The Big Announcement

Here's the surprise. Is it a baby? Are we adopting? Are we moving to foreign lands? No, no and no. In fact, this is something that has taken me about 22 years to do.
The Big Announcement is... I am running for city council (Courtenay) this November. It is time. The baby buggy hint wasn't dishonest! As all politicians are known for kissing babies to get votes - that was it. :-) So there you have it. I welcome your thoughts and prayers and support! feel free to comment in the comments section. Thanks again! I'll blog on it later, but am going to a political meeting right now!

Good on you Craig. Going to do that in your spare time eh? You will be wonderful and you have our vote and support already. Joseph says he will put up signs, deliver flyers and whatever it takes to get you elected. When do we start. Blessings. Joseph & Lori

Wow! Didn't see that one coming. That is great. I'd vote for you, except that could cost you the election... I live in Comox. (Voting fraud and all...!) Thank you for setting an example for the rest of us. This is awsome!

Hey that's great Craig...looking back I can see this is something that would totally suit you! You'll do great! I'd vote for you too but It's too far to drive besides...I don't think they'd take too kindly to a Pentictonite trying to vote in Courtenay! I'm glad to see that you will have a great support network backing you..willing to do some legwork by the sounds of things!!
take care!
love ya brother of mine.

Congratulations on pursuing something big. One day someone will be writing on their Facebook profile "I shook Mr. Millar's hand!!!" Thanks for sharing with us. If we were able, you'd get our vote. We'll definately pray! Isn't it convenient that you have a wife that loves politics and who loves to pray for the leaders of our country/province/town. Hmmmm, funny that. God does know what he's doing, doesn't he, even years before we know what we're doing!

kim said...

Umm, I didn't mean that you weren't already pursuing big things. I meant something bit "to you!!" Guess proof-reading is a good idea. kim

kim said...

Again, proof reading is a good idea. Try again... "something BIG to you."
