Overcoming Dispair

We've had a very busy weekend and the highlight had to be Friday night, Sarah and I went to Park Road Pentecostal Church in Brantford to hear Monique LePine speak.  It was advertized on the radio that she had two children commit suicide.  I had no idea that they were her only two children or that her son was Marc LePine of the Montreal Massacre in 1989.  (I didn't know his name before Friday night)

If you ever have a chance to hear Monique speak, it is very worthwhile.  God has given her a reason to live, when she could find no reason elsewhere.  She brings hope for others who are dealing with depression and/or suicide.  She has brought great blessing to many of us who heard her speak in Brantford.

Merci beaucoups, Monique! and God bless you!

No Matter What the Weather...
God is still in control.  Praise Him!  Whether the weather be sunny or gloomy, rain or sleet or snow or freezing rain, the weather is still under His command and there is nothing that can happen that God doesn't allow.  Today, the wind is very chilly - may I remember those scorching hot days of summers gone by, those days that I wished for a brisk wind.  May I also appreciate a hot chocolate and cuddly soft blanket and some tender hugs from my loved ones.  :-)  It is a lovely day to run the dishwasher, the washer and dryer and to use the oven.  All that free heat is just bonus blessings!  The rains and rainbows of spring will be here, soon enough - enjoy the need for comfort and cuddling while it's still here!  :-D

Welcome!
