They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them
In memory of our fallen Canadians:

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
The above is the greeting and response traditionally given between Christians on Easter day. The day is a joyous day, celebrating the discovery of the empty tomb and the risen Christ appearing before the women who had come to the tomb grieving the loss of their Lord. Easter is a time of renewal and rebirth. We’ve just finished 40 days of Lent in which we reflect on our life in Christ. Read the rest of this entry »
Today is Good Friday, one of the most important days on the Christian calendar. Went to church this morning, it was that important a day. Today is the day which commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
In some Christian circles the Jews are vilified as the people who were responsible for his crucifixion. I can’t bring myself to do that, nor can I consider Judas to be a betrayer of Christ to the Jewish leadership. Read the rest of this entry »
Just getting home, and am rather beat but wound a bit. I was flying low down from my dad’s place just now and encountered a cop doing radar in total darkness out in the middle of nowhere. Well, had he chose to he had me dead to rights, not quite as fast as he could have had me for just 5 minutes earlier but fast enough. Read the rest of this entry »
Well the bronchitis is slowly coming under control. I finished the antibiotics the doc gave me but the cough is still persisting. Not as bad as it was and I still tire if I’m not careful how much energy I’m using up but all in all, I’m somewhat on the road to recovery.
I was home almost all day today. I had to go to an Area Council meeting for the church in Peterborough this evening. It was a long meeting, about 3 hours but we did cover a lot of material and ended up needing some lengthy discussions to accomplish that. Least the weather was good for travelling.
Today was a bit of an interesting day. I had to go up to my Peterborough office this morning to do a couple of counselling sessions and an interview. The interview was late showing up. The guy owns two recent model vehicles but since he decided to drive his old beater vehicle and it didn’t start then it was ok to show up late… grrrrr.
Anyways, I ended up not getting away from Peterborough until just after 1pm and was supposed to be at a lenten discovery group in Colborne by 2pm. Time to fly slightly low.. and bloody fast. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve found a style sheet that works in IE for this theme. Well, mostly works. There is a customization that I did which isn’t working right but for the most part the pages display properly in IE. Needless to say, I’ll be adding a GET FIREFOX button to the site as soon as I can.
Well DAMN! I just learned that while this theme works great in Firefox.. it is major broken crap in Internet Explorer. SO.. back to the damn drawing board and I was really liking this theme. Guess I will have to go hunting for a similar theme that works in IE.. either that or post a HUGE notice telling my IE visitors to get a damn real browser.
Guess I better head off to bed before I get really ticked.
The doc gave me some meds for this bronchitis on Friday. I’ve taken a few doses of it and so far I seem to be feeling crappier than better. Guess I better hope it gets worse before it gets better. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been struggling with a bout of bronchitis for a week now. Was in to see my doctor yesterday. Her nurse Angie after taking a reading of my temperature and oxygen levels gave me a news flash — I’m sick. It was good to know that I hadn’t just spent most of the week on my back on the couch because I was lazy. Read the rest of this entry »
