Creation in Christ
“But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask him for anything?”
I answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? what if the [...]

Steak?
Every once in a while my friend and I get together and have coffee somewhere downtown. Well I never actually have coffee since I quite dislike the taste of it, but anyways. My friend called me last night to tell me plans had changed and we were instead having supper at her place since a [...]

the City
I left the classroom. Walked down some stairs, then more. I walked in a tunnel, on the wrong side. I passed pop machines and mars bars, I turned left. I walked up a few stairs and noticed there was -again- something going on at the auditorium. I got through the university doors and turned left. [...]

It’s ALL Over
Intense afternoon. We met at Le Métropolis at 12:30 and got out around 5pm. After 8 weeks of strike, the so-called “mouvement” was gasping for breath, but not wanting to lose face, the faculty leaders proposed to lower our demands on the university, so low, so that they would be met in a day or [...]
