I shed tears today.

Tears flowed down my face for the first time in........well I honestly cannot remember the last time I shed tears. Perhaps grade 11 or 12, at the end of high school.

My heart today broke. My friend's father passed away last week and today the reality that my friend will not have a loving earthly father anymore moved me.

I listened to Joel Osteen's sermon, "Live Life Happy", and was deeply troubled by his message. It was Biblically wrong in every way, and I was deeply troubled. I saw how many people listened to his lies, cheering on his every word, how many people have been received. My heart broke for those people.

Those who know me know I very rarely cry. Four tears rolled down my face because I am so heartbroken for this world.

So many of my friends do not know Jesus. My heart breaks.
So many false teachers, so many people deceived, so many lies. My heart breaks.
My friend's father's passing. My heart breaks.


For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!
~Job 19

Health care - two tier system

I don't know why ppl complain and whine about this whole two tier system, how it's immoral and wrong and shouldn't exist in Canada.

First, health care is not really free at all to anybody. It's paid for through our high taxes. The "free" part only covers what the government deems as "necessary". Many procedures and operations that can and are life saving or preventative are not covered and will cost you.

Second, as the current official stance is that health care is "free" for all, what's the problem with having people who wish to use their own money pay for health care from private clinics? These people pay taxes just like everybody else does. If they wish to pay even more money for health care, so be it.

Third, if people believe those who pay for private healthcare are receiving better preferential treatment, the blame should not lie on these private healthcare for providing a better service, but on the public healthcare system for not being able to keep up.

If you disagree, put it in the comments. I will probably not engage in an argument with you as a response because if you disagree with my view, that's your prerogative and right.

God has been gracious to me because I am never short-coming. I needed more time in school and I was given that. Needed a job, given that. Needed to learn many different things, given that.

He just don't stop giving. Stay faithful and He's good.

What I dont' understand about speed signs...

I went fishing today with Tracy to Hastings, so blasting on the 401, I'm traveling 130 in the passing lane, with cars in front of me doing the same and those not in the passing lane doing about 120. I see a cop on the side of the road and guess how many ppl slowed down? that's right, zero. none. zip. nada.

Does the cop pull anyone over? Nope.

So then I say, what's the point of a speed limit if it will not be enforced? and why this "street racing" law? Just sounds like a bunch of BS to me, a PR stunt to tell ppl "yes we're doing something to put an end to all this speeding which causes deaths". Last I checked, street racing accounted for 7 of the 200 something deaths on the road. The rest was due to drink and driving, driving while tired, driving while stupid, driving while on the phone..............

Please, Ontario, be sensible for once. Raise the limits to something reasonable (say 140 on the 400 series) and enforce it to the T, so that even if you go one over, you get a $10,000 fine.

See? A real "limit"

This blog will be back to life soon....so watch out

First update in years, as promised :)

God is a good and gracious God. The older I get, the more I realize how truly blessed I am. Details later.

BLogging at work again - 5:24pm..

There is 6 more minutes until the end of work, at least for me anyway, and everybody is typing away being ultra busy, while I'm sitting at my desk redoing my tie for the 7th time, learning different styles from a google search. I finally got bored and decided to blog.

All I did today was walk around for a bit, scan files, and make sure they look nice and pretty. I managed to do that for 8 hours, but now I'm so bored I've given up for the past 45 minutes. So now I'm just hammering away at this blog and making sure that I look busy. THe whole time I have a Microsoft file on so that I look very busy. It's not like I don't have work, I do, it's just it doesn't really matter whether I do it or not, cause nobody cares.

And now it's 5:26, and I only have 4 more minutes til the end of work. O wait, there's 5:27, so that means 3 more minutes :) Almost time for freedom! Hurray! :D
