to and relate to. I have no doubt that those qualities and these new friends will help you to continue to make an impact on peoples lives, especially on those in need. It is a very good cause you have taken on and I see you doing great things. Don't be afraid to take the plunge....and have some fun while you're at it.
