“The men’s things/bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy.” (I Samuel 21:5b)
David and his men are fleeing from Saul and they are hungry. So David goes up to Ahimelech who is a priest of God at that time and asks him if he’d have anything to give them to eat. Samuel tells David that [...]

On a HOLY MISSION

Back to the Country
As you might have noticed, I was away for a week. I went to Saskatchewan, actually to Bethany College and spend some time with friends out there. It was so good and it felt as if I had never actually left Saskatchewan and Montréal and university was just a dream I had. I laughed at so [...]

In Class
I find myself in a classroom again and I am not sure why exactly I am here. I feel frustrated because I don’t find meaning in what I am supposed to learn. When I look around me, I see a bunch of people, about 75 and the majority is probably going to hell, maybe everyone. [...]

On the Street
After writing a midterm tonight I walked home feeling a bit frustrated because it hadn’t gone the way I wanted it to go. So it was dark and raining pretty hard, the wind was strong, almost like a Saskatchewan wind. A supposedly homeless guy was sitting in a store entrance way so he wouldn’t get wet and even [...]

Winter’s Comin’
If you live in Québec you probably noticed the red and orange and yellow leaves floating in the wind and that are everywhere on the ground. If you live in Saskatchewan, you probably noticed the yellow leaves too… if you’re from anywhere else in Canada, I am sure you’ve been feeling that summer is away [...]

Shame on Me
I am taking a break from « homeworking ». So instead of thinking about teachers’ motivations to teach and my outline, I’ll think about my little life again. It is gorgeous outside, how I wish I’d just go for a walk and take pictures of
Montreal in the fall. I love this season and this weekend is just [...]
