Sunday greetings everyone!

I've preached more than a thousand times over the years, and today I get to do it one more time. Our senior pastor is on vacation, so I get to preach this morning.

Which brings me to today's video share — it's the live stream of this morning's service. Depending on when you're reading this, it's yet to start, it's on right now, or you can watch the replay.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

The big news around Cybersalt World Headquarters this week is that our eldest daughter and grandson have arrived for a visit, and we are having a wonderful time with them.

On a related family note, last Sunday's video share was of Susan's and my wedding service from 40 years ago that very day. Unbeknownst to me, YouTube had quietly changed the privacy status on older uploads, so nobody was actually able to watch it. I don't expect anyone to watch, but I do have friends and family who are subscribed, and everyone is welcome to have a look. There are actually three videos:
Rehearsal
Wedding
Reception

Sunday greetings everyone!

Today is a big one at Cybersalt World Headquarters. Susan and I are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We said our vows on August 23, 1986 (mustache and all, if the photo is any evidence), and here we are four decades later. We are grateful to God for all of His blessings and faithfulness over these past forty years.

Looking back at the video below stirs up a lot. It reminds us of the many dear people who stood with us that day and are no longer with us now. It also reminds us of all the people who fill our lives today, children and grandchildren, who didn’t even exist back in 1986. God has been faithful through every bit of it.

Today’s video share is a little different. It’s the video of our wedding service, captured off the old VHS tape, so the resolution isn’t quite as marvelous as we thought it was forty years ago. We were grateful to have the service recorded at all, which was still a fairly new thing in the wedding world back then. Fun fact: the cameraman accidentally bumped the pause button and didn’t record any of my vows. Rest assured, though, I did make them. Susan wasn’t the only one.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

The dog park going in next to Cybersalt World Headquarters is really coming along. They've covered the surface where the dogs will run with wood chips, which has cut down the dust in the neighbourhood in a big way. And they're about to put down sod over the dirt in the people part of the park, which is a wonderful stage to reach, because things had gotten pretty dusty around our house.

In fact, last weekend Grandma Cybersalt and I hosed down our entire house, our hedge, our deck, and most of our plants and fruit trees, just to get the dirt off and bring them back to green instead of a dingy greenish-brown. I'll admit I've been a bit of a curmudgeon about a dog park going in right next door, and I'm still waiting to hear what the noise levels are going to be like. But I'm feeling much better about it all. I think choosing to be grateful is really making the difference.

Today's video share might look perfectly ordinary or completely wild, depending on which part of the world you call home. A cyclist out stretching his legs before a big race in South Africa picks up some very fast company on the open road — and a shout out to his buddy who was riding alongside to catch the whole thing.
