The Life Process…
I was listening to a Lance Wallnau video session and he made a great point, he said “God shows us the end from the beginning but not the process of getting there”.
If you think about it, if we knew the process of life we are to get to, we may try and change it in our own strength because we do not like how it looks. We also may try and run ahead of where we should be or worse yet, freeze where we are and never move into the Destiny we are called in. It is in the process of life that we learn the end from the beginning and the lessons to move forward to where we need to be. If there is no peace in the process of life, then there is a shift you need to make to get onto the path that God has intended for you. Ask Him and he will tell you and guide you.
I hear allot about the ‘doom and gloom’ news we are bombarded with and don’t get me wrong, there are definate problems we are all dealing with. Our Companies sales have dropped off substantially but in all of this, this is the most peaceful I have been in business in 18 years. I believe this is because I am stepping back, identifying who is the provider of all things, and not trying to strive for what is ahead but get in tune with what God has for me in the future and move in that way.
Who knows what that will look like as I don’t know the process, I only know I win in the end!
Blessings,
Larry

Welcome our New Dog to the Family-Maxi the YorkiPoo
Well I guess is was only a matter of time before the mourning period for our last dog would be over and it would be time to lobby Larry for a new dog. My wife told me last Sunday that we were going to look at a YorkiPoo puppy. She told me we didn’t have to go if I didn’t want another dog but I knew Robin wanted a new companion so off I went.
Well within record time we had “Maximillion” , Maxi for short, and were off to PetSmart for all the things a new puppy needs. First shots, kennel, toys, food…you get the idea. It has been a adjustment to keep up with this ball of energy but is fun to see his personality come out. He is 3 pounds right now and porbably will be less than 8 pounds well fully grown. Maxi is 10 weeks old now and thinks he owns the joint. My wife is doing a great job of training him and Maxi obviously clings to her like velcro.
Well, there you are. The newest Clark member has arrived and taken over.
Always keep your wife happy and you will be happy.

The U.S. Citizens Have Spoken
Well I wake up this morning with the news that it is a historic day for our U.S. neighbours as they have made history by electing the first African American President. It is a testament to the Democratic system we still enjoy here in Canada and the USA.
So what’s next for them and us? Well, not a Democrat at heart, I have no idea what this will mean to Canadians or Americans and especially Business people. I export housing to the U.S., and have for over 12 years , and abide by the NAFTA agreement. Obama said he would re-write NAFTA. Ok, so what does that mean? I am guessing that may not be favourable to Canada or Mexico but slant to favour the U.S.
Having a fully Democrat House, Senate and President in the U.S. will mean change. Obama also said he would tax the rich and business’ and distribute the wealth. What does that mean really? Not sure, but as a Business owner myself I work hard, employ employee’s and work off the premise that if I am successful at what I do I can make a profit. If my Government started to tax me to death on my success this would not only be discouraging but also would make me think that this is not a democratic society and more of a Government controlled socialist society. I pray this is not the case in the U.S. as you will see businesses outsource more of their labour and possibly move their business right out of the Country. This would devastate an already weak economy in North America.
Please understand this is not “sour grapes” as I am just stating fact. I have lived through Liberal Governments here and now I am not proud to say that Canada is one of the highest taxed Countries in the Industrial World. I pray that the new President of the United States will unify a fractured Country and not fragment it more with extreme liberal policies. To show I am not against the U.S., I have recently invested in a new Incorporation there and even yesterday, sent for my new U.S. tax number. I have faith in the U.S. and believe God has His hand on her.
So here is to our neighbours to the South, may God richly bless you in this historic time.
Kind Regards,
Larry J Clark
