This past week I have noticed a decrease in the amount of reading I am actively doing.  I usually have a few books on the go, 2-3.  I have started a couple awhile ago, and was making my way through them…but then I realized this week it has been awhile since I had actually picked one of them up.

To me this is not good….I need to get reading….there are reasons.  BMX has been really busy the past couple of weeks, regular races, clinic, and National races in the US.  Going through my business course has also grabbed time where I used to read.  I just completed module 3 of 10.

Even with that, somewhere I need to make some time for reading. Maybe a new book is needed, haven’t been to Chapters in awhile either.

Haven’t been posting to the blog recently. Things have been busy, and I always remember when I am calling it a night. Got to get into a regular blogging routine again. Of course, I am always twittering http://www.twitter.com/regbertrand

BMX Racing is been busy to start the year. This year we hosted for the first time at Ottawa BMX a Pro Clinic. Nick Goertzen ABA #1 ‘A’ Pro held a two day clinic.

Currently, we are down in Horseheads NY at the Empire State Nationals. This is the first time we have been to a National Series race for the ABA.

I have also started a course that should last 4-10 weeks, since it is correspondence there is just a minimum timeframe of 2 weeks and max of 10 weeks. I plan on doing it in about 5 weeks. It is a business course on becoming a licensed mortgage broker. I have been doing the modules at night.

I am going to be launching a website in the near future for the business and some other social media elements. I have a draft of how I want to have everything connected and flowing together from Twitter, Facebook, websites, email etc. it is in a mind dump in my moleskin.

This past Sunday we were at our last service in Cornwall at Faith Apostolic. The new pastor is now in place.

We will be going back to Calvary in Ottawa. It will be a few weeks before we are readjusted to the large church setting. We also have grown in numbers with B4, since our kids were in a large Sunday School setting.

The services in Cornwall were a bit different. I had each of my boys choose one message I had spoken in Cornwall in all the services we have had at Faith Apostolic and these would be the messages I would speak to close out our time there.

It was interesting to see which ones they choose, and to remember some of the responses and comments when I originally spoke the message.

In the AM service I spoke on reaching people for Christ in a message called “The Gutter.” This was the very first message I spoke at Faith.

In the PM service I spoke a message from the Baggage series. The message was about letting go of the baggage of the past.

It was interesting because both of these messages fit so well for Faith and the future.

Right now I have some things brewing that could be huge for the future. In many ways, very exciting.
