The lady asked me, “When was the last time you had your eyes checked?” (…) I was counting the years “Well a good four years, around 2002″ I guess I’m bad with math, I got my last glasses at the end of 2002 – it’s been five years… I had a hard time not smiling [...]

’bout time
Hello readers.
There are so many things I could do but I do so little. I’m starting my third week of strike, well, it is not that I personally am on strike but my university faculty is, so even if I would go to class, strikers would keep me from getting to the room. We’ve been [...]

lies and lies
I started my second week of strike at university. We voted yesterday and the majority decided that we would continue the strike for another two weeks. Yes it is frustrating.
There is one course that’s still on. Literature. Tonight we talked about Paradise Lost by John Milton, a puritan of the 16oos. I was appalled at [...]

Youth
We were four as usual, sitting at our kitchen table talking about church and youth. Our stomachs were full of shepherds’ pie, beets and the eve’s doughnuts that we had to bring home from a supper at our friends’ place. After talking about the challenges and differences there is between our two churches and dreaming [...]

How narrow is your door?
I went to prayer meeting tonight. I guess I thought it was at 7:30 (like any good church you know…) but I when I sat down I thought I was mistaken because the pastor was giving a class on how to do evangelism with a special set of cards with drawings on them. I was [...]

Hey, if you’re feeling like baking or cooking, I added two recipes to the recipe page up there. Easy, unbaked cherry cheesecake pie… or just cherry pie in French and… some General Tao chicken (your kitchen will smell like an Asian restaurant).
I’ve tried them both and they are delicious – even the chicken – no [...]

Mont Royal
There’s something happening every other week with the Verdun youth group. It’s either on a Friday night for a Bible study or on a Saturday afternoon for anything that’s different. Today we went sledding on mount Royal. I had told the leaders it would not be as easy if we’d have a bunch of six [...]

Evening
Oh before I start – my university association has gone on strike and it’s starting this coming Monday. It means that all my courses are canceled until we get enough people to vote against the strike. Next vote is on Monday, February 18 in the morning, so you can pray that things will be straightened [...]

Utopia
The Fry’s left around 7pm and I smelled like fish. I figured I had time to go downtown and listen to the second half of my literature class. I waited for the class break at 7:30, got in the classroom and sat with some friends. I hadn’t missed much they said.
People did a presentation on [...]

“Quiet Strength”
I was sitting in a classroom, listening to the teacher talking about some … something. I don’t know why but the topic pushed my neighbor to tease me by saying that I was insane, “I was just kidding! Actually, I think that you’re the most sane or “équilibrée” (balanced) person in our class.” We were [...]
