News, Links & Comments
Canadian Pride: Paul Haggis, a screenwriter from here in London, was nominated for an Oscar for his script for Million Dollar Baby. The Toronto Star had an article about him last week.
Blog Updates: Elyse has moved her blog to a new site. Mike has redone his page template in preparation for a blog reboot so stay tunred for that. Jevant has started to attach automated polls to his blog.
UWO: As I mentioned here, I went to the final presentation for the Do You Agree With Them campaign at UWO this past Thursday evening. There were several hundred people there and four UWO students shared their stories about being/becoming Christians. That was followed by a question period that was pretty good. The best part for me was hearing the detailed version of Derek's story about how his mother was miraculously healed from life-threatening injuries, complete with visual aids. God can just blow your mind sometimes.
Movies: On Thursday night, Mike and I went and saw The Motorcycle Diaries after we went to UWO. Good movie, although it's subtitled to include a lot of swearing. It's about two young guys that decide to cross Latin America with a single motorcycle, eventually ending at a medical colony for lepers. It was interesting to see Latin America as it was a few decades ago, and it was interesting to see how these two young men changed over the course of the trip.
Books: I recently read the book Factoring Humanity by Robert J. Sawyer (London Library link). I didn't realize it but he also wrote Calculating God, which I read just two weeks before. Both are excellent (and award winning) sci-fi books that I highly recommend for anyone that likes science fiction.
Book Summary: Calculating God
Aliens visit us to study the history of our planet and the major extinctions that have happened. These aliens believe in God as a matter of scientific fact, and by "God" they mean an omnipotent being of some sort. They're quite surprised to learn that our scientists do not believe in God. The story unfolds as a combination of a first contact story, a religious debate and a sci-fi novel all tied together in one fascinating little package. (Kudos to Mike for originally recommending it to me.)
Youth Worship Team: Y'know, I've been involved with leading different youth groups and small groups in various ways for more than ten years now. I have to say, though, that leading and teaching the youth worship team at FCCC was probably my favourite ministry ever. So, did anyone from the old team receive anything interesting in the mail recently? Hmm?

Hahahaha yes! I was like, "what the heck is this?" But then I opened it and was like, "aahhhh". I don't quite remember what we were supposed to be writing about. I think stuff we wanted for the worship team. I don't know. Sad to say, I don't think any of it came true. It was depressing. But a good reminder.
I'm glad you got a kick out of it, Aleah, even if it was a bit of a downer. It wasn't supposed to be a crystal ball, it was supposed to be spiritual encouragement. I remember doing something like that at the end of my missions trip to Belize. When I got the letter from myself months later I read about powerful things that God was doing that I had already forgotten. It was cool.
I'm still waiting to hear what everyone else thought about their letters...
Crystal ball is not what I was referring it as. I was simply saying, considering the church closed down and there were some problems with the leadership, it didn't turn out the way I thought it would have. That's all.
Ah, okay. Sorry, I misinterpreted your comments. I s'pose this conversation is fairly vague by necessity.
