I knew it!
Apr 22nd
Those of you who use Hotmail in Canada may have already read this, but I found it rather interesting.
Link found between cocaine and chocolate
I’m fairly sure that I’m addicted to pizza and Dr Pepper. Especially when I have the two of them together. Like tonight. And I’m definitely sure that Rochelle was once addicted to Dr Pepper… from what she’s told me. Seriously… she has Dr Pepper lip balm. Amazing!
In other news, Hadley was released from hospital today! Incredible really… quite fast. He woke up and said, “Enough. I’m going home.” So he did just that. He’s still in a More >

Just because.

Just because I’m bored, and in a poking-fun-at-Jeremy mood, I’ma poke some fun at Jeremy.

Mean Girls: I don’t know about unrude… It could be funny, yes. But it could be incredibly stupid. I’m leaning a little more towards fun, but when it comes down to it, girls are weird man.

The Day After Tomorrow: Could very easily go either way. I think it might be fun. Problem is, the trailer tells you absolutely nothing concerning the film’s plot. However, this will surely be better than Sky Captain….
Shrek 2: I’ve seen the first one too many times. But this should be good. More >
Ottawa
Apr 21st
In the Shadow of Death, in Ottawa, was a huge success. We performed to pretty much packed theatres in Monday. In the afternoon we performed for high school students, and then in the evening for everyone else – including nigh 60 dignitaries, including the Israeli Ambassador to Canada, and the Speaker of the House. Pretty cool eh?
Monday was a pretty exhausting day, but it went really well. The crowds were very receptive to the play, and we could tell that God had really knit everything together and done a powerful work. We have an opera singer in the cast who More >
Back in Black
Apr 20th
Just got in from Ottawa, and good news awaits me!
Hadley’s situation has gotten less bad. He has slowly begun mending, and the CT scans have shown that he’s not getting any worse. Here’s the exact account of what happened to the poor lad:
“Friday afternoon Hadley came off his skateboard and fell straight back unable to catch himself, and hit his head on the concrete (or stair, or brick wall, we aren’t exactly certain). Anyhow, he fractured his skull pretty bad. He has no external cuts (not counting some minor grazes to his arms), so all the blood that was lost More >
Sick boy, new toy, play joy.

I have no new news on Hadley’s situation, so keep him and his family in prayer. I really feel for them, as Rochelle was really kind and helpful to me when my Dad had his heart attack just before Christmas.
In slightly better news, I went and bought my XBox today. Due to having spending restrictions on my bank account I was only able to buy Halo, and no other games yet. But that’s ok. I have to play around with some network stuff in my house before I’ll get XBox Live. Right now I’ve got Rogers Cable running into the More >
Prayertime
Apr 17th
Hey all… quick and urgent prayer request. My good friend Rochelle’s brother Hadley just got into a nasty skate-boarding accident and is in hospital with quite serious injuries. The doctors are saying things could go bad. He has a cracked skull and bruised and swollen brain.
Please pray for his immediate healing, and subsequent recovery, and for the emotions of the family. This is an awesome family, close friends of mine. Please lift them up in prayer.
Tick-tock
Apr 16th
So the clock is ticking for our performance of “In the Shadow of Death.” We had our first of two dress rehearsals tonight, (just got home, it’s midnight). I’m so freakin exhausted. I’m excited about performing, but I’m really deeply tired.
Please pray that things go well for us in Ottawa. We all leave this Sunday morning and then perform twice on Monday.
I must now go to bed. I feel like a zombie.
By bullseye I of course mean camouflage…

“A little lower than the angels”
Apr 15th
There’s a few scenes in the play that I’m in, in which my character is seen to be reading a book. One of the books that was bought for this purpose is entitled, “In His Maker’s Image,” by Robert Edward Brennan.
Here is an excerpt:
Though man is not a pure spirit, yet his gift of understanding is a spiritual power. Thus, to grasp things in their natures is to grasp them by a form which is freed of the contingencies of matter. And this is what it means to have insight or intelligence. This, moreover, is why we have a share in More >
One of those days.
Apr 14th
I’m exhausted. It was a long stupid day.
But… good things have come from today. Yawan (my workmate) who was stranded in China after being refused re-entry to Canada has now got his visa approved, and should be back on Tuesday. This is excellent news, because before today we had no idea if he would even be back at all. Knowing that he should be in next week has calmed me down a lot, because I was having to do his work as well as my own, and had been slated on for some weekends to cover him there as well. More >
CDs
Apr 13th
I just bought Passion – Hymns: Ancient and Modern; and KJ52 – It’s Pronounced Five-Two.
Love the Passion CD – still deciding about KJ.
